Tried and true birth rate reduction method
- lotsofpulp 3y agoWomen do not need a bachelor’s degree to learn how to not get pregnant. The whole society needs to accept that women should have rights to birth control, and should have control of when and who they have sex with. And, of course, educated women become able to sell services/goods that allow them to be financially independent, so as to not be coercible. This happens to correlate with a society where women are more educated, but due to differences in physical power, “educated” men have to be part of the equation.
- AutumnCurtain 3y agoWith no evidence to offer I strongly suspect this is the biggest piece of it >And, of course, educated women become able to sell services/goods that allow them to be financially independent, so as to not be coercible.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoI do not see a reason to rank the causal factors, but I can point to a few societies where the women and men are “educated”, but the women lack the rights they have elsewhere (either legally or practically).
- pixl97 3y agoHave there been any societies in the past where women were allowed an education but men were not, because the reverse was common.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoProbably not, but there are countries where women are allowed an education and still do not have the rights they should have. Which is alluded to by the fact that they are “allowed” an education in the first place.
- thefz 3y ago> Women do not need a bachelor’s degree to learn how to not get pregnant. That is because educated women might choose to pursue a career or have fewer kids, not because birth control is hard to understand. Besides, empower women to do what they want with their life instead of being walking incubators. This must be the most superficial comment I have ever read on HN.
