re: Why aren't white people having kids anymore?

Female doctors earn about half of what male doctors earn career wise. Know why? They quit practice MUCH earlier than men.

To have kids?

I’m sure it’s a variety of the reasons which have already been stated, like anything else.

But it is a problem.

quote:

White women are pricing themselves out of marriage because they're one of the most educated and highest earning demographic in an economy completely catered to women which is reducing the utility of men for their security.

I agree with this. White women want all the money and power, but none of the responsibility. Once upon a time women would be applauded for working and it was easy to gain notoriety in a male dominated society. Women still were able to maintain gender roles despite their rise in the job market, now everything has adjusted and men have grown up seeing women offered all the same opportunities they have had, but even more in many cases.

They still want to project the traditional image of a woman ON TOP of her career achievements. They refuse to "marry down".

Hell, even women who have little to no career accomplishments want men far above their level today.

We had one at 27, and stopped there. She's hell on wheels.

Plus, I'll be 45 when she goes off to college and have 30 years to travel.

Many of us delay having kids until we have achieved financial stability.

Because white people have to actually pay to raise their children. Don’t make me say the rest.

This.

And its racist to procreate the white race in the eyes of your average Democrat.

And if they do have them, seem to be waiting till their mid to late thirties and have one or maybe two at the most.

Many factors involved in the decline but I would argue the destruction of the traditional family is the cause. I watched this trend (couples simply hooking up and avoiding having babies)develop in the late fifties. Actually started with the introduction of the birth control pill. Women could fornicate without fear of getting pregnant. The culture, with the sexually explicit images in movies lit a raging fire in young people already dealing with raging hormones. Then the abortion culture, and the militant feminist who went about trashing motherhood.

But without a doubt I would say Hollywood and the sex and violence that industry vomits, along with artificial birth control and the feminist movement just destroyed the institution of traditional family. Add government confiscatory tax policy and manipulation of currency and we're now to the point where our birthrate has collapsed. IMO that collaspe will have far reaching negative impact on America.

My poor grandchildren.

This is the only point I'd push back on. People are going to flock the urban centers I think that cycle is ending (work from home and better family life, education etc..) and I do think millennials will start popping kids out this decade. Hopefully they do because we need that aggregate demand boost to survive the leverage

it seems 1957 and 58 were the highest years recorded by the Census Bureau, and then a smaller decline started happening.

WWII. Troops came home and Levit invented the suburbs so they could get married and have sex without parents around. That caused a birth spike in the 50s. At some point they had to take a break from the bedroom.
