    Haven’t read this yet. And I’m sure there’s plenty of men who are unwilling to be parents or who are crap partners.

    But let’s be real; this is the Atlantic. So instead of covering the real systemic issue: the world is on fire and every bit of labor and value is being squeezed to its last drop to fill the dead coffers of the rentier elite, it’s gonna be: why we don’t got more kids? Men.

    It’s not about women being free to pursue jobs, or men being toxic. If society is not producing offspring, en masse, it’s because society sucks. My hot take.

      Man, I felt like I was going crazy. Every time I point out that the Atlantic is… not the most reliable… people always seem to have no clue what I’m talking about. I literally had to sit my family down and form a small presentation to demonstrate the issues. It’s so refreshing seeing someone else point out the same stuff

        Yeah I have the same problem with my family. They got me a subscription last year… and it’s not my thing. Mostly seems like neoliberal status quo stuff, with tolerant social positions.
