Young Italian women have no desire to have children!
I’ve heard the same situation prevails in Japan. If women have no desire to have children, then, where does that leave a society?
We all know people who are experiencing such things. I will share a few of people I know. One young woman friend of the family has said she has no desire to ever get married. She’s had a couple of boyfriends here and there, but no desire to marry. She goes to China and Macch Picchu (sp?) and some other adventures regularly.
Another friend of the family, married daughter, has said she has no desire to have children. She’s into her career and also, they like to take vacations and are involved with charity work and other things, which according to them, they can’t fit children into their lives.
Yet another friend of the family, said she has gone to college and is working on a master’s, and that children are incompatible with a career, so no kids for her.
All of these people are in their 20s and early 30s, peak fertility years. All could change their minds later, but then, trying to get pregnant is more difficult the older the woman is.
It seems like an “irreconcilable difference”, in that people in their 20s, going to college, building careers etc, during those years, are precisely the years where females have high fertility if they ever want to have children.
Having been married to an Italian (from Italy), I can confirm this. Like most West European women, they are highly feminist and more interested in fancy vacations and living fancy lifestyles, rather than furthering their genetic legacy. Women are the destroyers of civilizations.
