It's bizarre how women have been conditioned to value office work. Of course I'm surrounded by them, since I work in an office, and it's obvious they feel profoundly fulfilled by what we're doing... which is frankly not much, but you wouldn't know it from the shrill laughter that echoes through the cubicle farm.

I, on the other hand, feel a deep emptiness here, and that's at a lot more than $60,000/year twice. I would not miss any of it if it went away but I can tell the women would.

In many ways, it's for the best. She would have been a terrible mother and would have raised a terrible child.

However, the father should have beat that mother into submission and been more of a man than a poof.

I've helped raise two people from useless little children to somewhat less useless adults, I have great faith that in time their utility will only increase. It wasn't that hard.

congrats, but it's not like that for the vast majority. People can't afford it anymore, that why you see less people get married and start a family.

People spend that money on their pets now instead of their kids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do agree with you that raising kids is difficult. And I don't call sticking your kids in front of an iPad or on YouTube when they aren't in public schools good parenting.

but I don't agree that somehow people have been priced out of children or marriage. Money is always an issue, even if you have millions of dollars.. but for most county courthouse weddings, it's still 50$.

Likewise, most mothers usually can breast feed for the time it is needed, ironic that most choose to purchase food for their kids at such an important stage of life as this, but it is what it is.

No, for a majority, It has more to do with the value system and culture of the people now. When you nihilistically put self and your own pleasure and well being above everything else, it's easy to see why someone would choose abortions and porn as to not interfere with European backpacking trips, selfies and ladies club nights while men choose Chaturbate and video games rather seek meaningful lives.

That's not how they do abortions, who even drew that image, some old White dude?

Imagine having a government that floods a country with unvetted illegal immigrants and then makes it illegal to get rid of the rape babies that follow. Progress.
