Japan needs babies.

Yes that is the lie we've been feeding women since the 60's along with the idea that entering the corporate sphere and competing with men would be fulfilling. How's that going for them?

You don't need a child to have a love life. And it's not unnatural for a female to wear the pants or be the breadwinner in the relationship. Only insecure men would feel threatened by that. :roll:

What does women being less happy every year since the sexual revolution have to do with insecure men?

Yup, he is insecure alright. Why else he wouldn't show context for what he showed to make it seem like it supports his claim while acting aggressive towards anyone who even dares to question his security as man.

You know, a graph without citation or explanation from where they got their data might as well be:

Not sure if this is an unintentional result of using Twitter's shitty upload-solutions or a brilliant meta-commentary.

Jesus people. Take issue with Anti's political stances all you like, but it isn't hard to verify his data. The declining happiness of women is well documented, at least in the United States. (his graph is lifted from this article)

Does nobody else read Jezebel? This subject comes up every few months at least. What copy editor can resist a click-bait paradox like this?

Question: If this is true, why does every country that actually faces this problem begin taking drastic steps in order to reverse the trend? Singapore will pay you $3000 for your first child, and up to $18000 for your third. Russia has a 10 year program of subsidies aimed at encouraging women to have children. Spain now has a 'minister of sex' who's primary job is to reverse the declining birth rate. Beatrice Lorenzin is busy in Italy. Are the men and women who lead these countries just stupid? Do they not realize the benefits of a shrinking population? What exactly ARE those benefits, anyway?
