I, uh… yep, it do be like that:

“I Wasn’t That Stressed About America’s Falling Birth Rate. Until I Realized It Was Women’s Fault”

I might be too stupid to understand as a man, how the fuck do falling birthrates have "serious consequences" for me?! less children to rape or what??!! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN!!?? this headline sounds to me like everyone in the Epstein files are panicking because there are less children to exploit.

seriously though excessively-falling birthrates mean less welfare available when we age into social security territory

my millennial friends all believe they won't get social security (because by then it would've run out) because of falling birthrates

Fine that makes sense but the headline specifically says "consequences for men" not for millennials or gen z or whatever, just men.

ironically enough, a falling birthrate will mean that the welfare system will do better, because there will be less need to pay out unemployment money to the unemployed working-age people on top of the retirement money for old people.

sauce? there’s way more retired old people than unemployed young despite how the latter’s rising
