When this editorial came out a few days ago, I decided to cancel my WaPo subscription as the straw that broke the camel's back. I have been a subscriber for years, but I cannot deal with this ridiculous agenda they are pushing over and over again. Marriage isn't a default good thing. People should choose if they want to be married or not. If the institution is failing because women are making a feminist choice to take care of themselves, let it fail. They push this line over and over again and as someone who divorced a bad male partner, it's NOT OK.
But the birth rate is declining! Capitalism needs ever more workers or the profits might dip! Just hold your nose and date a maga creep. Do it for America!
Yeah, literal Nazi ideology. Treating women as brood mares to make sure your toxic ideology can continue.
On no! You can't call them Nazis or fascists or they'll become Nazis and fascists out of spite!
(If I had a dollar for every time I had that convo...)
Oh it's not ideological per se. They just want the labor force to produce more labor units. That's just business.
This is one of those things that really is interesting about the labor and capitalistic ideal that we have to have more people to keep the economy going. There are LOTS of people willing to do the low end parts of the economy but that means we have to accept that the color of the average American will get darker.
Basically they want their cake and to eat it too.
