    Oh come on, it’s a #notallmen moment. Lol

    When people say “stop having kids”, what they mean is stop having unplanned pregnancies. I don’t think that many people want our literal extinction.

      I understand that, I’m very aware that my reaction is emotional and subjective. I’m just sick of reading that sentence over and over and over again.

      I wish all people would stop having kids. I am all for the voluntary human extinction movement. A very key word is voluntary though, which really just makes it an ideology.

          You don’t have to. Turns out, when you give women the option to not shove a watermelon-sized object through their hoohaws at an age when they’re not ready for it, many of them opt not to!

            And yet, people did not stop having babies, which is what the person that started this thread asked people for.

          Curiously, it worked too well. China is now desperately offering incentives to get people to have more children.

          (Okay, I’m just being glib. It’s not clear whether it was the one-child policy that was responsible for the birth-rate crash.)

            It’s a reasonable explanation. But China is still one of the most populated contries on Earth.

      People can do all that, but you will still have population growth and climate change, which you want to fix. That, and an aging population. How about we stop for advocating for known non-solutions and fix the actual problem already?
