I’m reminded of the oft-stated observation that the plural of anecdote is not data. In other words, a handful of socialites bearing a handful of children is not proof – or even a valid observation – of any kind of trend.
Even if it were, one can’t help but wonder how it is any business of Ms. Alkon’s. Did she somehow become the sex police, empowered like a Chinese bureaucrat to determine who may reproduce and how often?
Finally, just to be contrarian I’ll point out that if ANYONE is entitled to keep having children, it is surely those who can actually afford to have them and raise them without relying on the state (i.e., welfare, AKA – the rest of us) to assist on their behalf. If one has the means and the time, then why NOT have a softball team of children?
Ms. Alkon is clearly jealous, but she isn’t doing herself any favors by showing her spite.
