This is not some new feminist discovery, this is just patriarchy Do you understand that in your scenario the population only actually does rebound in one generation if that 10% of surviving men each impregnates 9x as many women, whether they like it or not https://twitter.com/redclaireopatra/status/1287225388792512512 …

Replying to @itstuff4 @EllieFragment
It is the direct logical implication of her celebration of the idea that the population would "bounce back" in her "almost all men die" fantasy

It barely even makes any sense to me, unless women in this scenario wanted to have many, many more children than they do now, for reasons related to nothing more than like, demographics?

er, wait, why doesn't it bounce back if they want to have the same number they do now? like, mathematically speaking, ignoring the argument that men would have to be coerced to impregnate them or whatever, same number of pregnancies means same size of next generation doesn't it?

Replying to @Random832 @mssilverstein and
I am acting on the presumption that most people who want to get pregnant don't just generically want to "have kids" but have some level of preference over who the sperm donor is and how it gets donated, often a strong preference

I mean yes I am aware that she's just referencing a genre of utopian radfem literature where the cultural concept of fatherhood is abolished and sperm is just a pharmaceutical you get from the hospital etc etc I find it unconvincing

It's just one more game of imaginary situations with imaginary people making imaginary decisions. You can get anything you want if you tweak the scenario enough.
