        Just FYI, my wife has two masters degrees and still was able to get pregnant, give birth and help raise a child with me afterward. So apparently it is possible for women to have advanced university degrees and have kids.

        Incidentally, my mother also has two masters degrees, so apparently that was also possible in the 1970s without the population crashing.

          Nobody says it’s impossible.
          And my wife has a college degree and has no impetus to work at all.

          Her sister has masters and doesn’t want to work either .
          Riddle me that

            You seem to think suggesting women get advanced degrees means we also think people shouldn’t have babies.

            Also, you seem to be making some stupid “women don’t want to work” claim which is just nonsense.

              The only question I have - why advocate childlessness? U people seem to be making claims that if woman has kids - she’s automatically a baby factory and a servant.
              This is mindbiggling

        I think they’re advocating that women can choose for themselves what kind of person to be, and the fact their bodies are capable of gestating new humans doesn’t obligate them to do so.

        It’s sort of like how the fact a man’s body may be capable of entertaining others by dressing their penis up in a tiny coat and hat doesn’t mean we should bully an entire gender into making that the purpose of their existence, nor does it mean we’re advocating for a world without sharp dressed dicks.

        Let people live their lives based on who they are, not the abilities of their genitals.

          Noone has to do anything.
          But there seems to be a sustained campaign against having kids.
          Imo This is just fighting against the natural way of life.
