Women have gotten exactly what they wanted in the West. It’s the world they asked for. Now everyone has to work for the large corporations/machine and is married to it. Men and women both have to work just to give a child advantages in life.

That’s how you and me feel about it. That’s not how this younger generation especially of young women feel about it.

The younger generations are not having children in their most fertile years.
By the time they "have a career" or "have their fun" the men that are available to them are not children-minded
The truth is they should be doing the opposite.
You can put off career for kids, then start up your career in your 40's and do all the things you thought for which you needed to be "kid free"
Girls are being sold bullshite.
And we sold it to them

Just ask them why they don’t want to have kids when they are in their 20s.
Society has told them to put it off, live for themselves, etc.
This is both men and women, but women are more impacted biologically.

Removes workers from the pool, which would likely increase wages.

Provided their husband puts back enough to provide for them in old age during his 20s, this works. Can’t buy back two early decades when it comes to compound interest.

That’s true and a good provider would ensure their potential widow and/or children are cared for if/when something happens. Poverty disproportionately impacts elderly women at least in part due to this not being the case for those who gave up a decade or more to child rearing. I say this as the husband of a wife who only worked sparingly outside the house for 15 years of our childrens upbringing.

In the spirit of the Hippie fella, Neil Young spoke wisdom:
It doesn’t mean that much to me to me that much to you - A great song lyric that many people should use. In this context, quit worrying about how others view you. Quit performing life for selfies. Live your life. YOUR way.
Care for others! Belong where it matters (family, friends, work). But never give up your person and locus of control.

He's not wrong in the beginning, but like every other dirty hippy, the argument always comes around to a desire for more government control.

When I was young, I felt insightful because I looked at internet around the AOL times and thought "this is going to turn out bad for us". It's certainly got its benefits, but the aspects of humanity i was referring to? Yeah. I actually really underestimated what it would do.

He's got long hair, but I don't see any evidence of him being dirty or a hippie.

He looks pretty rough for 30, especially considering he doesn’t have to raise kids. Guess all that time worrying about being recorded has taken its toll.
