The baby bust: female perspectives

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

After last week’s article on falling birth rates, a lot of men blamed generational selfishness. (Kids today!) Here’s what the sex that actually gives birth had to say…

After seeing the interest that last week’s baby bust article generated (over 500 comments and emails), I can promise I’ll be coming back to the topic.

Meanwhile, some of your thoughts. Women seem to be driving declines in birth rates globally, both for the obvious reason – women have children, men don’t – and more subtle factors. So this reader mailbag is devoted to female perspectives.

(For what it’s worth, many men wrote along the lines of “We have created an entire generation of entitled narcissists.” Men also tended to mention higher birth rates in Muslim countries. They are generally higher, but they are also falling quickly, especially in wealthier Muslim nations.)

As always, emails are edited only for grammar and length.

So – without further ado, except for the inevitable subscription plea – here goes:

(As promised, the inevitable subscription plea. Come on, don’t make me start throwing up paywalls all the time.)

Allison P:

I met my husband when I was 33, almost 34.  We got married when I was 36 and had our daughter that same year (we were actually pregnant already at the wedding, this was during Covid and because of our ages we decided not to wait and risk infertility).  Then we tried for our second and thankfully got pregnant with her right away and are due this upcoming February.  My husband is 11 years older than me.  We always say if we had met at 28 and 39 instead of (essentially) 34 and 45, we would have had 4 children… 

I think some of the reasons we got here are 1. The breakdown of the nuclear family and the way society downplays it’s significance 2. It’s hard to be a working mom… society has devalued the stay at home mom.  It’s not seen as something worthwhile, or it’s a “luxury”…

There’s even the illusion that kids need a lot of stuff to be happy.  They need present two parent households that are loving and supportive.  People don’t seem to get that anymore.  We live on much less than we make.  We have friends who say they couldn’t afford to stay home, but they also won’t drive used cars or live in a townhome.  They get a raise and they upgrade their lifestyles.  And suddenly they can’t afford and don’t have time for kids or more kids.

Meg J.

One possibility…they’re terrified of having kids with disabilities. My daughter is dating a guy whose brother is severely disabled. He doesn’t want to marry or have kids because who wants to face raising a disabled child the rest of your life? His entire childhood was affected by this. I understand his position.

Not to mention kids these days are raised so poorly, schools are crap, it doesn’t look very appealing anymore.

Callie S:

Culture/media influence has taught most people not to value children. It is no coincidence that religious people of various faiths have continued to have children at a similar pace, because they are often people who generally try to avoid heavy cultural media influence.

Linsey K.

I did recently see a report on the trends for what parents want for their adult children. For the first time in decades, “children” wasn’t at the top of the list. They would have rather seen a good career or money for their kids over grandbabies. Could the lack of pressure from parents to “make me a grandma before I die?” be part of the cause? Cultural and familial pressure is a real factor, I believe. Just food for thought. The priority shift may be happening more with us older people than we want to admit.

Signed,

Eagerly awaiting my grandbabies

(The incredibly depressing article Linsey mentioned)

SOURCE

Some women felt women are sublimating their desire for kids with pets:

Erica P.

Alarming indeed. I myself have one child and would have had more; however medical complications prevented this.

 I see this trend with friends and colleagues of mine, and it is most certainly cultural. It seems many feel their life will be “ruined” by having children (as we know, the truth is quite the opposite). They opt for pets instead, which I find extremely funny. Dogs and cats, while great additions to a home, are solely reliant on you for their 10+ years of life, whereas the tough baby and toddler phases end well before that…

Kathryn M:

 People, specifically men, are having far less sex than before. It’s staggering. Probably because of the next point.

 The rise of online pornography and AI girlfriends are off the chart. Who needs a real human to procreate with or have companionship with!

 Screens/devices/social media addiction take away our desire for human connection (i.e. family), but don’t actually meet the need. And they leave us far more depressed and often suicidal, feeling truly unconnected and lost. This point can’t be stated enough.

 An over-abundance of material stuff feeds temporarily our void for significance and meaning (but it’s never enough and doesn’t actually meet our real need). So both parents earn income…

 Who needs a kid when you have a fur baby? It never talks back to you, doesn’t challenge you, or tell the truth. It’s pretty cuddly though and even better fairly self-sufficient.

 Contraceptives and abortion – let’s be honest when these became readily available in the last century, birth rates truly began their decline. We stopped valuing human life and took matters into our own hands, focusing totally on convenience and self-needs…

And some female readers blamed selfishness too:

Holly P.:

Being a mother doesn’t fit in anymore and I think it’s mostly it is because as a society we are more selfish.  Having babies takes an incredible amount of selflessness.  Also, I think woman not getting married until they are older and having more time to think about the anxiety of carrying and delivering is scary.  

