Population control ping...
Ya think?
How many Jihadists are married, other than the leadership.
Yeah, yeah—cry me a river. With over 1.2 billion people, I think China could use a population “bust” for a few decades. Market forces will soon kick in to make girls very desirable (if they have not already).
Of course, the problem is what to do with all those excess guys in the short term. I suspect they will make excellent cannon fodder.
We’re going to see wars the likes of which the world hasn’t seen in 1000’s of years.
Invasion of another country for the sole purpose of stealing their women.
The invaded country’s men, unneeded, will be killed.
I’ve read that Russia has the opposite problem...
Lots of long-living women... not so many healthy men
Still sounds like a sex trade to me, just of a different variety.

THe problem here is that humanity has a short memory in the aggregate. In the not all that distant past there was a chronic shortage of females in virtually every society on Earth. This occurred because of a high maternal death rate. Modern medical practices have virtually eliminated this category of death except in the most isolated and primitive areas.
So, what was normal society like when women were in short supply? Well, you had your whorehouses ~ yup ~ everybody did. Lots of 'em, mostly within easy walking distance of major residential districts.
A small percentage of women provided sexual services to a large percentage of the men.
Other women were pretty much isolated from the world at large ~ those veils, shawls and large bag-like dresses meant something in Germany, France, Iran, China and major trade cities in the Inca Empire. Wealthy men might even acquire more than one wife and keep them in purdah.
China will probably revert to the more traditional system as the disparity grows.
Just think how terrified the sheep are.
I am not exactly sitting here patiently awaiting my fate as a “spoil of war” as a woman of the USA.
I don’t know all that many women of Indian (the country) heritage, but those I did meet are not passive victims either.
Where will all those “extra” men find women open to marriage via forced rape and pillage, nowadays?
Perhaps China will be forced to look to the Islamic middle east to locate a productive “war venue” with any possibility of actual gain.
Think about it....
With all due respect, get bent.
market forces? ummmm welcome to china.
With all due respect, get bent.
With all due respect, you need to chill out. If this is your reaction to a post that is neither obscene or malicious, then maybe you should look elsewhere—like the Daily KOS.
Save your moral outrage for someone who's going to buy your crap. Oh, and please get bent.
Yeah, they live in a country where they can kill their kid and get away with it, but he’s expecting nice, civilized market forces to take care of the problem. Yeesh.
Yeah, yeah-—whatever. Deal with it.
