@itsnwts No, you're confused. In general women actually don't want men who respect them and we men know this - in fact, we can talk about the nice guys who end up as incels who are the perfect example of what happens to men who respect women.
@LoamAndLight@missssssaaaa@hell_line0 So you're just as bad and useless as the anti-natalists? Good to know. Not once have you proved any solutions to the abysmal economy which has also contributed to the low birth rates and telling people to have kids when the masses are broke is of no use. Try having kids broke.
@LoamAndLight@missssssaaaa@hell_line0 It's so good to be alive that I could work 8 hour shifts for seven days of the week and still not earn enough to take care of myself. We're in a second Gilded Age and I can't take care of kids when I can't even afford to take care of myself.
@krimsun622@hell_line0 That's not because there is a lack of resources, it's because lab-grown meat is infinitely cheaper than raising cattle. Profit margins, baby!
@MorticiaCaroli1@hell_line0 You think it's because of capitalism? It's because of BROKEN capitalism, when capitalism worked it gave your grandpa the ability to take care of your grandma and his kids. Communism IS worse but broken capitalism is almost as bad as communism.
@Chebooty@hell_line0 This is correct. Which is ironic because for most of human history teenage pregnancy was normal until now, nowadays it's treated as children having children and then we wonder why we're going extinct. Except we live in a society where we accept our own extinction as morally good.
@goddommot@hell_line0 It's simple, young Gen Z men are not at their prime yet but by the time they get to their prime they'll probably end up like Agent K from Bladerunner 2049.
@NoJuan767366@hell_line0 The lower sperm counts are because of the introduction of endocrine disruptors and micro plastics in everything. But that still doesn't make men infertile when you look at how many Gen Z were aborted.
@Atticus_of_Oz@geoff_lindner@hell_line0 That's because countries are not the same and what's true for Europe isn't necessarily true for America. If you look at America, South Korea and Japan, we have horrid economies with brutal work schedules (and Americans just replaced Japan for the leader of working hours).
@BowTiedDetektiv@hell_line0 That's partially true. The other half of that is that both men and women are needed for reproduction short of the horrifying technology of the artificial womb. (And sadly the artificial womb is going to be what replaced women who refuse to procreate.)
@CFiorentin42848@hell_line0 That's true for PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD TO HAVE KIDS. Infant mortality means nothing when you can't have infants in the first place.
@gmanoh8206@hell_line0 That's because Japan entered an oil shock and people were uncertain about the future so they decided not to have kids. Then they went into the Lost Decades and never recovered. This mess is predominantly economic.
@raamije__@hell_line0 Patriarchy is what kept the human species going for hundreds of thousands of years. You literally just argued that for the survival of the species, we need to bring back patriarchy.
@Rem88431400@crymeariver50@hell_line0 Wrong. If this was any other time in human history y'all would just be taken as war brides. Genghis Khan certainly did not care for your opinions and many other men would not care either. We have men willing to fight and die for your ability to choose today, that's different.
@slayedigneel@hanablisss@hell_line0 But if you follow the money, the top 10 percent own 68 percent of the wealth in the United States while the bottom 50 percent own anywhere from 2.5 to 4 percent of the wealth according to some sources - pay people family wages and give them free time and we will have kids again.
@hanablisss@slayedigneel@hell_line0 No, it's not "trust me bro." It's documented experiences from the Soviet Holocaust against the Ukrainian people, known as the Holodomor, to the tens of millions dead by the hands of the CCP. The CCP admitted they killed 45 million people during the Great Leap Forward.
