You’re right; they aren’t succeeding in trying to shame young men into marriage. Thanks to a half century of leftist propaganda, the very concept of marriage is regarded as obsolete.
Unfortunately most people who still view sex in that context are Muslim; technology thankfully has made it easier than ever to find like-minded potential mates online, though I don’t know much about that (whether it works or not).
We are encouraged by the young families in our church with four or more children being brought up in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4). Many of them are being home schooled. That will be a blessing to our country.
Search for ‘Amish population boom.’

Pre-born genocidal propaganda, feminism, male-hating, and what is it with kids being too expensive? Explain this to me? Not willing to adjust the budget? Put multiple kids in a bedroom? Seriously. Explain it to me how the average family cannot afford 3 or 4 children.
Western Europe has been desperately trying to bring families back for decades; people simply don’t want the burdens and responsibilities of families. Like Western Europe, economic insecurity is a big driver of this.
Toxic incentive patterns can be reversed...
Doing my part also; five children, all healthy and active.
My best friend in Texas, near Ft Hood has 18. Yes, 18, from one mom. 17 of them are active, smart, and going to be a great addition to whatever community and place they end up. My Africn friends go totally crazy when I show them this.
Generally, the more prosperous the country, the lower the birthrate. There are many reasons for it, but the idea that a country must have an ever increasing population to have a viable economy, just doesn't comport with the facts.
Again, Western Europe has been trying unsuccessfully for decades; when government policies meet leftist atheism propagated by “mainstream culture”, the government loses.
“There are many reasons for it, but the idea that a country must have an ever increasing population to have a viable economy, just doesn’t comport with the facts. “
It’s not that advanced nations with low birthrates will not have a viable economy, it’s that they will be out-competed by other cultures on their own land. It is the Christian, capitalist culture that made the West grow and prosper. Cultures that come from Africa and the Middle East are failed because they don’t have the background that enables them to flourish once they come to the West. Instead, they live in unassimilated no-go zones. What happens when the native Western culture dies out? The nation is irrevocably changed. Take England, for example. As the Muslim mayor of London said, “Terrorism is the new normal. Get used to it.” (Oh, the joys of diversity, eh?)
The 1965 Immigration Act changed the demography of the US forever. Non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population in 2043, down from the current 63% and 89% in 1970. By 2023 the percentage of foreign born will be the highest in our history. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Democrat. The status quo on legal immigration will make the Dems the permanent majority party within a decade.

Certainly not by me. I don’t have the slightest desire to have kids...never have, never will.
Russia reversed its declining birth rates from 1.5 up to roughly 2.0. This did this by no longer incentivizing abortion and encouraging a culture of life.
The nation of Georgia did so through a deliberate pro-life message of its religious leader, and he personally became the god-father of all third and later children born in the small country. Their birth rate is up despite a decline in illegitimate births.
Conversely, government inducements do NOT work. Nations with the most expensive perks from a year of parental leave to cash for kids don’t see a real spike in birth rates, simply accelerated arrivals of planned first and second children. The more they spend as a percentage of GDP, the lower the birth rate because, overall, the high tax rate and regulatory environment discourages large families.
This is why the MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) movement is gaining traction. It is the direct response by men to being pushed too far by feminists and a legal system that favors women over men, often destroying men's lives based solely on the word of the woman.
I think it was Gloria Steinem who said, "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." Well, men are now saying that if a woman doesn't need a man, then perhaps it's time for her learn to swim on her own or sink to the bottom.
No. The education system. Feminism. The extreme advantage a woman has in court against a man. The education system guarantees that nothing can change so long as public schools exist. There is no possibility of improvement there. The left owns the teachers colleges. We are a feminine society in that females control the direction even if men are at the top politically. They are answerable ultimately to women.
