Why should anyone feel pressured to have children at all? That's a pretty horrible way to view the world, you're acting as if a woman's value is decreased once she can't have children anymore. That sounds a lot like social tyranny to me.
- AmericanChopper 4y agoI’m not suggesting anybody is pressured to have children. Only that those who want to have to do so by a certain age, and the among those who do not or who are unsure, some portion of them decide that they do want to when confronted with the reality that they will no longer be able to. > you're acting as if a woman's value is decreased once she can't have children anymore. That sounds a lot like social tyranny to me. A woman’s value as a partner would be decreased for anybody who wanted to have children, or who at least wanted the option of having children. The idea that if you want a partner, you’re going to have to attract one, is not a tyranny. There are some people who think that this is tyrannical, for instance the incel community, but they are clearly wrong.
- standardUser 4y ago"A woman’s value as a partner would be decreased for anybody who wanted to have children" Again, please explain why this is any concern of yours. If you want to seek out and help woman who voluntarily want help finding a partner and having children, get at it. Otherwise, supporting a system that coerces or forces young people into decisions against their will is a form of tyranny.

- emodendroket 4y agoWhoops, guess I messed it up by having a child with someone not from my "nation." I think I'll pass on ethnonationalism.

- emodendroket 4y agoI can't think of a response to this that wouldn't be breaking the rules so I'll just say no thank you.
- AmericanChopper 4y ago> what is a nation ? And why should any individual care about it more than one self Regardless of the definition, the reason most people _should_ care about their nation is because their welfare depends on it to some extent. Most people wouldn’t be able to adequately care for themselves and their dependents without the entitlements and infrastructure that the nation administers. There are some people who don’t have to care about which nations succeed and which fail, because they are either rich enough or skilled enough benefit from the institutions of any nation they choose (probably a reasonable amount of HN readers are in this category). But these people are an elite minority in this respect.
