And then they give up. And a lot of them say, we just need to embrace low fertility. We've solved problems like this so many times. Yeah, go ahead.
Because it's relative. I mean, men are men and women are women. Going out and saying to men, you have to get better. I mean, who would go out and say Somalis need to get better or people with Down syndrome have to get better? We don't talk like that to groups. We don't say they're not good enough and tell them to better themselves. One, because it's inhumane, and two, it doesn't work.

You can't tell groups to pull themselves together. So yeah, maybe men have gotten worse and worse. Maybe women have gotten better and better. But I think it's more, it's... It's a change in that women, we had patriarchal societies where women were subservient and dependent on men. If they didn't find a partner, they would be sanctioned socially hard. They would live in poverty many times.

So now that we've created these wonderful new societies, that innate biological attraction that women had to men that motivated sufficient reproduction in the past, it's no longer strong enough. Life is too good. And given that, we have to look for new solutions.

Well, these lists that Dev has spread, they're not terribly insightful or helpful, I think, but it reflects the experiences that women have had with men. Don't be so interested in hunting and fishing and cars. Don't talk about yourself. Give me the right emotional support. Don't brag about things. It's this minutia that they say that men in general suffer from. And it's not men in general.

There's a normal distribution among men. You have a few men at the top that are phenomenal and a few men at the bottom that are terrible. And then you have just a bunch of normal guys. And women are right. In today's environment, men aren't good enough for women. But then we have to ask, what are we going to do about that?

And I don't know a single person, I don't even know if I've met a single person who wants to go back to the dark ages and put women under the boot of the patriarchy. But if we really love female freedoms as highly as many proclaim, and I certainly do,

then we owe ourselves to start experimenting and trying new things to see if we can have societies that exist in the future where women also are free. I mean, the stakes couldn't be higher. So this misplaced fear that if we talk about low fertility, women will suddenly live in oppressive patriarchies the day after tomorrow or 10 years down the line or 50 years down the line.
