Even during the Great Depression, the birth rate was above replacement.

More women in the United States have no children now than at any other time since the U.S. Census Bureau began keeping records in 1976. An average of nearly half, 47.6 percent, of women between the ages of 15 and 44 did not have children in 2014, up from 46.5 percent in 2012, according to the Census Bureau. The average of women without children between the ages of 15 to 44 in 1976 was 35.1 percent.
The general fertility rate in the United States fell for its sixth straight year in 2013. It stands at 1.86, according to The New York Times. A fertility rate of 2.1 is required to have a stable U.S. population.

I apologize - I mistakenly thought your post I answered was the first in this conversation.
I did give your answer some thought. Hostile females can expect to be alone.
Now you can answer mine with some serious thought. Do you expect that a beta male should wait until his potential mate is past child bearing years to marry or should it be expected that he would marry a women with children, knowing full well that the chances of having his own child are minimal because she has had her children. I ask because you seemed dismissive of an American male going outside his country to marry and you were also made it out that his satisfying his needs in a non-criminal way was also wrong.
If this person were your brother, what would you tell him?
Laz has got this one, me thinks.
That’s ok. I’m not a hostile person, even when the other person is hostile. I will cut to the chase and get straight to the point.
Looks like there’ll be more Mormons than Baptists.
People in red states understand what it takes to live within their means. California just breeds dreamers that understand what it takes to live off other people's means.
Sorry to offend you “cherry” . That was my point.
Welfare states have mitigated the consequences of having more children than a person can afford. In fact, lifetime recipients of welfare often have figured out how to game the system to maximize their opportunities in the system, including popping children out like rabbits.
Hey! I saw that movie too!
They’re libtard women, that’s why.
Flyover states aren't doing as well economically due to the decline of manufacturing in America. SF Bay Area is benefiting from the tech boom, and Utah, well, Mormons tend to be well educated and entrepreneurial.
Huh? Think you meant this for someone else, no?
My post only spoke to the feminization of the American male as part of a greater cultural shift that has been more manufactured(hollywood)than evolutionary based(as the progressives would like you to believe).
The power/influence of progressive media/academia cannot be dismissed when discussing the erosion of the culture as a whole, in fact, it has been the biggest single factor in my opinion in swaying young minds-of-mush against traditional norms.
Even during the Great Depression, the birth rate was above replacement.
In ancient America, the Incas and Aztecs sacrificed people to their gods by cutting out their beating hearts. Today, we “enlightened” Americans consider that repulsive. In the 20th Century, the Nazis killed millions of people because they were considered genetically inferior. And we Americans consider that repulsive.
One hundred or two hundred years from now, our descendants will look back on this era and consider us repulsive for all the babies that America has murdered since Roe v Wade, for nothing more than the sake of “convenience”. It hurts my soul.
I’ve heard someone say that we value sheet rock more than children. The average size of homes keeps increasing while the average family size keeps decreasing.
When people comment on our family size it generally is about the cost. We have a small home and a what I consider to be medium sized family (six kids). The people who are acquaintances and ask this generally have a bigger, newer house and much more material possessions.
People tend to invest in what they value.
We believe that people are more important than things. After all, people are the only thing that you will also have for eternity in heaven.
You'd be surprised at how off the mark your statement is. I see lots of babies and children here in California, and most of the ones I see have parents that are middle class. These people have the means, and they are having children. All the shopping areas and playground parks around SF are full of them, and these people are dropping big bucks on their children. True, some of them may be overindulging and spending beyond their means, but it is their means and not welfare. There are a lot of jobs here and the workers are having children. Which is a nice thing, compared to a few decades ago when they were shutting down schools; now they're building new schools for them.
If that percentage of childless women are FemiNazis that is fine with me!
Thanks for that great essay. I had read it before but it is good to re-read every so often, so that we remember that the deconstruction of America is not happenstance or an accident, but was very well orchestrated by specific groups for specific purposes.
Or there just aren’t any men to be had ...
Just a lot of boys and jackasses, looking for women to support them.
Glowbull Warming strikes again!
