(Like look if you see raising the bar for men as making progress we *have made progress* The expectation that an "action hero" be totally visibly shredded with near-0% body fat is a new thing that developed over the course of my lifetime)

Well someone has to bear the cost of children in society, and today, since we don't have child labor, children are costly. There's no way to get around it. If you're looking at this from a cost/benefit analysis humanity simply goes extinct.

Yeah, well... that's what's happening, by the numbers, so hey Probably someone's gotta do something but the scolding op-eds definitely aren't going to be what does it

One solution would be to have fewer people have children, but those that do have children have a lot and get a lot of support for doing so. So 90% of people don’t have children and 10% get paid full time to raise nine children each.

While that solves one big problem for the parents, it unfortunately opens the door to another problem: Eugenics.

Do it like Germany does. We call it "Elternzeit" and any of the parents can take that time off or share the time off after the child is born. Also there is free daycare for everyone so you are not fucked after that Elternzeit period. It's not perfect but still miles better.

More adults raising kids in the same household is the real solution, but that's not common here. It could be multiple generations, or siblings and their mates, or friends. We're friends with a throuple, and just having one more person to parent changes everything.