I make sure my kids know that the best thing in the whole entire world is being their mother and being a mom is the most amazing thing I have done and will do. 

Last thing is I think woman try too hard to “have it all”.  I had a career for years but always knew being a mom would trump that and I was okay with that.  Many women aren’t or men okay with not having a career.  Some families both parents need to work but in many they don’t but choose to in order to live their lifestyle with a big house and vacation homes.  

Emily L:

A very thought-provoking piece, indeed. I believe this baby bust is primarily the result of a societal selfishness. Gen Zers and millennials have been taught that THEIR feelings take precedence over all others’. They hate being inconvenienced or uncomfortable. Parenting is both inconvenient and uncomfortable. While hard, parenting is also incredibly rewarding, but the generations who are used to trophies for participating don’t want to work hard. They don’t see the point. 

Instead, they will continue brunching with friends and taking weekend trips they can share on social media..

Finally, a long story of the challenges of modern fertility and parenting from a mother who seems – to me, anyway – way too hard on herself.

Vanessa:

I think there are many reasons but the one that comes most to mind for me, as a 43 year old with children ages 8, 6 and 3, is that it is really hard to sacrifice… when I was in college and beyond I sought out only self-fulfillment and pleasure.  That’s not to say those pursuits didn’t include a tremendous amount of academic work… I worked hard.  I made sacrifices.  But it was for me.  The benefits of that work were real and tangible and often immediate.  And I was autonomous, independent…

I put off having children until 35 even though I was married at 27.  I was scared.  I didn’t want to give up my life.  If my husband had not insisted that having children was essential, I don’t know that I would have had any…

It was hard to delegate and hand off the great responsibility of caring for my children to someone else.  Having researched and become aware of the toxic nature of our environments led me to be scrupulous about what my children consumed – what they ate and environmental exposures – chemical and ideological.  In other words, it’s very hard to trust anyone and I often don’t.  This makes it very hard to parent…

I know I could hire help and resume a social life of some sort but I’m too tired.  It’s too much work.  And I feel guilty about it.  I spend so much time with them, I’ve been away from them once for 24 hours, and I still feel guilty about leaving them to do anything else.

I’d love to have a fourth child despite all this because they are beautiful, funny, adorable, sweet, innocent, amazing and to see how they love each other is more beautiful than anything I could have imagined…

I am constantly falling short of my expectations for myself as a mother.  But I feel like I simply haven’t learned how to joyfully sacrifice and really focus on all the beautiful aspects of my life, of which there are many.  

And this says nothing about how brutal pregnancy and childbirth were for me.  Again, I guess I just haven’t learned that suffering and pain are simply part of life.  That life isn’t meant to be comfortable.  I know this rationally, but in the thick of it (all of which is just ordinarily life stuff), it gets me down. 

Anyway, that’s my story and now you know a lot about me.  Maybe others out there have had a similar experience or similar fears that caused them to delay having children. 

I will also add that a lot of kids are chronically sick. Friends who have stopped at two kids have said that they simply can’t do more or risk having another sick child.  Others have struggled with fertility.  I know a lot of families with 5+ kids, they are very religious.  They tend to have a much more hands off approach to parenting.  Perhaps I need a lesson from them.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and Vanessa – give yourself the night off!

Maybe if parents would stop giving their kids 60+ injections of literal poison before they reach their teens, the kids would not be struggling with so much sickness.

When I was growing up, my older sister used to feed me anything she could get her hands on: coins, batteries, dirt, sand, used chewing gum, half eaten candy bars, etc. I had no problem with allergies or being sick all of the time. If you don’t stress the immune system while it is developing, you are going to be sick…

Good for you. If there is one thing this world does not need is more people.

No, I am not going to volunteer to kill myself, but I never had any children either, for the same reasons as you.
The people that probably should have children, don’t have any, and the ones that have no business bringing children into this world pop them out like puppies.

Yes I carry a weird recessive genetic gene that if I have a child with someone who also has the gene and they inherit that gene (1 in 4 chance) the child has a two year life expectancy. I lost a child to that and will not pass that gene on. I got a vasectomy.

