Why does an older woman getting pregnant seem to make some people so angry?

I've noticed a lot of weird hate directed at Anne Hathaway (41), Natalie Portman (45), and Elizabeth Olsen (37) for being pregnant at their respective ages, with some people even expressing that they feel sorry for these children.

What's the big deal? I know a woman's fertility decreases the older she gets, but as long as she's not in menopause it's still possible to naturally conceive a child. Is being pregnant in your late thirties or early forties really seen as a crazy thing?

Anni-Frid Frida Lyngstad of ABBA when she made the Something's Going On album with Phil Collins in 1982.

This album produced the epic single "I Know There's Something Going On" which made it to a respectable No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song stayed in the charts for 29 weeks.

The album also included a duet between Frida and Phil called "Here We'll Stay." Despite being rather twee and awful (it was originally written as an entry for the Eurovision song contest) the song was featured on the "Bubbling Under Hot 100" weekly chart at No. 3 in May of 1983. Its position on Billboard was 102.

Whilst the blonde Agnetha Fältskog is the usually considered the most admired and successful member of ABBA, Frida definitely had the most successful song to feature on a US chart. The SGO album is usually considered the most successful post-ABBA solo work aside from Benny Andersson and Björn Ulveaus's work on the musical Chess, which produced the hit Murray Head performed song "One Night in Bangkok"

So apparently some people "can't hear" Frida's voice in shared leads? Aren't the low notes most often (not always) pretty much Frida-dominant?
