Why must we cast women in roles they never wanted?

For a long time, one of Hollywood’s most pressing questions was why Jennifer Aniston didn’t have children. It was right up there with why they ever did a second Sex and the City film and how Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriends always seemed to stay 25.
