The Muzies and Mexicans are breeding like rabbits.
Catchy tune...
The message feminists put out starting in the 60s-70s that women should pursue a career first and finding a marriage partner second - and its uptake by lots of American women - has greatly exacerbated the decline in the birth rate.
Since more women than men now pursue higher education, that means there will be fewer men earning higher salaries. Most women naturally want the man to earn at least as much as they do if not more for reasons of status. Women are far more status conscious than men are.
Conversely, men strongly prefer younger women. Again, this is natural and is not going to ever change. Thus a college educated 30 something woman is not going to be anywhere near as attractive to most men as a similarly attractive woman who is 10 years younger.
Neither sex is willing to budge on those two issues. The result is a standoff and no marriage and no kids. If we want to reverse the declining birth rate we need to encourage couples to get married earlier and not put it off til later.
The Left has done a good job of destroying the family as the basic social unit.
Candy bar used to be .5 cents per eight hours work.
Leftism IS nihilism... Abortion, gay sex, complete self-absorption, suicide, feminism, population control, animal rights over human rights, apocalyptic predictions for the future... The only good news is that the left is the most heavily impacted by it. Conservatives have to fight like hell to make sure it stays that way.
Pregnancy is a debilitating, disfiguring disease condition which curtails a female’s social life and produces lifelong financial and civil responsibilities; for which abortion is the cure.
Used to be, children were a work asset for the household, especially for farm families.
A century+ ago, there weren’t all the conveniences — wash machines, refrigerators, automatic furnaces, vacuum cleaners, automatic stoves, prepared foods, indoor plumbing, powered mowers, milking machines, cars and trucks. Not much leisure time unless there were numerous helpers — the kids.
There were horses and livestock to tend, crops to plant and harvest, water to fetch and waste to haul, clothes to hand-wash and hang to dry, fires to tend, food to prepare and cook, floors to sweep and carpets to beat. Kids were needed and desired to help with it all.
why have some western women not taken having children and raising them seriously? neglected, harmed in many ways, aborted, spoiled entitled, all sorts of reasons many western women are so focused on themselves - and no longer see motherhood as a blessing and gift
