My great grandmother was legally married at 13. She had 10+ kids and had a few by 15. She lived far older than most of us will, to her 90s. The idea of girls only being capable of marriage/reproduction at 18 is entirely an artificial construct…one of society. Not biology. Most Doctors say 30 is the top limit of reproductive fitness for females. Yet our forked up sense of morality has many of them believing they should not reproduce until their 30s after their education, careers, nice home and car, 401k has 1/2 million dollars and they have vacationed across the world ..material wants etc. which is why many women find themselves unhappy and childless in middle age. It’s actually one of the deepest and most alarming problems facing the West.

You just PERFECTLY DESCRIBED the scariest movie ever made:

Idiocracy

I could not agree more with your post. Most people do not realize how much the world will change once all the Baby Boomers are done retiring. There are not nearly enough people being born in the subsequent generations to sustain society as we know it today. We are about to reap the consequences of decades of everybody having 1.2 kids so they can focus on the material things.

When I hear women proudly say they are going to delay having children until they are in their 30s, I just want to weep for our future. They are giving themselves an almost impossibly small window for bringing children into the world. Many of them are condeming themselves to being childless by not taking advantage of their prime childbearing years.

I believe the age of consent should be 16. Some kids will go at it no matter how good the parenting is, and marriage at 16 is an out for them, so they won’t completely screw up their lives.

As for me, at age 55, if I get into a sexual relationships, I’ll probably get a vasectomy. At 55, my sperm are just as old as I am, and they’re probably drunk and unfit to carry my luggage.
