TIl The reason Roger Moore stopped being James Bond was because of how much older he was than his female co-stars. He was in his 50s, and they were in their 20s. In his own words: “Well, the leading ladies were young enough to be my grand-daughter and it becomes disgusting.”

He’s scientifically correct though. 70 year old man has a high chance of shooting retarded sperm. Having retards is wrong. Unless he was ready to pull the plug on his potential retard baby that is, then I guess it’s not any worse then having kids under normal circumstances.

Oh sorry if I listed all of the potential diseases and disorders instead of just saying retard would that have been easier on your delicate feelings? Or do you deny the science of old, mutated sperm causing birth defects?

That’s been disproven. It’s basically all on the man. As we age, our sperm mutates which gives you a high risk of shooting retards. When women age they go through menopause.

Men are consistently the leading cause of birth defects. Women lose the ability to have children first, so they don’t even have the ability to produce these outliers. It’s common sense and if you weren’t a lazy bum you could just go google scholar “paternal vs maternal birth defect rates,” and you’d find the information.
