Riot

Literally shit that Al-Queda is doing in Afghanistan and yet people still don’t realize it.

You cut off opportunities outside the home, you make the public sphere hostile to women’s independence and you create a system where the only viable path left for a woman is dependence on a man for survival.

Ethics aside (yes, I know that's a huge asterisk):

• We've set up society to be dependent on dual-income households. Given that the most commonly cited reason people aren't reproducing (starting later, stopping sooner, w/e) is economics, limiting women's ability to contribute financially to a household is only going to exacerbate this.

• As a childfree man, I don't want a woman to be dependent on me. If my partner is stuck at home due to being unable to work, that isn't going to make me suddenly decide that I want to become a parent. If I was on the fence (which I'm not), it would definitely push me onto the "no" side of the fence due to financial considerations.

This is just fucking stupid and won't work the way they think it will.

Heritage Foundation can fuck off and die.

I commented.on a different post that what we have lost in the 21st century is the belief or hope that things are improving. That had been the cornerstone of all politics since 1945; things are imperfect but they are getting better.

Now it's the opposite. Two décades of things rushing from catastrophe to calamity, and the really big ones only gave us hints, yet.

It's not just that it's hard to want to force a human to be born into this kind of world. It's also that a child is a financial anchor and burden that may end up preventing your own évasive maneuver.

Give families the resources they need to raise a child. Give them a cheap place to live, jobs that don't kill you, healthcare that doesn't bankrupt you, and éducation that makes people better.

We can do it. We just choose to bomb Iran instead.

I remember reading a comment on a similar article about why people don't have more kids anymore. It summed it up pretty well:

Caged animals don't want to fuck.

Make the world prohibitively terrible, where we all feel like trapped animals in a system we can't escape, and we'll focus on survival.

Sounds like Taliban type shit.

They don’t need to plan for that. The climate crisis will force societal regression and poverty, limiting job opportunities. They’re already anti-anthropogenic climate change so they’re doubling down on the (likely) inevitable.

Please understand that this is instinct, not political-variant-specific, or culture-specific:

male-supremacy is the bedrock of totalitarian-authoritarianism, is what the evidence has been showing us, all along.

The "taliban", the "christians", zionists ( yes, the "Israel" which brags sooo much about women's rights compared with other cultures, is eradicating women's rights, & some stories about that have got visible ), the Asian equivalents, it's consistent that murdering women's validity is the basis for authoritarianism's "kingdom".

Ask yourself if the root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph, meant male-supremacists or women, in his "The Meek Shall Inheret The Earth", meaning they'll have their own flowering-time.

( "stalk-growing-time" or "animals-and-tribes-time" is the past 6 "generations"/"ages".

"flowering-time" is the time we're offered, if we get through "The Great Filter", as whites call it, or "The Great Purification", as American Indians call it: it's got nothing to do with gender-supremacy: it's got to do with values & souls.

The fact that male-supremacy has trod-on women's souls for millenia means that needs total undoing.

It in no way requires that male-lives' souls be trod-on, no matter how much male-culture presumes that it "must" mean that, in its exclusive-binary-only "reasoning". )

It's truly the deepest prejudice there is, among our world.

Babboons, chimpanzees, & human-male-supremacism are all absolute-prejudices.

Human-prejuduce, however, is voluntary & that is a difference which needs to be converted to removed.

Man, if only people showed actual opposition to the party blatantly puppeteered by them.

you design government policies that pressure women into having more babies.

Like only 2 weeks or less for maternity leave?

Or lower tax rates for married couples?

all women should move to a northern border state like Montana and just fucking take it over. take over every government office, and declare sovereign independence from the US.

just become absolutely hostile towards conservatives, and force them out.

should plans not work out, just flee to Canada.
