Obviously “bizarre population pitch” is an innapropriate way to phrase it, but it’s this article’s title

Attitudes like what? Are you actually thinking the people who didn’t choose for forced surgery deserve it?

Not really, but the yen is very weak and they are facing a rapidly aging population crisis.

How does threatening women with forced hysterectomies even make sense? Is the solution to increase birthrates not as simple as implementing policies that just make having a family easier, like better job security and shorter work days/weeks/years?

The idea is that women are afraid not to have children at all and get emergency children before 30.

That this will turn women into breeding and child caring machines has the nice side effects that you not only get a bunch of women who don’t have time for education, and thus more job security for me men, and it keeps them at home, so you don’t need child care facilities.

So all in all a great step forward into the 1920!

It just halves the family income I guess nothing major. Doubt they are going to pay me double.

Maybe the dads are supposed to work double shifts.

I think even just getting rid of at-will employment for expectant parents and people with dependents would provide safe incentive for having more kids.

So many people think that if their owner wasn’t taxed as much, or if the company could save money somehow, it would mean they would get a raise. No Jimbob, you sweet summer child, the owner is just going to pocket the savings and pay you the same.

Hysterectomy is a big, risky and expensive surgery. Just snip the men at 35 (for average couple age difference), same panic effect but way less expensive.

/s just to make sure, super bad idea probably breaching multiple human rights agreements either way

My partner said deal if they take men’s balls at 30. You know the expression “if you don’t use it you lose it”