What is the point when the state owns the kids. Boatloads of stress to provide the mafia with fresh tax slaves? Get the fuck out. And with them owning nothing and being unhappy and the coming 15 minute cities then slowly towards the gulags, your kids are gonna wish they had never been born.

don’t give your kids to the state. the kids start out in your arms and in your protection. you might have to flee if you can’t resist, or hide, or both, but you can do a lot to keep your kids out of the beast’s claws. maybe it won’t be comfortable and maybe you wont just sit around watching pointless entertainment on some screen all the time, but you will likely manage the main objective of raising a new generation of actual free range humans to succeed you. we don’t hang around here forever you know, and if we don’t raise up a new generation, then we’re finished. most people surrender from day one (literally, when the monster starts trying to inject shit into newborns!) and they dont even speak up!

youre referring to matthew i imagine.. it’s not ‘blessed is the woman who never gave suck’, but rather, in another paraphrase, He is saying, women pregnant or suckling a child will have an especially miserable time of it during the last days, as most everyone is going to have everything turned upside down on them.

ah, ok, that’s from luke. i thought you were referring to the part in matthew which is what i was mentioning.. however, the part from luke you quote, you must note the context. that’s jesus on the way to be crucified specifically saying about the jews who condemned him to execution, that the day will come when they regret their very lives, that _they will cry_ blessed are the barren, etc, that they will wish the mountains to fall on them to cover them and hide them.
totaly different from the bit in matthew where he is saying that when the tribulation comes women with child or suckling infants woe to them.
and, false bible? i’m reading the original greek.

“Men also tended to mention higher birth rates in Muslim countries. They are generally higher, but they are also falling quickly, especially in wealthier Muslim nations.)”

Don’t forget the extremely high birth rates among orthodox jews … the fastest growing segment among jews … most of their families have between 7 and 9 children … and, since pop’s busy ‘studying the torah’, he’s not working — so the taxpayers get to support his laziness habit and his entire family in the process.

Vanessa (the last woman) talks about children always being sick … 

She needs to educate herself and as many others as she can about the overwhelming evidence that the huge number of vaccines required for children are the biggest part of that problem … 

Look at the autism research: in the early-’80s, the autism rate was about 1 in 10,000 … with the great numbers of jabs required to put children in schools today, that number is 1 in 35 …

A friend of mine told about how they wanted to give her newborn daughter multiple jabs before she even left the delivery room … to which this friend refused … thankfully so.

Plus there is almost nothing in a regular grocery store that a sensible person would buy and consume. Even in “health food” stores many of the aisles consist of chips, candy, cookies, etc. Feed kids raw milk and meat bought from a local farmer. Find a co-op store in your area where at least some items are healthful. For example, one my kids tells me she is the only one of her friends and acquaintances who has never had a cavity.

70s kid. In my childhood my parents told me repeatedly that if I’d been a boy, there’d have been no more children. My younger fraternal twin sister got told repeatedly God threw her in for a joke. 60s feminism mumbo jumbo convinced my mother to abandon her Catholic upbringing and faith and decide she’d missed out on something much greater in life, so she’d frequently complain throughout my childhood that if not for us kids she’d have left our father years ago. My father would often complain about the truck or other material thing he could afford if not for us kids.

Despite all of us kids marrying, neither of my younger siblings nor I have children. I’ve no idea why that might be. 🙄 …Actually I do…Perhaps it was our parents constantly telling us that children are the worst thing that can happen to you that caused us all to instinctively avoid having children.

Every 2-3 years we’d move to a completely different state because of his insurance co. promotions… and the 4 kids were expected to adapt to a completely new environment, new friends, new culture, etc… never building a base of trusted friends or potential mates. My oldest sister had 3 kids, my next older sister had one,

I know that life. We moved every 4 years or so for my father’s job. I was always the new kid in school, and envious of kids who’d known each other since kindergarten. A few places we moved to, I too was mercilessly bullied and changing schools made no difference. I became an avid reader, played sports to make friends and counted the days until I could grow up, get my degree and move away for all the nonsense of living at home. I always knew junior and senior high school were only temporary; I just needed to survive so I could grow up and get on with the rest of my life.

