Women do not owe the world an increase in birth rates. Every few months there’s a new headline: “Fertility crisis.” “Declining birth rates.” “Who will take care of the ageing population?”
And every time, the finger points at women. Have more children. Sacrifice more. Save the economy.
But let’s be clear: women are not incubators for GDP. We are not vessels for demographic policy. We are human beings with autonomy.
if someone condemns MISOGYNY and your first instinct is to say “NOT ALL MEN,” that means you care more about protecting MALE REPUTATION than listening to WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES. the way you prove it’s not all men is by CONDEMNING MISOGYNY, not by DEFENDING MEN.
