    Yeah, and men who support women’s right. Need to support this as well.

    Seriously, look at recent events in Texas. Having sex with women while republicans are in power. It is a potential death sentence for those women.

    Unless you can groove beyond doubt, one off you is infertile. And honestly, given the way some republicans are. Only trust your own eyes on the microscope when checking. Because forcing doctors to lie to women is far from beyond some of these people.

    Honestly, leaving the US for a more liberal nation is the only safe option the way things are looking.

    It won’t matter when abortion is illegal and rape goes unpunished.

    The future is hell for everyone.

    This just makes “incels”, who are known to be too intellectually inadequate to get a clue. I wouldn’t put it past them to vote away your right to say no first.

      Once the birth rate drops enough, it won’t matter how many incels there are, the economy crashes without kids.

    Given that the new agenda is to end birth control, no-fault divorce and spousal rape laws, a lot of women are about to have no say past the first one. Don’t get married, and if you’re in a bad marriage try to get out ASAP.

    so, because punishing all women is bad, it’s a good idea to punish all men?
    here’s an alternative: don’t fuck republicans… they’re the ones trying to control women.

      It’s not punishing anyone as much as asserting our bodily autonomy, but go off. Targeting Republicans means no pressure is applied to anyone else to change society. Not every woman will participate in the strike. The effects of it have to be wide reaching.

      It’s a widespread denial of the institutions behind gender relationships. Saying that the system is dangerous for women and refusing to participate in it.

      I give it about 6 months of this strategy before conservative men will be paid to pretend to be leftists in order to impregnate women, so I understand the “don’t fuck any man” strategy.

    It isn’t. They will simply import women from other countries. And this election alone proves the fact that all women are not a monolithic group. You’re not going to get a majority to follow this trend.

      It seems to have had the desired effect elsewhere. Also I’m not sure if it’s required for women to be a monolithic group. This assumption is based on the gender divide in the current election. Regardless, Trump’s policies are going to have a natural impact and decreasing birth rate just due to financial strain so if there are multiple factors that are impacting the numbers that’s all the better right?

        Korea IS A monolith when it comes to a number of factors. Culturally Korea is the antithesis of “diverse”.

        My point is that America is nothing similar to Korea culturally to pull this off.

          Well, I’m pretty sure you’re right about South Korea. I don’t see that as a reason not to try though. I can only hope that you’re wrong about America. I appreciate the insight.

          E: Even if it isn’t super effective, every little bit helps.

            Yeah no. Continuing this rhetoric is exactly how the Democrats will continue to lose elections. Making vast assumptions about men and telling them they’re lesser is what drove away voters for the past 4 years. The vast majority of men have no desire or whim to do any of what you claim.

            Edit: Just realized the swipe typo. Corrected.

              Doesn’t need to be vast. You saw how a tiny group called MAGA got control of the government and people’s minds. You underestimate their plan. The next four years is going to be a lot of, “but… they can’t do that?!” for a lot of people.

                Once again. No. What lost the democrats the win was Kamala. Biden refusing to step down earlier so proper primaries could be done (not sure why they didn’t just hold primaries ANYWAY). The democrat party proved in 2020 that nobody wanted or even like Kamala (https://www.vox.com/2019/11/20/20953284/kamala-harris-polls-2020-election or lookup any poll from 2019). Her inability to actually talk about her platform (and how she’ll attain her actual goals) and answer the question being asked lost her a lot too. A hard focus on issues that were not “top of mind” for the majority of the country didn’t help either. Not some conspiracy that a handful of republicans are pulling the strings everywhere. People were simply unmotivated to vote for someone who couldn’t answer how she’d do any of what she claimed to want to do.

                Regardless of what you think the border IS a valid problem.

                Now there’s some magic plan? Either they’re stupid or masterminds. You can’t really have it both ways. Nobody is out there convincing people that women aren’t human and have no rights. Stop with your nonsense.

                  Total votes cast: 143,000,000

                  Percentage of voters who are women: 54%

                  Number of female voters: 143,000,000 × 0.54 = 77,220,000

                  Percentage of women who voted for Harris: 54%

                  Estimated number of women who voted for Harris: 77,220,000 × 0.54 ≈ 41,698,800

                  This is a rough estimate. More complete data will become available later.

                  I think that’s enough people to have an impact

                  1. Assumptions:

                  We assume that 41.7 million women strictly adhere to the B4 movement.

                  This group represents a significant share of women of childbearing age (usually defined as 15-44 years in demographic studies).

                  We estimate the average U.S. woman has around 1.7 children over her lifetime, aligning with current U.S. fertility rates.

                  1. Impact on Births:

                  41.7 million women choosing not to have children would mean approximately 1.7 fewer children per woman, over their lifetimes.

                  This would potentially prevent around 70.9 million births (41.7 million x 1.7) in the long term, assuming these women otherwise would have had children.

                  1. Annual Impact:

                  Spread over an average reproductive lifetime (roughly 30 years), this impact would reduce the birth rate by about 2.36 million births annually (70.9 million divided by 30 years).

                  Annual U.S. births could drop from 3.6 million to approximately 1.24 million, which is a ~65% decrease in the birth rate.

    I started this in 2016 in the lead up to the election. Got sterilized in 2022 after the Dobbs decision leaked. Too many guys are secret misogynists at best, and pro rape/anti-abortion at worst. The lectures I had to do to convince my ex that rape is rape, whether you fight off the perp or not.

    Because young men will have a much easier time getting laid when abortion is restricted nationwide and contraceptives are harder to get 🙄 talk about shooting yourself in the dick
