I didn’t realize there were so many misogynists on Free Republic.

The place is crawling with them, unfortunately, causing some female Freepers to feel fed up, unwelcome, and some have left.

Unfortunately, some of them ARE female FReepers.

How about getting back to the subject? The White Western birth rate is way down. If present trends continue, whites will be a minority in the U.S. in thirty years. As for England, if present trends continue, whites will be a minority in 2066. It’s going to make our countries unrecognizable.
There are several reasons for this, a combination of factors, not least of which are out cowardly “conservative” politicians.

Males are the dominant gender....if they wanted more children, they'd have more children....

as it is, its quicker and easier for them to pretend to have actual sex with a computer image....

besides, haven't we heard about western men having lower testosterone and lower sperm counts?....I think we know where the blame lies...

I just found out I’m going to be a grandmother . First grandchild! My son and daughter-in-law are very much hoping she can stay home with their children.

Some of us endure near poverty to stay at home with our children. Not every American woman is eat up with careerism.

That's not fair. My wife stays home to care for and raise our two young sons. Oh, wait. She's Russian. Nevermind.

I stayed home and raised our two daughters; but, hubby and I are dinosaurs. American dinosaurs. Perhaps it is just our personalities as we are both rather old-fashioned.

How dare you imply that your wife wants to be home with her kids simply because she’s NOT American.

Check out the abortion rate over there, pal. You think ALL those Russian women WANT to kill their babies? You might want to think again about what made you, American Guy Looking For Wife, so “irresistible”.

I'm assuming you are engaging in a little hyperbole.

I stayed home with my (four) kids as did all my homeschooling friends. Just on my short street, two of the young women who had babies in the last year and a half are staying home. There are more of us than you realize. Some work(ed) from home and some did not.

Agreed. Modern men are weak and decadent.

But if mothers stayed home, and taught latch-key boys the fear of God, they would be grow up stronger, more-self-disciplined and mature. As good Christian men should be.

Likewise, if mothers stayed home and taught latch-key daughters not to be s-words and save their virtue until marriage, men would have to get married at a younger age, and have more babies, and foster a healthy growth of the population.

I totally agree with you. Men can be really greedy and bad. They push their wives into the workforce — away from the kids — just to make money for the big houses and cars.

This is way off base. In the US, married couples are: punished by the IRS for marrying; taxed up the wazoo to pay for an ever-growing, welfare-addicted underclass; and given no options beyond the public schools. “The poor” get free rides to college, while the offspring of the middle and upper middle classes get nothing. I have many married friends who would like to have more children, but are afraid to do so, especially since many of them have been unemployed at least for a time during the last few years. Meanwhile, welfare rewards unmarried women for starting their families when they are teenagers and for keeping having babies through to their forties.

No argument here.

According to some male Freepers, wives who stay home with the kids are "leeches." Many young girls are afraid to tell the guys they date that they want to be stay-at-home wives and mothers. Men now feel that they have a right to the income a wife brings in, and that any wife who doesn't work outside the home is a selfish, lazy leech, and he wants nothing to do with her.

"...some male Freepers"?? I haven't ever seen that from our male Freepers. Who, specifically, did you mean, or are you just leveling charges at "some male Freepers" in general, condemning SOME of them?
You have a wunnerful little rant there against men. Who knocked all the nice out of you? "some male Freeper jerk? Hope not.

So, do ALL men feel that they have a right to the income a wife brings in? Or just a few male Freepers?

Do ALL men feel that any wife who doesn't work outside the home is a selfish, lazy leech? Or just "some male Freepers"?

But by all means, continue to blame only the "selfish" American woman..
Sounds like you've had a hard life. My condolences. I DO blame the selfish American women who have flooded the work market because staying at home taking care of children is MUCH MORE WORK than working in an office or school. At work they get recognition for their work; they get money for their efforts; they can "shine"; whereas at home they just might get upchuck from the newest baby, a round of measles to take care of, endless shopping, cooking and cleaning, no social life outside of other exhausted mothers ... and then hubby comes home wanting dinner and sex. Oh Lord, please let me go back to work, they cry. Being a MOMMY is just too hard!

Poor Nea Wood! You cleaned upchuck once too many times, I guess.

Hahaha, point made!!

Ms. Wood is having a hard day, week, month, year, life.
She obviously hasn't been treated with quite enough respect from you nasty ole male Freepers. How COULD you!?!?? (Use screechy, whiney voice here. It's a trick to be able to whine AND screech in the same sentence and rant. Takes lots of practice.)

Well!! Congratulations!

Sounds like your son learned nothing but GOOD stuff from his sneakers-mom.

Any names for the grandchild yet??? :o) That's always the fun part.

Well, that's a shame. Near poverty in the USA isn't so common anymore. Your circumstances must have been particularly egregious.
If you were that poor then you couldn't have afforded to do anything else but stay home. Working people need money for clothes, commuting, baby/child-sitting, housekeeping, cooks and such just to be able to work. The most-poor can do nothing BUT stay home.

I quit a six figure job to stay home with my kids.

They’re more important than a particular lifestyle.
