It is not just a gender wars that is an indicator of health. We have quantitative metrics correlating that the more modern a society is the slower the population grows. Negative population growth is an actuality, especially with Asia. If Americans didn’t have immigration we’d be going into the negative too. So immigration is a temporary reprieve. Overall the population of the world is going down, though so some countries are still going up (even with no immigration) like India.

The difference between modern society and the past is women have more power.

One theory is that Millions of years of evolution have conditioned the balance of power to be this way. So women gaining total equal rights is experimental and new in human civilization in general. Such changes in behavior cause unforeseen side effects even if those changes are morally correct. Population growth is one possibility here.

What changed is technology. Technology has enabled women to gain more power. It made life in Mother Nature easier by allowing women to operate on the same level as men. Things like greater strength and speed were no longer relevant because things like manual farming or manual hunting were no longer part of human life.

Once this happens the only barrier was culture and women easily fought for their rights and overcame it.

But the behavioral changes it enables like the tea app or tea on her app or gender wars is something we’ve never seen before.

The population is crashing and lowering and we don’t know why. There is a correlation between how modern a society is and how slow the population is growing. But is it causal?

Is it because women have changed their behavior so much? Although there is a correlation We don’t know for sure.

Qualitatively we do know that women date up. They want to date men who are more powerful and men they respect. But when they have greater choice in getting what they want (no arranged marriages in modern society) and when their own rising power makes the pool of available men who are more powerful than them much smaller… it seems that a possible logical conclusion is that more women will be willingly single and the population will shrink.

So humanity faces a dilemma. Do we go with biology or do we go with what’s morally right? Like if you look at India. The woman still lacks a huge amount of power but the population is expanding. The conditions in which women suffer under are horrible. They lack many freedoms and it’s not morally right. So it’s a hard question not only to answer but to face head on.

There is another freedom modern society enables that fully contributes to the problem as well. This freedom is enabling to both men and women and that is the freedom to fuck without having kids. Birth control. Another experiment in modern society.

China just needs to ban all forms of birth control and abortion and I’m very sure it will solve the population problem. But of course doing so banishes a basic human right that should be morally a universal human right.

I know tons of people disagree with me. And that’s fine. I posted here because I want to hear that disagreement and discuss it. I don’t want to start a gender war and the only way we can avoid that is to take stuff like this impartially. We need the freedom to criticize either gender, men and woman and not take it personally because real negative generalizations of either genders are real and those generalizations may very well be causing general macro impacts to society at large.
