Well, as the old saying goes, "Any man who says he's a feminist is just trying to get laid." That said, I don't think the lady's comments were meant to imply that everybody could, should or would live in Jacksonville. I think it was more along the lines of pointing up how little actual space we really occupy. For those shoved into places like New York City, it probably does seem as if the planet is jam packed. But, I just drove across Nevada a couple of days ago. Trust me, there's still a lot of empty space out there... a lot. |

Is there anything wrong with that? |

Thank you.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle

What are "these types of men?" Are we talking about guys who still think women should not vote, drive, hold public office, work outside the home or speak unless spoken to? Or just anybody who might, say, have some qualms about abortion, but also happens to be male? I think you need to clarify the parameters of your mandatory sterilization program. |

I think all this ire and anger against people who have the audacity to have more than their fair share of children is a bit misplaced. I think we are very close to population apex and we are not just going to rise and rise in population like the sy-fy movies like to protray. Because now more than any other time in the existance of humans more and more women are simply choosing to never have any children, or adopt either . We are at 25% now and out of that about 25% of women just have one child. Those numbers are higher in other countries. |

I do agree about free birth control though. And free sterilisation for those who want it. But that would go hand in hand with affordable healthcare. Which right wingers hate. They want millions of babies so they can all suffer and die of treatable, and preventable conditions. IMHO

I hope I was not offensive. I did not want to make a blanket statement. I know all men are not these type of men.
