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…

I agree with pretty much everything except contraceptives being readily available as that's all down to a personal choice rather than any kind of enforced culture.
The problem I have with the tradcons and their cringe solutions is they think they can solve this by waving a wand and magically banning specific things and then all of their problems will be solved. No, it's about culture and cultural change.
Say what you will about the leftists but they had the calculating patience required to up end centuries worth of tradition of western culture and fuck over entire generations of people. Is it a bad thing? Yes, doesn't mean I can't admire the efficiency of it all.
Meanwhile what do the fucking tradcon 'right wingers' do? They bitch about porn, video games and anime non-stop. They blame men for the problems when most of us aren't the problem and would happily get married with some even vaguely cute girl as long as she was nice and supportive because our standards collectively are that fucking low.
As for the concept of marriage itself, don't get me started on that because I come from the MRA perspective and the tradcons have done fucking nothing to make life better for men when it comes to maintaining the nuclear family and dealing with the issue of false accusations especially. They just pretty much act like men have to suck it up and go and stick with a woman regardless of her attitude even if everyone knows including him she's going to stab him in the back 10 years down the line when she gets a baby.
I mean the fact that there were tradcons actually dancing around and celebrating online banning pornhub when that's not even what actually happened on the tech end tells me everything I need to know about people who believe this shit works. Wow you banned pornhub you fucking boomers, I guess zoomers will just have to go to the 20+ other major sites out there to get their porn.
Oh, it’s not that I have a problem with contraceptives per se - it’s that contraceptives being pushed led, with very clear correlation, to “free love” and the death of monogamy, which is how… We get to today.
“Consequence-free” sex has been utterly corrosive to the stability of most of the West, and has totally destroyed gender relations…
It’s more complicated than that, of course, but contraceptives played a massive part in that, unfortunately (imho, but also factually)…
"Tradcons" a are mostly neoliberal shills. They are actually too pre-occupied with the culture instead of policy.
