>>20511992>>20512017It's typical of mid-century sci-fi stupidity. They actually thought they could cut off the reproductive function in women without any knock-on negative effects. Seems ludicrous but we really thought we'd conquered nature to that level.
>>20511997This is another thing nobody understood at all. It's such an own-goal. Women had this loose logic that they can get a man who's slightly more than them, so if they're more, that means men will be even more than that. And also they just kinda assumed men would be looking for good careers and incomes the way they do. Of course neither thing is true. Women just climbed up to have average wages which shrunk their prospects tremendously, forces most of them to leave the home to work, and of course men don't give a shit about a woman's career so they're just throwing away their actual assets; their youth, beauty and good humor; to gain money and status men either don't care about or find offputting. Most men understand that a relationship will be much smoother and easier if they have some advantage on the woman they're dating, so men look around at all these stronk women and naturally think
>Shit, how am I supposed to keep these bitches in line with no leverage?and of course the answer is, you either have a bitch that keeps herself in line (rare) or you simply don't, which means divorce and child support.
We thought we knew everything but we didn't understand anything at all.
