This and internet addiction are definitely more responsible than people are letting on. Also the unwillingness a lot of people have to commit and/or start families. And especially the negative marketing done towards women with respect to having children.
- standardUser 4y agoWhat exactly is the "negative marketing" that you think is manipulating women into having fewer children?
- trophycase 4y agoHow it's expensive, how it will ruin your career, how it will destroy your body, etc. Talk to gen-Z women, many of them are inundated with this kind of thinking.
- standardUser 4y agoIt is expensive and it is true that building most careers becomes more difficult if you take extended time off. And some women do experience extreme changes to their body. That "kind of thinking" sounds entirely fact-based, not "negative".
- preordained 4y agoSeems a bit one-sided, no?
- standardUser 4y agoI think most people grow up with intense, sometimes overwhelming pressure to marry and start a family. Having some facts discussed on the other side of that argument seems useful and long overdue.
- doliveira 4y agoI mean, it's a wonder women still choose to have children. I see it is a triumph of the human spirit, because through a purely capitalist and individualist lenses having children doesn't make much sense.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoDoes not make much sense for a woman. Until recently, with the advent of a relatively safe society and without birth control options, they basically had no say in having children. Now, we get to find out the market price (excluding long term externalities) of birthing a child (and child #2, 3, 4, 5, etc) without the fact of being physically weaker tilting the scales.
