    Just FYI, my wife has two masters degrees and still was able to get pregnant, give birth and help raise a child with me afterward. So apparently it is possible for women to have advanced university degrees and have kids.

    Incidentally, my mother also has two masters degrees, so apparently that was also possible in the 1970s without the population crashing.

      Nobody says it’s impossible.
      And my wife has a college degree and has no impetus to work at all.

      Her sister has masters and doesn’t want to work either .
      Riddle me that

        You seem to think suggesting women get advanced degrees means we also think people shouldn’t have babies.

        Also, you seem to be making some stupid “women don’t want to work” claim which is just nonsense.

          The only question I have - why advocate childlessness? U people seem to be making claims that if woman has kids - she’s automatically a baby factory and a servant.
          This is mindbiggling

            Nope. The claim is that the tradwife is the one who thinks that.

            Everyone else is saying she’s wrong.

            And your stupid “women don’t want to work” implication is still stupid.

              Are u denying that not all women at all want to do the day job and then take care of the kids? I’m telling u not every one at all want to do that

                  You do know that men can also take care of children, yes?

                  im a man and I have 2 kids and we both take care of them with my wife. and she does not want to work and wants to be a “trad” wife.
                  I think child-free propaganda is just silly, we are made certain way that are different for genders

                    Cool. No one is doing any “child-free propaganda” here. You’re taking the criticism of a tradwife saying women shouldn’t worry about anything but child-bearing as some sort of anti-natalism thing rather than just basic feminism.

                    Russian thinks he has a wife and kids, when in reality Putin has a baby maker and more cannon fodder.

                    You happy that your kids will die in Ukraine for no reason?
