Why don’t you back up your point with a study?
This is just silly argument to make in discussion. OP presented coherent viewpoint, and asking “for a study” is a simple way to derail any discussion.
- thrance 2y agoNo, OP presented a right wing talking point that I am tired of seeing repeated ad nauseam and that is never justified. I feel justified in calling out the obvious lack of evidence to their narrativisation of the issue.
- asdasdsddd 2y agoNo its the policy bros who have to justify this one because all the evidence shows that your ancestors had 2-4 times more babies despite having less time, energy, money, child care resources, or education which are all areas that "fertility policy" tries to address. The only counterpoint is that farmers need children to continue the farm. But thats a bad argument because urban fertility rates were also much higher compared to now.
- thrance 2y agoYou might want to learn about the "demographic transition". If it really is only about culture, what do you suggest we should do? Ban contraception? Require women to have at least two babies each? Endoctrinate the youth into wanting to have children? I can't think of a single thing that is not f'd up.
- asdasdsddd 2y agoThe models pretty much say its NOT about policy, but its about the conditions from which cultural values arise from. I don't even know what you are arguing about, did I make a single normative statement in my original post.
