(2,555 posts)ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is more important than being an excellent mother. Yes, I am a radically strong feminist - and male.
By definition, women have a greater share of child rearing, and women`s reaction these days is that they do not want to do any more of it, with the result that fertility rates around the world are falling - except in Africa and some Islamic countries. Men are not able to carry their share of the daily work load, and generally do not want to do so.
Having done a quite fair bit of work on demographics over time, I was a little surprised to learn that the most genetically diverse society - Africa - will generate about 75% of the world`s births over the next 50 years - I checked the data. Already, Africa has about as many births as Asia from east of India (Africa, India and China have the same populations of 1.4bn, except Africa has 46m births per year, India about 23m, and China at 9m). Even India is now down to about replacement rate on population growth at about 2.1 on a fertility rate.
Really, people should look at global population trends - it is truly fascinating, and women will eventually get to decide most issues.
