What now, human biology dictates men lead and women bear children? I'm upset some people carry that pathetic incel narrative over to HN.

I’m going to ignore the stupidity and point out the problem of time.

If you spend your time educating yourself and working, you don’t have time to reproduce and raise children. Thus declining birth rates

Reality isn’t an incentive narrative. Go research declining birth rates and female education attainment and you will find charts that make it clear

  • If your answer to that problem is less women should attain higher education and take care of raising children instead, we just fundamentally disagree. Women have an equal right to education and working as men do.

    The charts you refer to show an environment where the responsibility for care work is heavily skewed to the detriment of women. If men took up a bigger part of raising children, it would be easier for couples to do that. But the vast majority of men don't.
