(2,722 posts)Women will give up men before they ever give up their economic independence. Many men don't do squat around the house, and more and more women are waking up and not bothering with relationships, marriage, or family life with them. They know partnering with a man means they will get dumped on and inevitably get dumped, period.
It is not possible the 1950s will ever return. For women, they were shit anyway, stuck with a pile of kids and no way out of their misery because there was widespread discrimination in the workplace. Most important, there isn't the level of unionization and "family wage" jobs (read male-only, overpaid jobs) there was back then. Women's labor force participation is essential to the economy.
Birthrates are declining all across the board, not just with white women. It is a worldwide trend. Ben Wattenberg sold people a pile of shit with his bullshit tome, The Birth Dearth. There is no pendulum swing ever to go back to big families. Women didn't choose them--they were forced to have too many kids they didn't want. Big families are not compatible with women's rights.
There is even a movement afoot of single women with no children seeking and getting sterilized in anticipation of a complete ban on legal abortion.
MRAs like J.D. Vance will never see a return to an era that was pure hell for women.
