White conservatives have been fretting over the declining national birthrate for at least a quarter-century now. And the blame almost invariably goes to: liberals convincing women to be independent career women instead of tradwives living the June Cleaver life, liberals turning young men into weak sissies who can't attract women, liberals "brainwashing" kids into turning gay or becoming transgender, and liberals "brainwashing" young people into leaving churches and getting away from god and His plan for everyone's lives, which boils down to god wanting all men and women to get married and have babies in traditional (male dominant) marriages. If only everyone would conform to this lifestyle then everyone would be so much happier, just like people seemed to be on all those MeTV 1950s, 60s, and 70s TV shows!

And of course the real reason they're frightened of the declining white birthrate is because it means that whites will soon no longer be a majority of the country's population, and that terrifies them.

RFK Jr.'s warnings about sperm counts fuel doomsday claims about male fertility​

The health secretary has warned about falling sperm counts in teens. Doctors say the reality is far more nuanced and little cause for panic.

“… Contrary to Kennedy’s claims, sperm counts decline with age, so young men have much higher counts than older men. And data about sperm counts in teen boys largely does not exist.

Some researchers contend that men’s overall sperm counts are lower than they were generations ago, based mostly on two papers published in the last decade. Others say there’s no convincing evidence of the trend. And many agree that even if sperm counts are declining, it does not amount to a full-blown fertility crisis.

“This is a very contentious issue in our field, and for every paper that you find that suggests a decline and raises an alarm for this issue, there’s another paper that says that the numbers aren’t changing, and that there’s no cause for concern,” said Dr. Scott Lundy, a reproductive urologist at the Cleveland Clinic.…”
Re: Age of first menstruation, why would you jump straight to "chemicals" when we're (obviously, imo) going to find that advances in nutrition due to declining childhood poverty since the nineteen-frickin-fifties is the driver here.

I mean, is that not obvious to anyone else?

EDIT: Also, potentially fewer extremely low boy fat % adolescents due to a more sedentary lifestyle and less "farm chores" and other physical labor/activity.

Parents not having children is a new one.
There are 2.5x as many humans living on this planet as there were on the day I was born.

Most of us are college educated and know full well (in the back of our minds , whether we want admit it to ourselves consciously or not) what this sort of exponential curve on a population-over-time graph represents.

We've all swallowed some sort of big lie that "more population over time" is the hard requirement for sustained economic growth. It's long past time (50 years overdue) that we started to question that article of faith.

As usual the knuckleheads are barking up the polar opposite wrong tree.

Haven’t these people watched Soylent Green?

In many ways we used to be a much more honest and open society. We used to be able to talk publicly about something like overpopulation. Those of us old enough will remember that Meathead and Gloria on the Archie Bunker show were explicitly planning to not have children because of overpopulation. I haven't hear any public figure in any capacity dare to address overpopulation directly in the last four or so decades. There are at least some ways we've deeply regressed as a nation over the intervening decades (another example would be the marginal tax rates of at first millionaires and then billionaires).

As an aside, don't get me started about Archie Bunker. More properly fits on the tipping point thread from a few days ago, but I think you can draw a bright line from half the nation gleefully chuckling at the naked displays of prejudice by Archie on that show straight through to MAGA.

I was only 8 or so, but I saw the way my dad laughed at that shit and I knew exactly what the score was. (FTR, my Dad is now very anti-Trump, but that's a whole other story).
