"Are we millennials so busy coming up with pronouns that we can't find a weekend to make copies of ourselves?"
Oh sod off with this. The primal prerogative of reproduction is predicated on the primal need for safe and secure territory.
The wealthiest oligarchs of the boomer generation have done everything they can to ensure the consequent generations are unable to attain that one entirely reasonable primal need.
Women's rights have had an affect on birth rates, yes, but I'd rather take away the oligarch's right to own all the single family homes than my girlfriend's right to decide what to do with her life.

- icare_1er 4y agoSeems very false to me. The rule, for hundreds of thousands of years, has always been to have kids whatever the situation, despite much higher risks and adversity in general. Even today, the people still making kids are largely those in the poorest deciles of the population, with no stable home, etc.
