One thing that shows that most of the keyboard warriors on here are completely divorced from reality is them blaming "muh falling birth-rates" entirely on feminism instead of things like inflation and corporate greed. I mean, I know why, because they want to blame women and not men in power, but if their perfect tradwife dropped into their lap tomorrow I'm betting you 99% of these idiots could not afford to feed her and 8 children on their own income alone.
Most women actually still want to have children (AndroidRaptor types are a vocal minority). A lot of mothers are depressed about having to go back to work and not staying with their children. They SIMPLY CAN NOT AFFORD IT. Especially in the US where there isn't even such a thing as maternity leave. If men were serious about wanting to raise the birth-rates they would make it easier for women to have children. They would advocate for cheaper childcare, for paid leave and idk... maybe use your big logical moidbrains to fix the fucking economy? They think if women just stopped being such evil feminists we would magically be transported back in time where a man with a construction job could buy a house, car and feed a wife and 4 kids.
Sorry boys, but you had your chance of that life and you ruined it by being absolute pieces of shit and treating women so badly that they had to revolt because 90% of men simply can not be trusted to be the sole breadwinner and protector of the family. Now we have to find a new way to do things and it seems you are entirely unwilling to compromise, so I guess your precious white man genes are just going to die out then. Abloo abloo about it some more.
It’s hilarious. They blame their inability to get ahead/provide on women being in the workplace (tell me you’re admitting that women are as good and better than you at your job without telling me), rather than on their own laziness and ineptitude.
“Ooh, we love the free market so so much and women are just leeches and ::record scratch:: what do you mean I actually have to compete against women?! A man just can’t get a break! White men are the most abused, downtrodden demographic in all of society. We were doing just fine until those pesky, meddling women came along. If only women (and Black people, and brown people) would just stay under my boot, I’d be doing just fine. In the olden days, a man didn’t have to try so hard and
everyone was my bros were happy, that’s the natural order of the universe - this is unfair!”
You can apply this thinking to any topic - jobs, child support, domestic violence, free license to rape at home, etc.
It boils down to: "these fucking cunts are LEARNING and not having my kids at 16 I DON'T WANT THAT".
I had started a reply to that loon, specifically on his and many others’ belief that there is a single right and correct role that women should be playing, but dropped it bc off-topic for that thread, but it was along these lines:
The problem: you arrogate to men the “natural” right to determine what women should study, know, and do, and what we are supposed to think is important and in what hierarchy. Every single women or all women on earth could agree with your particular hierarchy or “trad” hierarchies* (all day long , but it’s still none of your (all y’all’s) damn business, and your perspective still weighs less.

My parents have a 50+-year happy and productive marriage. My mother was a homemaker after having [worked in a traditionally female job] pre-pregnancy (they used to make you quit in the 7th month); my father was thereafter 100% breadwinner and has an advanced degree (my mother does not). They are conservative and traditional; my mother believes a husband/father is the head of the household (she is fortunate she got a wonderful man as a husband). My father is everything a man should be and never once took for granted the nightly homemade food on the table or the fact that he had freshly and expertly ironed clothes for every workday and business trip ready the night before.
And the very idea that he would have been threatened by the notion of my mother upping her education or pivoting to a career-type job when she decided to is laughable. Why? Because he is a true man. He doesn’t compete with my mother - and vice-versa - because he doesn’t have to. He might have worried for her (he is a worrier and protective), but would not ever have been threatened by any goals, interests, or achievements of hers. What a joke.
That’s what’s missing from all this gnashing of teeth: confidence that another person’s (women’s, or a woman’s) progress doesn’t mean your regress. True confidence, in the sense of self-respect and self-security, doesn’t zero-sum life, doesn’t bluster through it, doesn’t beat its chest when scared, doesn’t oppress in fear of competition. If you have to rule by iron fist or punching down, you’re just a brute, not a true leader.
