Why are there more men than woman in masters swimming? Everyone says that women's events always end before the men's events (and thus we have to keep that odd/even rule for pools at nationals). Is this still true? The last meet I attended there were 62 heats of women and 65 of men.

Fine. I see it is pick on Fortress day.
I didn't say that women with careers are too busy to have kids. You just misquoted me to be mean. I said that some women delay having kids while starting careers. Do you think this rather blandish statement is either controversial or stereotyping? Obviously many women - inluding freakin' myself -- do both. I was speculating that this was perhaps why we are missing some women masters swimmers in the 30-40 ages groups. Or perhaps it's just my demographic area, which I'm eminently more able to speak to than you are.
I wasn't stereotyping about fertility drugs either. That is based on my own many conversations with women my age and younger on this topic over the last ten years. Have you have such conversations?
