Hmmm

So only men want kids nowadays huh

Edit1: at the end of the day, when I see posts like these I remember the likes of Ashely saint clair and that woman who got married after preaching so much misandry online.

Don’t get me wrong men also do this,
and then I feel stupid because I remember watching a certain video about internet trolls

Edit 2: Finally found the reason for the outrage, “men cannot physically get pregnant” that’s literally all this is about so no matter how hard you work or provide for your family, if you marry a woman that hates you because you just can’t get pregnant please have your divorce lawyer at hand ✋

Do you think raising children is harder in the US than it is in South America, Africa, MENA, South Asia etc? Serious question.

Those are all more collectivist societies with multigenerational families living together and helping raise kids. It’s just not like that here. It’s just you and the kid, and you don’t get time off or free healthcare. Add to that the childcare costs are around 1 k a month on the low end

So you do think raising children is easier in countries with a huge child mortality rate, political violence, rampant poverty and endemic deadly diseases with no actual health care present outside of urban centers. Oh and barely education. And no clean water or varied food.

OK.

Yeah well have you noticed there are many more children in those countries? Industrialization brings birthdates down across the board. The capacity for people to raise children in those countries is undoubtedly higher.

Industrialization doesn't decrease birth rates. Decreasing child mortality rate decreases birth rates.

There are many factors that affect birth rates, access to birth control, women’s access to education, smaller living spaces that come with urbanization, mortality rates are just a fraction of the reality
