Nearly half of U.S. women have no children, highest on record

More women in the United States have no children now than at any other time since the U.S. Census Bureau began keeping records in 1976. An average of nearly half, 47.6 percent, of women between the ages of 15 and 44 did not have children in 2014, up from 46.5 percent in 2012, according to the Census Bureau. The average of women without children between the ages of 15 to 44 in 1976 was 35.1 percent.

The general fertility rate in the United States fell for its sixth straight year in 2013. It stands at 1.86, according to The New York Times. A fertility rate of 2.1 is required to have a stable U.S. population.

The article was sad but interesting.

It makes me think, though, that the original feminists like Kate Millett were basically women with psychiatric issues. These kind of women are probably better off childless. Looking at the spoiled, neurotic spawn of the Baby Boomers — the so-called Millennials — I can only imagine what kind of parents they would make.

My prediction? There will be two types of women having children: the underclass (”ghetto” types) and religious. The liberal, hyper-intellectual women will disappear. Or they’ll run to a donor bank with their gay partners.

On your graph, California has the 5th highest birth rate at 1.95. A lot of Freepers comment negatively in regards to California, wishing it would drop into the sea, accusing it of being mostly nuts and gays. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lots of normal people in California, meaning conservative heterosexual family types, and they are having lots of children. I see lots of baby strollers and children here in the SF Bay Area, there are even lots of them in San Francisco. How does one explain that there are fewer kids being born in flyover states (with the exception of a few like Utah)?

Bitter much?

What should an American male do, if feminized American women don’t want him, live alone?

We're reaping the whirlwind.

Neither is it valid to argue, as a justification for sexual intercourse which is deliberately contraceptive, that a lesser evil is to be preferred to a greater one, or that such intercourse would merge with procreative acts of past and future to form a single entity, and so be qualified by exactly the same moral goodness as these. Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good," it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it (18)—in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general. Consequently, it is a serious error to think that a whole married life of otherwise normal relations can justify sexual intercourse which is deliberately contraceptive and so intrinsically wrong.

The United States is being turned into a hellhole... smart people will stop having families...

Obama and liberal elites feel third world uneducated illegals will sustain a nice country. They're wrong. They won't even prop up liberal elites much longer.

Our culture makes it very hard for beta males to marry. Women will not generally even consider one, unless she has children already, and needs his financial support, or she has become an age where bearing children is no longer a serious consideration. Otherwise, no matter his character, he is out of luck.

So I ask, because I am genuinely interested in your answer, what would you advise a beta male of good character to do? Wait to marry until he is around fifty or would you advise him to sacrifice himself to raise children that are not his and his wife will likely, because she has had children now, not have children of his own?

Yeah. Kate Millett, what a package.

A shrill, doctrinaire martinet from the get - the ultimate ranting Kultur Kampfer of the Long March through the Institutions.

At least a lot of people woke up.

Probably too late.

“The general fertility rate in the United States fell for its sixth straight year in 2013.”

So the Obama economy is as successful at creating children as it is at creating jobs...

That is the takeaway. I wonder how the libs will try and blame Bush for this.

Simply put, feminized women are hostile creatures to men. So yeah, if you’re hostile to men, you can expect to live alone. Feminized men are beta males who are weak, so they seek to do what it takes to be pleasing to the female.

I did notice that you didn’t give a serious answer to my question. Everybody who reads this post will notice this and your lack of seriousness to this discussion.

agree. On my fb I am seeing 25 year old married couples with 2 and 3 children and some are planning 4 to 6. The young are having more babies than the olders.

In the open era in Russia after the Party collapse some of the KGB records that got released showed payments to the early feminazis. Stalin and successors were actively financing attacks on Western families.

You were the one who wrote the first bitter, negative screed against your opposite sex. Of course FReeper women are going to take offense. No one who enjoys reading here feels like you describe.

And discussing how “ugly” some women are? If I toss aside the change of subjective beauty ideals over the millennia, I doubt that the number of unattractive women (or men) has ever changed. Also, are there not aunts and uncles or other relatives in your family, leading happy lives as a couple, even if they could never be models?

If I had to just guess, I’d say there are more millennial women who would want a traditional male female lifestyle than men.

I think that’s bull$#!+. Just go to your local mall and look around. The beebaws are everywhere, lots and lots of them, little kids under ten years old. Pale blond ones, jet-black ones, brown ones, yellow ones and orange ones. And their parents are all millennials, people who were born near the end of the last century. They were born after Roe v Wade, and many of them are old enough to realize that they are lucky to be alive. In fact, some of them probably had siblings who didn’t make it and got aborted, because mommy was holding out for that “perfect designer baby”.

Then I followed it up with a serious inquiry because I think the question is interesting.

I was also commenting on her disdain for males who weren’t prime choice for females who were some wrong for not waiting for an American woman to finally notice him or his handling of his sexual drive in a non-criminal matter.

According to her answer, it’s his problem for being alone and he shouldn’t be allowed to marry unless it’s an American woman.

I just thought her answer was unfair to him.
