WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.
It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.
It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.
It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.
That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.
You want a higher birth rate now?
Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.
That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.

We’ve been looking at endometriosis. The average timeframe for a woman to be diagnosed with that is 10 years 50% of women who have it are walking around and haven’t been diagnosed. you look at the women’s health initiative and oestrogen replacement therapy and how that was all screwed up. It just shows the tentacles of what a patriarchal system leads to and and how it touches so many different aspects of our lives.
Were our ancestors really that strong that they could have 10+ children, or were their husbands just abusive r*pists who didn't care about their wives' physical and mental health?
someone dropped “historically men never provided for women, they just restricted women from providing for themselves” and i’ve been sitting with that ever since
