Happened upon this one recently:

This study backs up several chud incel beliefs, most notably:
-
Men who make more money are more likely to attract women and, subsequently, more likely to have children (or get baby trapped)
-
Women who make more money have higher self-imposed standards, making finding a mate more difficult (plus they only spend on themselves)
Therefore: "fixing the economy" will not meaningfully increase births unless women are excluded from any direct improvements.
Put another way: the only way to fix birthrates is to discourage female participation in education and the workforce. That's why dirt poor religious third worlders are having loads of children and socially progressive peoples of all economic levels are having none.
There is no reality in which women spend 80% of their fertility window actively not having children and birthrates do not collapse.
Edit to complete my thought: feminism only increases "freedom" for girls and women for a limited number of generations before collapsing the birthrate. At that point, the total number of "free" girls and women declines towards zero - because only "oppressive patriarchies" are generating children.
Embracing feminism is tantamount to consuming the seed corn. Women are choosing a few generations of fun over the survival of their own peoples, cultures, and species.
Women use joint custody to hold kids hostage and extort more control over the ex husband. That's why men abandon their kids after divorce, because it's the only way to break the woman's control. 50/50 custody is a trap. You won't get rid of child support as long as you allow it.

Men can give up custody then if at 50/50 custody, the women are trying to control the men and not pay child support. If we have the power to get rid of child support in any regard then we'll be able to get rid of it regardless of joint custody. I just don't see how giving men 100% custody makes things better. It's pretty unfair to the women and I say that as a pretty "not caring about woman" kind of guy. With 80% lower taxes and 80% less government spending, we'd see far less women abandon their husbands such that this wouldn't matter much.
