Well... I actually think this is why we have feminism in the first place. And maybe RoK got this a little bit wrong.

Yes, in previous societies women who didn't reproduce hurt society. But there's a huge difference between our society and the society of 400 years ago.

We already have shit loads of people. We don't really need to maintain our growth rate. And it might make sense to slow down until we can better utilize the earth's resources.

However, this article does hint towards a point. That women in today's world AREN'T more valuable than men because their natural incubators aren't as valuable now that we have 7 billion people. Whereas, in the past women were definitely more valuable.

And women saw this coming. They realized that their competitive advantage was going to dry up as the population grew and grew. And they got scared shitless that we men would just suddenly stop valuing them altogether. So they projected this fear onto men by saying, "You CURRENLY don't value us! We're not equal!"

Well, we've never been equal. Men have always been less valuable.

So I like this article because it touches on the devaluation of woman. But I think that devaluation is occurring regardless of a woman's choice to reproduce. Because even if she does, who cares? Do we really need 1 more baby out there?

Yes, we can't just STOP reproducing. But given the number of women who will reproduce, and the massive population as it is, it's really not all that important anymore.

And Woman realized this. A LONG time ago.
