Its a great way to "trap" someone who you fear is going to leave you because you're a slacker working a dead end job and you know they can do better if they could see the reality of the situation.

When the birth control pill was first released, people opposed it by claiming that women would just take trains of lovers while their husband was at work, since there was no longer the risk of pregnancy.

That was 64 years and many of those people became politicians and church leaders or passed their shitty views down to their shitty children.

they need more dumbasses to make more dumbass voters.

There's far right assholes who think the solution to falling birth rates is to go full Ceaușescu.
