Men aren’t doing the converting on their own, female hypergamy is doing the heavy lifting here.

If I'm reading it correctly, women who seek personal advancement not only are less likely to reproduce, but they also make it less likely that lower-status men will reproduce. And that's where the decline comes from, despite continued reproductive success by high status men.

There has also been a decline in psychological well-being, an increase in anxiety and depression, among men and women, but especially among women. It would be interesting to see those numbers broken down by economics, education and sex.

Male property interests in the bodies and children of women. Move outside of the patrilineal paradigm and you ask different questions of the data.

"Ignore biology and the facts won't look like they contradict what you wish was true"

A lot of people are not able to interpret articles like that. 1) Having more children is not an advantage for a woman 2) Women tend to choose men with higher income and status because that's the best criteria to choose a male. Making sure he has something to offer. Biology.

On the next edition of "Who Gives A Shit"...

A lot of people apparently, because that could be a component of the so called "wage gap", ie men have very important reasons to make more money/status.

Well, the text above explains why it is horse shit, if you care to read it.

My comment was not to dispute. It was to comment on how no one should care. Can we talk about something important for once?!?!

Regardless how successful you are, as a woman you a) have only one womb. b) will still be excepted to sacrifice more of your time on the child, than a man would

This means that 1) your reproductive ability is not significantly enhanced by access to more resources. 2) reproducing hampers further success and may erode the success you already have made.

(Note, the physical and social cost of having a child also may work as a general deterrent to having one. Regardless of a woman’s success or lack of.)

Contrary to what womens' magazines tell you, you CANNOT have it all. If you want executive roles you must make a choice. Men also have to make the same choice.

DegenRolf’s tweet indicate that, no; men *don’t* have to make the same choice. However, beyond the biological part of pregnancy and birth, there is really no reason the choice *shouldn’t* be the same.

In a society of true equal opportunity (not outcome, just opportunity) - the choice would be and mean the same for both genders.

Men cannot carry children. They do not have the opportunity, therefore such a society cannot exist unless there are no men. This is what the feminists want.

No. It means in an equal society the societal expectations of men and women would be the same with regards to children/career. Neither would have an advantage/disadvantage in either direction. That is what “feminism” wants.
