Me too. It's not only men who have wild oats to sow.
But the solution can't be to force women into breeding. That's worse than the problem. And akin to the worst values from elsewhere in world

I am writing something at the moment abt the potential problem of mass immigration to British secular, liberal democracy but values vary.
-
That's true, but the British character is irrevocably changed regardless. Educated women less likely to have children. Can't be good.
-
Not ideal but I don't see a solution unless it were for men to take on half of the childcare & flexible, reduced hours etc.
-
That might make women with intellectual passions & ambition more willing to have more children. If it didn't have to prevent them doing that
-
Yes, but you are assuming men want that. Two way street. Both 'independent' now.
-
No, I'm not. I'm floating hypotheticals. Men or women who want to stabilise the population could sacrifice their career goals.
-
But I think in reality, most won't. They'll pursue their own goals anyway. But sometimes think it's only women who shld sacrifice goals.
-
Assuming women's goals line up with men's. Women have more options in the mating game. Not about sacrifice but reality

Of course not. Women had no problem 'breeding' in the past. They weren't forced. Sexual market place has changed the dynamics
-
Contraception has and more opportunities for women. I wouldn't want to turn that back.
-
Combined with economics and technology. But, we can't continue as is
-
We'd want it to stabilise eventually, yes, but individuals shouldn't have to sacrifice the goals of their one lives for big stabilising plan
-
True, but it's not about 'should' but about observation. Independence may not be good on societal level
-
It might not, no, and we can leave it as an observation or talk about whether anything should be done to fix it & ethics of that.
