Is it a bad thing ?
As you might know, Malthus was quite concerned about the issues of overpopulation. His solution was to educate women. This seems to be working surprisingly well !

- BlueTemplar 3y agoWell, that too short comment of mine might be slightly disingenuous, considering what you might have thought I meant by this, but here's an overview : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/aehr.12250 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/aehr.12250 I seem to remember that he practiced what he preached (not only as the first ever professor of economics, but also as a pastor), and has founded at least one school for women, but annoyingly I can't seem to find the source any more ?? Of note also : by the end of the 19th century the (neo-)Malthusian feminists had already embraced ideas that he disagreed with like contraception and for some even abortion.
