Is America in a demographic crisis? Demographers don’t think so. I conducted a survey of U.S. demographers, and this is what I found: 3%: “The low birth rate is a demographic crisis” 25%: "serious concern” 53%: "should be monitored, but no intervention necessary” 20% :“not a problem at all.”
Fig. 1 The United States has a total fertility rate around 1.6. Which of these statements
comes closest to your view? N = 180

3.2

24.5

52.7

19.7

The low birth rate is a
demographic crisis

The low birth rate is a
matter of serious concern

The low birth rate should be
monitored, but no
intervention is necessary

The low birth rate is not a
problem at all

Figure one: age breakdown of traumatic brain injuries by activity. The graph clearly shows that American tackle football has the highest number of traumatic brain injuries.

Inverting Feminism

SlutCon's vision
paints women into a corner in having an ethos that is an inversion of
feminism. In Aella's own words:

Most women don't know what they want
and if they do they are pretty bad at and so their sexual advice tends to be ineffective at best and actively
communicating it, damaging at worst.

Heavy focus on safety and deference are there for good reasons
and they need to be
respected, but often are
deeply unsexy, no matter how much people insist otherwise.
