Too often childfree women are met with quite a bit of unsolicited commentary on their life choices. Jennifer Aniston knows this all too well.

In an interview with Carson Daly for the Today Show published this morning, Aniston discussed her personal experience as a childfree woman and the constant questioning she is subjected to because of it.

Daly referenced the 45-year-old's interview with Gloria Steinem this past February at the MAKERS conference where Aniston said, "Being a woman, your value and worth is associated with your marital status or whether or not you've procreated."

Aniston expanded on this idea, telling Daly:

I don't have this sort of checklist of things that have to be done, and.. if they're not checked, then I've failed some part of my feminism or my being a woman or my worth and my value as a woman because I haven't birthed a child.

Aniston went on to admit that she truly has no idea why people care so much about her prospects of having children. "I've birthed a lot of things," she told Daly. "I feel like I've mothered many things and I don't think it's fair to put that pressure [of having children] on people."

Man, both of these people look old as shit.

[Parlay44]

There's a reason she's old, single and childless and it's not by choice. Look around honey ...you are not the norm.

At her level she could get a man easily. The problem is she got alpha widowed by Brad Pitt during her last window of fertility. Hard to bounce back from. She'd have needed to pop out a kid months after losing one of the most attractive high status men in the world.

I don't understand what the problem is?

there is a thread about all men should be a father someday and what guys replied?

[Parlay44]

She's a typical woman. She has money and security therefore she doesn't "need a man".

Women used to trade their youth and beauty up front for a life of security providing they take care of man's children. That's been the deal since the dawn of time.

Since she no longer has youth and her beauty is fading fast and her eggs are few and far between ...she has nothing to offer a man. What man would want her for anything other than her money at this point? She's completely delusional.

Not only that. I think they interrupted the interview, since it seems to me that her voice broke and she started crying when she talked about having children.

My guess is that she waited too long and seeing how her ex Brad Pitt makes one baby after another with a woman who is 7 years younger and more attractive (and even more successful for what it's worth) than her must be really painful for her.

Like so many women before she sacrificed her fertility to an Alpha and her "career". Now she has to hamsterize her unhappiness away.

Only very very very few women can be happy without having children. If it is 10-20% with men, then it is likely 1-2% with women.

Well, your value and worth sure as hell isn't measure by some 20 year old television show I never saw, and a bunch of dire, crappy movies.

Apparently, she values 'The Bounty Hunter' and 'We're The Millers' over having a husband and children.

There's something wrong with her. Or maybe it's just me. This fall it will have been about 20 years since the show Friends first appeared and people started making a fuss over her. She's quite attractive and has retained her looks far better than most women her age. But she's always lacked sex appeal. More so than just about any female celebrity I can think of, she has not one bit of sexiness about her. She's very good looking, but something is missing.

[SteveMcMahon]

She's still very attractive for a middle aged woman, but pre-wall, she was stunning:



The years have taken their toll on other hot women from the 90's too. Cameron Diaz and Sandra Bullock look botoxy now. Pamela Anderson has turned into a scary tranny. I saw an advert recently for women's face cream and it was apparently endorsed by Skeletor.

I thought to myself: "What the... Skeletor?!?"



Then I realised it was, in fact, Claudia Schiffer.



DAMN YOU, RAVAGES OF TIME!!!

Nah, it's not just you. Even in her prime, she was vanilla ice cream: maybe you'd eat it in a pinch, but it's not something you'd ever rave to anyone about having tasted.

When she married Brad Pitt, the disconnect was obvious. When he left her for Jolie, it was like nature's equilibrium was restored.

Ignore the fake scar, but look at how mid-40's HR worker plain she is.

She looked good in Rock Star and Office Space. Ironically I couldn't google any good pics of her from either movie.

[AnonymousBosch]

^ You can't find pictures where she looks as hot as you've been told she's supposed to be, because she isn't: she's a dog.

Season 1 of Friends, in her heyday. All hair, then and now.



She's like Jennifer Lawrence, the sort of girl women in the media tries to convince everyone is 'beautiful', including naming her the 'sexiest woman alive', because she's plain and unthreatening.

Get fucking real.

[RexImperator]

Yeah but that's just her face...don't forget how perky those nips were back in the early seasons of that show.

[AnonymousBosch]

^ Yeah, but you can have both.

[Feisbook Control]

I never got the hype. She has a man jaw. She also does that weird thing where she barely moves her mouth when she speaks and has an annoying voice, too.

As for not having kids: no one is buying that one at all.

[bojangles]

Never liked her and it was just because she wore no bra that she even oozed any sex appeal. Brad Pitt took her life, jokes on her

[berserk]

Nah, she had a nice ass back in the day too, but it's worth considering that maybe she medically can't have a child. Also like how Huffington Post make sure to write childFREE not childLESS.

[UnW]

She really does epitomise Life as an alpha widow.

[The Beast1]

Sounds like she's projecting her fears of inferiority on her lack of motherhood outward.

The woman was never attractive even in friends. I've slept with hotter women in my life.

[Parlay44]

Here she is kissing a tranny in Rock Star.

[Days of Broken Arrows]

How much you wanna bet her first thought upon hearing the nude photo news about J-Law news was "(Sob!) What wasn't it me?! Men don't even care enough anymore to hack my account!"

In fact, I bet a lot of actresses over 40 thought this.

Agree, that's her appeal and why so many women like her. Remember, back in her day so many women dressed and styled their hair like her.

I would argue she's not a dog, at least not in her prime. She had a cute, girl-next-door quality. At least she was feminine. She's certainly light years ahead of the current most popular woman on TV, Lena Dunham.

Either way, it should be a lesson to younger generations. If Jennifer Aniston had trouble locking down a guy and having a baby, what does that say to the majority of 'independent' women who think they can do whatever they want for however long they want?
