If it's being reported in international media I would guess it's still newsworthy enough to not be a regular occurrence. Like India is huge so you'll find a steady stream of events that are common enough to be frequent in abs

I don't actually think women mind those costs as much. Once you have your first, assuming no complications, many women aren't so spooked by it. I think what really happens is women with careers, hobbies, etc. have more opportuniti

All this means is we’ve built something in the present that someone in the future doesn’t get paid for. We still have the thing we built so I’m not sure what the problem is so long as we’re building something useful (e.g. infrastructure, pu
