Feminism May Lead To The Extinction Of Humanity

in #life7 years ago

Feminism May Lead to extinction of man kind if current research is to be believed. The number of children being born in most Western countries, is now below replacement levels (this includes the U.S., Germany, Japan and Australia). This is concerning as declines in the population will also lead to significant cut backs for public welfare programs as labor shortages increase. Feminism has encouraged women to leave the home and become career women however, it has also led to fewer men choosing to marry the modern liberated woman, with many women now choosing to freeze their eggs at age 35 as they are unable to find a suitable partner.

Lol dont you think its a bit to much? The end of humanity. I just posted an article about humanity, we will be more than 9 500 000 000 in 2050, even with feminism.

Think quality over quantity. While populations in countries such as Africa are set to explode, most of the population is literally happening only in developing (and third world) countries. Western countries are seeing massive declines in population. You could think of the population growth in developing countries, as the boom before the burst. Without developed countries leading the way, disease and socio-economic issues likely plague the rest of the world which will eventually lead to massive decline of populations and eventual extinction.

I think feminism is not the main cause of lower birth rates in Western countries, but the loss of purchasing power and increase of economic uncertainty about being fired or getting a salary cut.

The global balance is an incredible growth of human population, that puts in risk supply of food and other resources.

That's a very insightful way to look at it, you could however argue that decreased purchasing power comes at the price of women's liberation, which doubled the workforce and actually helped to drive wages down. Even many second wave feminist are distancing themselves from modern day feminism, which is increasingly telling.
