Just imagine. The entire modern economy, pretty much anywhere, but certainly in any “Western” nation, is now based on the idea that everyone male and female, works full time…
Universities have become wholly female-dominated. So have many, many professional fields. Most workplaces cater to the wants of middle-class women. So does most government messaging. So does the entire “field” of HR and recruiting…
At the same time, birth rates are crashing to totally unsustainable levels. Children aren’t raised properly at all, and are shipped off to “childcare” or to older relatives, as early as possible. Parents no longer no, or care, how to raise kids.
Cook for your family? Congrats, you’re an outlier. Most people seem to view cooking as some sort of “luxury”, and instead base most meals on either frozen shit, or takeaway and deliver, depending on their background…
Marriage is broken, and hell, most millennials don’t even bother with it. Divorces are higher than ever, and many couples barely even see, or talk to, each other, let alone their kids, anymore. So many kids are from broken homes, now, whatever their background or race…
Yet jobs are still flying offshore (never mind automation. It’s not there yet), and immigrants are still piling in to every Western country, partly to keep the birth rates up, and partly to keep house prices and rents ever increasing… Oh, and to push wages down, of course.
This, despite more “locals” working than ever before. This, despite women demanding ever more catering to from corporate, and all of the “equity” bullshit…
There’s no way any of this is sustainable, and yet it is everywhere… In every single “developed” country.
Some people here like to talk about Russia, but christ, look at their birth rates. Look at China, too. It’s not just “American allies and adjacents” that this is affecting. It’s almost everywhere, with a few very notable exceptions…
Amazing to think that “women's rights” and runaway corporatism, plus unlimited contraceptives (arguably) may be what dooms us, let alone all the trans kids raised on hormones shit…
I would say that maybe some parts of humanity can still correct this ship, but I’m not so sure anymore…
I doubt even in 1980 people would have thought that fucking Nigeria and India would inherit the Earth, but here we are…

Supreme missive from the 'boozler.
As an ~older woman who has seen 50 years of feminism run off the rails ... something deep got hijacked from women and they were told they were more liberated without it. Who doesn't want to be liberated?
It coincides with the decline of the Christian church if you ask me.
Yeah, I think that’s part of it, indeed…
That and the idea of “nuclear families” in general being rapidly lost in that timeframe, but that may be a “chicken and egg” thing…
It is interesting, in a sense, that there is no real “predictable commonality” across countries in this regard.
Like, Italy, Spain and Poland are all very Catholic, but only one of the three is yet to fall into a demographic abyss… Meanwhile Malta, despite high emigration, manages to not be quite so screwed, because it is more Catholic than Rome…
And then Poland contrasts with most post-Communist states, too, probably 90% of which are also more immediately demographically screwed…
Only Poland and Hungary seem to be bucking that trend (in Europe)…
Dunno. I have no solutions, only observations…
Hopefully this isn’t the last thing I manage to post. 🤷🏻♂️
Catholic people are the minority, regardless of baptism statistics. People don't live like Catholics.
"nuclear families" were in fact a degenerated version of the extended families and regional connections that used to be the basis of culture. America was an outlier, since the european stock all immigrated here, but going back further good breeding and family reputations mattered.
The atomization allowed by industrial society (and encouraged by communists) has had disastrous consequences.

Good breeding was already degenerated and most of the "good" breed were retarded nitwits
The way I see it, feminism was the reproachful cry of women demanding to be able to sink as low as men always have. Classically, men would get drunk and go to brothels leaving their wives with no recourse. I'm not blaming men for women's actions, I'm just explaining how we got here. No women would've cared to get the vote if their husbands were decent. Think about it: Can anyone imagine a worse situation than to be subject to the good graces of men?
I do agree that all societal issues stem from abandoning God.
This is a much needed observation. Before 2nd wave feminism kicked into gear, the sexual revolution/free love era could be great for the average man. You could get with the girls you wanted and ditch them, and being male, you carry less emotional baggage. Pregnancy? Abort post-Roe or just go deadbeat. If you were ready to settle down, you could own a house on a factory operator salary thanks to wages carrying much more value.
Women themselves were clearly tougher in the 60s-70s than today, but we are facing today's issues because this state of affairs just can't continue. One sex can't have carte blanche to lay pipe as long as they want while the other sex either gets pregnant or turns into an unfulfilled whore. The damage to pair bonding also impacts men just as much as women, leading to the catastrophic divorce rate, leading to a plague of broken kids raised by single mothers and trooning out.
The rules of chastity are ordained by God and sadly, we are finding out over decades what happens when you break those rules.
Well said.
I can. How about being subject to the good graces of women like any man who got married or had kids? There are a million different ways for spiteful whores to game the family courts and zero protections for men.
Men weren't decent because the women weren't decent. Women treated their husbands like shit and men drank themselves to death because of how shit their life was being forced to stay married to a fat cow that nagged them nonstop.
The fault of our problems are about 90% women and 10% men.
You’ve just made up a bunch of unfalsifiable nonsense here.
Just like the guy I was replying to.
