Economic security has been a driver of the time when people choose to reproduce. This was true long before modern contraceptives were available. But I wouldn’t accuse incels of being aware of history or evidence.
One person who has advocated for women to be kidnapped and doled out as sex slaves is Nick Fuentes, a guy whose views are looking more and more like mainstream republicanism with each passing day.
It needs to be pointed out that all this handwringing is about the decline in WHITE birthrates because scratch the surface of this movement and you’ll find Great Replacement Theory. Which is something Naziferatu’s wife definitely subscribes to.
It was not until I reached my 60s that I felt I was finally reasonable enough and possessed enough self-awareness and self-control that I might be able to properly raise a child. Of course, this late-in-life revelation only proved that my earlier decision to never have a child was correct.
The birth rate would go up if this country provided any fucking support for families. I bet if we had universal healthcare and childcare and functional family leave policies higher income white women would have more children. I have a college friend who specifically said that’s why she and her husband only had one child. We don’t because there’s no support and everything is too expensive.
I just read a story out of Oklahoma where an 11-year-old girl gave birth at home to a full-term baby. An "associate" of the family matches the DNA of the baby. Both the associate and the girl's mother have been arrested. They claim this petite child never showed her pregnancy and they had no idea. (Nearly impossible for this to be true). The girl was kept at home and away from anybody who would blow the whistle. The "mother" has 2 other younger children at home including a 9-year-old girl.
I still remember my mom telling me about when she was picking up something for my (first) wedding and when the woman who was helping her found out I was 28 she said, "Oh, an older bride!" My mom gave her the stink eye and said, "No, she's only 28."
I went on to wait until I was 33 to birth a child from my decrepit womb. I'm all for choice, but it is not easy raising children and few people are ready for that in their teens.
Shouldn't Katie OfStephen at least be happy that liberally-inclined women are waiting to have children, or not having them at all? I, for one, am ecstatic that my kids don't plan on reproducing. Not having grandchildren frees me from having to worry about things like the collapse of the AMOC and how inhospitable this planet will be to humanity in the next 70 years or so.
The right's obsession with teenage girls' fertility is fucking creepy. Remember when that was one of the supposed vaccine side effects they decided to get absolutely fixated on?
That was the fear that teens would become slutty sluts if they didn’t have fear of HPV. But if she gets married at 15 and is absolutely faithful to her husband, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?
I recently had an idea for an SnL type ad parody targeted towards well adjusted men who aspire to be undesirable creeps, and when we show off our teachers, do a montage of real life manosphere jerks
I was a wrinkled old crone of 37 when I had my son, after having wasted my youth going to university and getting a job. If only I had known how wrong I was not to get pregnant in High School.
In case there was any doubt left in your mind, this makes the fact that they are doing this because of racism unavoidable. If they were concerned about the population of the US being too low, all they'd have to do is accept more immigrants. Solve two birds with one cat.
I wonder if there's a way we could gently point out to them that more teen pregnancies will mean more babies that don't pass the paper bag test without us turning into racists ourselves. Y'know, give them room to demonstrate the absurdity of their positions.

Isn't that a heartwarming story.
Wasn't there some governmental statement, recent, quite recent, about returning civilization to the 'Stone Ages'? All of them?

Read this abstract. THESE are the guys of "marrying age"! https://www.unlv.edu/news/release/positive-views-tradwife-movement-linked-higher-levels-sexism-among-men?fbclid=IwY2xjawRODhtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFzdHBnZG1ENFJuU0p2dlhhc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHvx4rkRpDWp4KN-Y_qykxtD_Rbq5-kdXoQq5LSUhZgC3DYOkl2-rOBsqBn9F_aem_h1SzPqj7vJ5MzMlxk6R2Bg
And THAT is why a lot of women who are buying into the trad wife lifestyle find themselves in a horror show instead. :(

Nah.
Babies having babies, what could go wrong?
Can I be the 100th person in the comments to point out the Norman Rockwell AI picture is itself propaganda?
