Continuing to increase the world population is absolutely nuts.

Not every country has the obsessive cultural view that males are better.

So you'd end up with mountains of dead babies whose sex doesn't matter. Is that any better?

Let's see, uh.... what the fuck are you talking about? You think people would carry babies to term and then just kill them vs. abortion, contraception or sterilization?

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

That's what we have seen in China time and time again. Given that the areas of the world where a 2 kids rule would be most applicable are the countries that lack access to medical care, contraception and education, that's what would happen there as well

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
