@shiftshapr You are talking a good game.

...why does nothing in the economy push fertility back toward replacement?
Perhaps because the institution that historically performed part of that feedback was never principally the market. It was the commons of care.
The contemporary fertility decline is partly a consequence of the de-pooling of reproductive labor and care.
Modern economies have transferred childrearing from extended kin and neighborhood systems into increasingly isolated households while simultaneously increasing the opportunity cost and organizational complexity of parenting.
Commitment pooling may reverse part of this process by making reciprocal care, labor, material support, and emergency capacity visible, dependable, bounded, and shareable across households.
The sex difference in throwing is one of the largest behavioral sex differences ever measured. While training matters, the disparity appears to be mostly biological.
Yet Anne Fausto-Sterling argues in favor of pure socialization while ignoring a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
Few scholars claim to deny biology outright, with most agreeing that nature and nurture interact. In practice, however, they routinely reject biological explanations in favor of comparatively implausible environmental ones.
They pay lip service to biology, but never actually allow it to explain anything.
This new long read by professors Robert Deaner and Mike Lombardo examines the science of throwing, hunting, and combat, and ask a simple question:
What evidence would actually be allowed to count as evidence for an innate sex difference?

I am bothered hearing people talk about the issue of men and boys playing in women’s and girl’s sports while skirting around reality. A lot of people, especially conservative pundits, are using unnecessary descriptors, such as “biological male”, to avoid speaking the truth.
There is only one kind of male or female. If you use the word “biological” in front of either word, it makes you sound like you believe a person can be “trans” as opposed to a “biological” version. I know you don’t think a person can be “trans.” Maybe you think that by straddling the fence you are easing the blow to trans-identifying people. Or, maybe you think it will help you avoid criticism. It won’t do either. You don’t help anyone because it’s a lie.
You can have conversations about men and boys in women’s and girls’ spaces without the unnecessary descriptors. It doesn’t mean you hate anyone. It just means you are truthful. Speak the truth and always observe objective reality. This is the best practice for society.
This is such a horribly shocking statistic that it's hard to comprehend, but it's even harder to comprehend that there will be *worse years ahead*. Much worse.
The sadism is the point. Forced-birthers will still call her a whore & murderer & use her case as evidence women are irresponsible & deserve to be punished with forced birth & death.
But forced-birthers will continue to lie about this. By denying that abortions are required for many miscarriages, they deliberately leave women to die.
@Rainmaker1973 There are also Xennials (of which I am one)- generation Xers who got the internet in college who became 1.5 digital natives (if they dove in and really engaged digitally). The window of your cultural bridging fluency people is a bit wider then you are suggesting.
