@st_louis_stan >it's not really clear what these women are getting out of it other than a vague sense of independence
It's not vague at all. It allows them to forgo relationships with average men just to put a roof over their heads.
An absolutely wild fertility gradient across Iran.
The educated and higher income areas around Tehran have a fertility rate of under 1.0. Meanwhile, the tribal regions bordering Pakistan have a fertility rate more than three times higher.
What does this mean for Iran's future?
@hollowearthterf Oops bimbo you told on yourself.
Your hyperhypergamous brain is incapable of genuinely appreciating those beneath, so you projected that onto men.
Fail.
Not to mention scientific research showing that men want relationships more than women.
@CuriousBunnie12 What "maternal instincts"?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the average woman in the West has her first kid at 34 years of age, 2 entire decades after her first period.
@IterIntellectus Your wife just had her first kid so you posted a deflecting diatribe to defend her honor. Very sweet.
>a woman suffering from PPD can already feel like she's failing as a mother (she's not)
She is. Behaving in irrational and dangerous ways around children is a failure signal.
@olivertraldi It "sounds like" the end of absolutely nothing.
Feminism, all waves / phases, is correctly understood as a movement to allow women to do whatever they please, and avoid whatever they don't.
Not parity with men, or whatever nonsense you think it is.
@angeldevenganza This would occur under any economic system that develops
1. Mass communication tech.
2. Mass fast and far travel tech.
3. Minimal constraints on women’s sexual stratagem.
Which I guess you could argue is capitalisms fault?
@angeldevenganza Close.
Men in their 20s, with better hairlines, skin, energy, bodyfat%, etc. have significantly less sex than men in their 30s and 40s; why?
Because even though they’re physically “superior” to their older age selves, the leverage loss to peer women is much greater.