I’m surprised that fertility issues aren’t mentioned more. Maybe that’s actually happening behind the scenes more than anyone knows. I mean, lots of pregnancies happen when you aren’t “trying” per se, and even sometimes when you are actively trying NOT to. I had quite a few friends who were surprised to find out after stopping their BC that pregnancy didn’t actually happen. Once it goes that way, most people aren’t going to openly admit it.

yeah, that plays a bigger role than many might think. we certainly didnt think it was a big problem, until month after month nothing (we were trying for a kid right from the start) and after a year of nothing, started to go around to a few doctors – all of whom all said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with either of us – and we decided to leave it in god’s hands. if he sends us children, good. if not, we need to figure out a new mission in life. neither of us thought for a moment about any kind of artificial ‘fertility’ crap or interventionist stuff, we just wanted to know if there was an actual problem or not. hard to tell what we’d have done if it turned out that one of us did have a problem. both of us were of the opinion that ‘if i am the reason we cant have kids, then youre released to remarry and have a family’. but after almost seven years and several bad miscarriages, we have a brilliant little girl who is our whole world now. if more kids come as well, even better. our mission is clear, to raise her (and any of her brothers and sisters who show up later) as best we can and protect them from all the crazy shit going on around us!
after the miscarriages we started to finally hear stories coming out of the woodwork from others around us, who had similar stories.

Did you not read the title? The author clearly states they intentionally complied female comments from an earlier article they wrote.

That’s not true. Men can turn down women for sex and women can turn down men for relationships. There’s no such thing as one gender being the gatekeeper of anything.

That said, what man in his right mind wants to wife up a 304 that has been dug out by Chad and Tyrone over the past 15 years.

Are you married with children? You come across as a very immature guy with little interpersonal relationship experience.

Then I’d advise you to stop listening to unmarried immature men on social media and agreeing with their worldview if you want to stay married and not become a weekend Dad. Your comment is filled with a bunch of stupid. There is no Chad or Tyrone sexing up all the women. There’s no gate keepers. There’s no feminists hiding in the alley out to get you.

Oh boy. I read here everyday but this subject hits home. I had six, yes six, wonderful children. Yes it was hard, yes we ate eggs for dinner for a whole week until the checks came in. Yes I worried about everything when they were young. I stayed home with them until the youngest went to first grade.

It’s damned hard in this day and age and it was damned hard in the 90’s too! We only had one car and only had stay-cations. We got a reasonable pool membership to fill the summers. I cleaned houses to make up for the needed monies in the winter. My kids wanted for nothing, so they say. They played school sponsored sports. We couldn’t afford travel ball. I don’t remember in the 70’s-80’s when I was in school anyone doing anything but, camp for richies. We all made our own summers. I did this for my kids too.

Jobs at 16. They all but one “snowflake” are successful. This crap about not having kids is incredible because of one excuse or another. All those are selfish excuses as far as I am concerned. The most wonderful thing in the world is a child and a grandchildren.

PS. My sister could not have kids. She adopted. Some choose not to have kids and are DINKS.(Double income, no kids)

A sorry existence as far as I am concerned. This is a hard crowd and expect push back, but I have told my kids to have more babies. They/we will never have them if they/we wait to be able to afford them. No one can afford kids but it all works out if you put priorities in order.

You know how sometimes you would go to school and you would bring a piece of paper that your parent wrote and the teacher would look at it and say, “OK, you’re excused,” and you were released from participation in the activity?

With your explanation, you were just excused. Such cycles are almost impossible to break without total support and complete lifelong dedication.

I salute your decision. That was an adult decision made in full consideration for future generations.

Commendable. You have my respect.

Yep, 100% that’s exactly it. If you wait until life is perfect, it’ll never be the right time. Until you are 42 and infertile. People need to be planning generationally. If you want grandkids, a heritage, give your kids a leg up. Not college. Wealth. Property. A home. Or at least a house and some land.. And SKILLS.

Your heritage will be taxed to pay for the debt. The death taxes will rise to 90% and more. ( in communist Belgium with the highest taxes, the inheritance tax from aunt to nephew was increased from 80 to 90% – that is NO lie. They will receive nothing. Inheritance will be illegal. And I ain’t jokin’. Worse still your kids will not be able to earn enough after taxes to live a good life. Abject poverty is their future. They will own nothing and be unhappy.

It’s easier to build a durable love on a foundation of wild lust, than it is to spark a new love on the wet tinder of a cold-blooded compact.

I bring this up to impress upon the gathered how much better it is for White nations if their women begin family formation while their beauty is at its ripest, rather than waiting to settle down after burning through those prime years servicing the sterile knob of BIGCORP.

It’s often asked by the Vaj Pilled how a man will love a woman when she ages out of her salad years? He won’t….if he met her in her mid-late 30s, when the lines of sexperience and the insults of cellular surrender have begun to etch their battle scars. But if that man met her when she was the finest flower to ever bend to the sun, her aging won’t startle him. He will have accrued a repository of ardor and affection, girded by memories of her lithe naked youth splayed for his pleasure, that will act as a buffer against her age-related decline.

