.....The cultural angle cannot be the solution because the situation is cross-cultural, indeed, it may well be completely trans-cultural. The fact of the matter is that in every society where the average female education exceeds eight years, the birth rate drops below replacement level.
And since both societies and civilizations depend upon women being willing to become wives and mothers, the logic dictates that any society that wishes to survive to the end of the 21st century will have to seriously restrict female education beyond the replacement-level line.....
.....Progressives and feminists like to imagine that science will somehow rescue women from the demands of biology, but perhaps they should think more deeply about the additional consequences of those possibilities, for as we’ve seen with contraception and so-called emancipation, the unanticipated consequences of change may be far worse than what was believed to be the original problem.
For example, sex slavery is already a tremendous problem around the world, as the primary value of the victims is seen solely in the sexual services they can provide. So, contemplate what is likely to happen to the entire female sex if they are no longer required for the continued survival of the species?
Many years ago, I wrote a mildly notorious column called “The Brothel or the Burqah?” I may have been too optimistic there, as over an even longer timeframe, the range of viable choices would appear to be Elementary Education, Extinction, or Sex Slavery.
The real question, therefore, is if liberal democracy and universal suffrage are capable of surviving true women’s liberation when women vote for societal extinction.
