Correlation Between Tanking US Fertility And The War On Men
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/01/2018 | Matthew Duke

The U.S. officially hit a new low in birth rate and, somehow, scientists are astonished.

Experts will argue this is merely a natural phenomenon — potentially the product of demographic transition, meaning, as a developing society reaches new technological echelons, a longer period of education is necessary for an increasingly complex workforce. This causes higher investment in children, which means fewer children are born. That’s one contributing factor.

Other parties will argue the couples are having children later. Male and female childbearing ages have risen to 28 and 30.9, respectively. This is another contributing factor.

Yet, scientists never ask themselves the most important question: What incentive do modern men have to get married?

The movie IDIOCRACY is way too close to what’s going on.

The Roman Empire was not able to reproduce its own citizens.

Homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, infanticide, and abortion were all rampant and accepted. They were not always called by those names. They were considered to simply be normal practice.

Christians and Jews came to be significant percentages of the Roman Empire because they valued life and children.

Feminism murdered femininity and nearly all societal and biological processes that surround it.

Feminism murdered masculinity and nearly all societal and biological processes that surround it.

Feminism is the most destructive force ever known to mankind. Oh excuse me, humankind.

The ultimate cessation of natural fertility is God's way of letting us know we screwed up big time and better start over again.

The incentive for men to marry is to have and raise a family and that incentive is burnt to ash when the system allows men to be disenfranchised from their families.

OPPORTUNITY COST:

A woman investing in a Harvard PhD gives up A LOT if she has kids, at least for awhile, probably for a long time. So fewer kids

FEMINISM:

“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” —men have noticed.

MGTOW:

Bikes don’t need fish EITHER

PORN:

You only have to buy a box of kleenex, and never have to deal with tears, calls to the police, or lawyers.

VIDEO GAMES:

Only remaining venue where there is NO expectation to act like anything other than a man. Observe Gamergate.

Getting married and having kids frequently has far more disadvantages than it does advantages for many contemporary young people.

Thankfully, not a problem in my family! My younger son and daughter-in-law had my first grandson, who's 1 year 8 months old and they're talking about having more! My older son and daughter-in-law are expecting my second grandson in August and the baby shower is tomorrow. I'm getting them one of the big ticket items, the combination stroller/car seat (wish they had these when the kids were babies!). I'm a proud grandpa! :-)

I have another take on this.

Some of the basic building blocks of Testosterone are Vitamin D and Zinc.

What do modern parents tell their kids?

Cover up from the sun. Stay in and watch TV. Lather up with sunscreen when you go out. That limits the Vitamin D.

Do not eat red meat or eggs too much cholesterol. There goes the Zinc.

We were designed to run around outside near naked, killing and eating all sorts of tasty animals and their eggs.

Also have read but do not know for sure that soy products reduce testosterone. Lot of vegans and their kids on that.

The goal of the extremist feminists is to perfect the use of cloning and stem cells to the extent that the traditional way of reproduction is no longer required. From there,we will be one generation away fro,m it being illegal to be Male.

Look at the the rhetoric of the left. Man and masculinity is autmotically linked with evil. Nevermid the leadership, the wisdom, the protection, the discoveries Men have given women - WE HAVE BECOME THEIR ENEMY DUE TO HOW WE WERE BORN

great observations, and I agree:

SO FAR, feminism hs been faaaaar more destructive to civilization and Western Civ (but I repeat myself) than NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

It might stay like that for a lot longer, too.

Just myself but I married an older man because the males (they don’t deserve to be called ‘men’) my age are all just little boys in big bodies.

I wonder what will happen for my daughters when the come of age and there won’t be any men around at all.

Young men are scared to even say hello to a woman for fear of being labeled a sexual harasser. Having sex, no way.

But there is hope.

I saw this headline today.

“as a developing society reaches new technological echelons, a longer period of education is necessary for an increasingly complex workforce. This causes higher investment in children, which means fewer children are born.”

In Israel, the opposite is the case.

Priorities of educated women seem to be more related to culture and values than to education per se.

So many things can be said about what you have said.

Firstly, congrats on a happy marriage.

Secondly, you touch on how men, males, are raised, and what the socialization process is, etc. Boys are not being raised the same way they were decades ago. Too many boys, and children in general, are raised without a father in the home. Too many without fathers have no other male role models.

Please delineate the differences between those you do believe merit being called men and those you don’t believe merit being called men.

Brigitte Nielsen:

Is it GOOD if a bunch of women at her age go out and try their best to have kids..?