If he has had children by her, even stronger will be his resistance to signs of her sexual fade. With full heart and steel tine, he will gladly seed her again, when she is older and perhaps less enticing to other men, because the lingering, lurking, lascivious memory of their youthful passion will suffuse his duty with an adventurer’s hunger.

Contrast with the tired beta male, weary from a decade chasing cock carouselers with more rando cum than crayon cards to fill their photo albums, who finally meets the “girl of his dreams”, lol, recently turned 36 and promoted to Vice President of Pointlessness. They both know “it’s time”. The compact is signed. The future is mapped out. The one autistic child will arrive ETA 2.5 years from now.

Do you think that beta male loves his consolation prize? Or she her “good man” whose claim to tragic fame is how often he unwittingly reminds her of the “one she couldn’t sway”?

A loveless compact binding defeated beta male with older woman just now contemplating first time motherhood is not the future for the White race, unless you think lab-grown fetuses and below replacement fertility are the keys to the kingdom.

The future of the White race starts with love for one’s race, and that starts with lust for the best of the opposite sex that your race creates.

I am sure that it has absolutely nothing to do with the following:

1. The average size of a single woman today is 18+.

2. A majority of single women today suffer from BPD or other emotional disorders.

3. The average single woman today has tattoos, piercings, green hair, etc.

4. The average single woman today brings practically nothing to the table except what is between her legs (and her Only Fan’s Account).

5. Tinder has made it possible for ALL single women to chase after/ feel entitled to the top 5% of men (regardless of commitment). No woman wants a “steady Eddie” anymore (at least, not until they get knocked-up and dumped a few times).

6. Most single women today are liberal and highly sexualized at a young age. This leads them to having a ridiculous amount of sexual partners before they finally decide to “settle down”; usually in their mid 30’s and beyond. Sorry, but no man with any self esteem wants to write a check against the “communal Fleshlight”.

7. Feminism has taught most single women to forgo committed relationships and children; in favor of self indulgence, worthless secondary education, and careers. Sorry ladies; but you cannot have it all!

8. Feminism has highly masculinized women and taught them that learning traditional skills; like cooking, cleaning, and child rearing are sexist; and, the Patriarchy’s way of trying to control them.

9. No fault divorce has become a weapon to be used, by the State, to destroy fatherhood and stable marriages. Over 80% of women are the ones who file for divorce. In the vast majority of cases, the father pretty much loses equal visitation rights with his kids. In many cases, the man loses at least half of his assets; in addition to Alimony and Child Support. About 50% of marriages end in divorce within the first 10 years.

Bottom line, how many decent, caring, providing men out there want to bust their ass for the rest of their life and write a check against all of the above??

What a load of complete bullshit. First, the world is grossly overpopulated, and it is making the world a fucked up place to live.
Second if you know anything about biology, you would know that all animal species reproduction varies with the condition of environment they live. If an environment becomes more hostile and less able to support live, the rate of reproduction diminishes.
If the environment becomes more productive, then reproduction rates increase. The more populated an area becomes, the lower the reproduction rates. Animals, including humans need a certain amount of space to flourish.
Prior to the overpopulation of the world, technology increased production which in turn increased birth rates. Birth rates continued to increase until the world became grossly overpopulated and now can only survive with the artificial production that technology provides.
That technology, while providing production, has also decreased standards of living making life more intolerable. Nearly a million people a year commit suicide worldwide because they would rather be dead than alive.
The pendulum of reproduction has traveled too far in one direction and now must revert to the mean. Mankind has walked the earth in his present form for over a million years, and likely gone through several periods of population increase and decrease. Life is a cycle, it is not linear.

Well…if the US is going into WWIII at some point anyway, here’s what you do:

1. Extend the draft to all military age women (most important step). Don’t care how you do it, just get it done.
2. Mobilize the military for a large-scale war (doesn’t matter if the threat is real or not, keep it going for at least 6-9 months).
3. You will see the largest wave of women getting pregnant to avoid military service in history.

In the event of WW3, the draft will make no difference. The Russians and Chinese have thought this through, and already developed the weapons needed to ensure their victory.
The US has enjoyed a unique position geographically, being basically an island far removed from the battlefields of the past.
Having analyzed the situation, including the fact that 40% of the US population lives along the coastlines, Russia and China developed nuclear torpedo’s capable of creating 1500 ft. tsunamis which would wipe out all life along the US coastlines, along with cities, ports, Naval bases, effectively destroying the US as a functioning country in a single coordinated attack.
In addition to attacks from ICBM’s and hypersonic missiles which are impossible to intercept, the outcome would be so bad, you would be very unlucky to survive.
