Further..lastly:

I think ‘women going to work will reduce population’ is basically a ploy to boost work force. Historical data shows that this isn’t the case.

There is also support for women in the workforce to avail more maternity leave and in some richer countries, even perks like in-vitro and freezing eggs as women choose to have children later.

These are high risk and expensive procedures that are available to just a small section of chosen population. This is not a population management policy but has an socio-economic agenda.

In my opinion, there has been NO true efforts to determine population studies and management. Whatever we have now is murky and seems to have the stated goal of population studies, but really have to do with world economics.

But population is more about resources and resource management.

We are in the middle of the sixth extinction event. As a super apex predator, we depend on the planet’s underlying ecosystem..marine, terrestrial and others to survive. What this means is that..we depend on soil health, insect populations, ocean acidification and natural resources to survive because we cannot synthesise our own food or evolve to survive in a tough environment(unlike bacteria or virus etc)

For example, in Ag..we are running out of phosphorus. We can’t grow food without phosphorus. It is a limited resource and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Ag depends on phosphorus that is largely mined and non renewable. Overuse of fertilizers and mining has depleted our reserve of phosphorus. Another example is the mass disappearance of insect populations. It throws light and warns us about what is happening to our eco system. Ditto with amphibian health as they live both on water and land. Marine health etc ..I could go on.

The big picture shows us that as a super apex predator, we are losing the foundational ecosystem and resources needed to survive on this planet because of our sheer number. It’s like sitting high on a tree and sawing away the trunk we are sitting on.. Unless we massively reduce population in a meaningful and significant way to get back to carrying capacity(500 million to a floating 2 billion), we won’t survive as a species.

We now have technology to assure that we don’t have to become extinct. We can live longer and healthier and may even age slower. We can even clone ourselves and tinker with our DNA. There is no need for hit and miss large volume mutation strewn population boosting attempts.

The male sexual apparatus and reproductive system is a source of bodily fluids like any other..like saliva or mucus etc. it is self renewing and copious. The female reproductive system is much more complicated machinery. There are so many engineers here. Imagine you have a machine and to control its optimum performance, would you go after the easiest and least risky fix or break it down to the innards to tinker with the most expensive and complex design?

Our bodies are machines. Our sexual instincts = code. Our species’ procreation is the result of code working on machines. Female sexuality is dependent on code and can’t function without it. Male sexuality is mechanical. Social, cultural and political legislation and rules are akin to feelings. Separate ‘feelings’ from mechanics. They have no place in the big picture if we want to survive as a species.
