Nope, many Chinese had no choice but to have only one kid. Then in some cases the woman's eggs would get tied by relevant authorities in a butcher's fashion so no opportunities for a second child. In other cases the woman would be forded to abort when found pregnant with a second child.

You present the situation as if having one child was a deliberate choice in most Chinese families for all those years, while it wasn't in any way or shape whatsoever. Proof is lots of them decided to have a second child now that they are allowed to by the government, so they definitely didn't choose to only have one before.

I think one of the most hypocritically ironic thing that I have ever heard was a Chinese woman complaining to me that there are too many people in China while she was herself pregnant with her second child. Zero self awareness, it's other people's fault not mine! China in a nutshell

I think being a misogynist can be a good thing these days. It reminds women of their place in the scheme of things and they will know they are owed nothing by men

Ain"t no free ride in this world and should not be!

Surely all mysogonists are misfits, so we needn't say mysogonist misfits!

One might argue that all misogynists are misfits, but all misfits are not misogynists. We use adjectives, even when misspelled and sharing a common form with the noun, to modify nouns, not the reverse.

I am still unable to determine how one responds to your previous tortured enquiry:

they are separate entities, or are they indeed?

Perhaps Taffy would be so kind as to translate the cockney meaning of double affirmatives combined with a conditional conjunction then punctuated with an affirmative adverb.

Surely all mysogonists are misfits, so we needn't say mysogonist misfits!

And their offspring needn't be mysogonists, BTW. Many a mysogonist's son/daughter is normal.

If a mysogonist's son/daughter commits a serious violent crime, the courts seldom mete out a reduced sentence.

I think the development below is very interesting:

Rich married couples worldwide sometimes choose to have talented offspring by paying companies that provide the sperm of brilliant men for artificial insemination of the wives.

It began stateside, and has worked very well. It also happens in China.

I wonder if I qualify as a misogynistic misfit? haha!

Yep, Drags, a man of morals and common sense

Yes, there are mysogonists and there are mysogonist misfits; they are separate entities, or are they indeed?

I think you imply that mysogonists who choose not to have children are letting the species down by not strengthening the species.

The real culprits are the mysogonist misfits!

What a clever bloke you are!

Excellent post, Dragonized!

Great to see you back.

Correct. Stupid Western governments have been welcoming families involved in criminal activity in China and many other nations into our countries.

The stupidity also of cramming more people into cities like Sydney, Los Angeles, London, etc that already have more people than they need. Especially bad in places like LA and Sydney that are just a massive urban sprawl.

The white middle classes in the West pay a heap of taxes and rates and all sort of other charges and our governments just waste it.

Stupid politicians congratulate themselves on the construction of a new freeway, blind to the fact that if they had not let in so many migrants it would not have been built in the first place.

Lunacy means nothing to the government if they can collect more tax money, then spend it, and finally proclaim how much duty they have done to the people. Now, governments in the west see nothing wrong with importing corrupt money from abroad to fill their own personal coffers. While regular folks like you and me get screwed over with tax cuts, health insurance, and company benefits.

Many Chinese realize that big nuclear families cost much money to raise. So they have only a single child or two children. I reckon other races like Latinos and Africans still choose to have many children despite being too poor to raise them properly.

I agree that childless women deserve respect, as do men like you who choose to be childless and single.

When I was young, I went to discotheques to try to find a girlfriend. My dancing skills were terrible. I couldn't make friends with any of the females there. The very loud music made it difficult to start a conversation. I hated having to bawl in a girl's ear, so I gave up.

However, dancing the night away is good for losing weight while enjoying the music.

That means that all the women who are childless by choice are "childless rubbish women"..Liike the sheng nv, the "leftover women": of China. I actually have a bit of respect for them. At least they are not raping this planet with their "right to breed" mentality unlike other Chinese.

Interesting!!!
Easy to conclude from this study that: Inequality is inherent to any society. It's in the DNA for groups to give 2-3 wives to the big men who have a lot of children and to leave the others childless: this is natural selection, like we observe in groups of wolves, lions etc.
We need to compare this study with Scandinavia where inequality is at its lowest in the world and see what factors have made Scandinavia what it is today. From some TV programs like "Vikings" that enact some components of history - some - we see that only 500 years ago, Scandinavia was more like the tribes of the study. It means that a fundamental change happened quickly, during a few centuries only.
