I actually think this is the driving force between abortion bans, policing of women’s words with regard to their sex and the fact that even the democrats are having weak responses to the abortion bans, tells me they are working for their capitalist overlords. There is no reason to erase females unless you want to take their right away to control their own bodies. It’s why big corporations are so quick to adopt female erasing language. It’s why states like Washington will pay for maternity care but not child care. Because they want to make you into a baby making machine again. It’s the reason why big fortune 50 companies were giving 6 months of full paid maternity leave. It’s not to “attract women talent”, it’s to make us into incubators because once those women tried to come back they were fired for performance reasons. I’ve worked at several big name companies and it’s the same playbook. Their maternity leave initiatives are not a “win for feminism”. It’s a win for patriarchy. If they really cared about feminism, they would pay for childcare and make it free and pay women their fair share in terms of wage and earnings not to mention the vast amount of unpaid work women do.

Capitalism relies on young people to work long hours and burn themselves out. Older more jaded people are less likely to be controlled and don’t produce as much. When a population ages, the money making machine doesn’t produce as much. And that’s not good for stocks. How will they be able to afford their 5th yacht if you don’t sacrifice your weekend?
