1 The Least Laid Generation in History: Gen Z Is Ghosting Sex — and the Implications Are Huge
Posted by Grom the Affective 2026-02-15 03:33||   2026-02-15 03:33|| Front Page Top

2 These authors looked at young adults ages 25 to 35 who self-identify as liberal or conservative. They found that young liberal women today are much less likely to have children than young conservative women, with a gap of more than 30 percentage points. And that's a big change since the 1980s, when there was a much smaller gap between liberal and conservative women.

Women (particularly leftist ones) give a lot of noble sounding reasons why they aren't having kids.

"Save Gaia!"

"Overpopulation!"

"Be responsible, you can't afford them!"

All BS.

The REAL reasons are:

1. They actually can afford them, but they don't want to give up lifestyle, trinkets, and bragworthy vacations.

2. They are afraid that physical effects of multiple childbirths will diminish the sexual currency they have told themselves they must have to control men and compete with other women.

3. They want to spend as long as possible trying to score the biggest Mr. Big because they have told themselves that no matter how homely, obese, smelly, or obnoxious they are, they deserve only the richest and best looking male for a mate.

Yeah there are lots of other reasons but these are the most important ones.

Possibly Gen Z is reacting to the reported lack of discrimination of the Millennials…

10 #2 its also the males going their own way. From #metoo, #believeallwomen, and tictok in particular showing the inner modern female full of entitlement and narcissism, a good body of men have decided the 'juice ain't worth the squeeze'. The dating market has largely been reduced to a transactional process. When you can get women to agree to automatic DNA testing on all children before the father's name is put on the birth certificate, call me.

11 Men going their own way and definitely number 3, although #3 applies to the men as well.

Anybody thinking of getting married should definitely think about a pre-nup.
