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.
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.
People never taught how slave owners said the same thing.
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.
Imagine working double shift In Japan. 70 hr work weeks is supposedly standard.
Also nothing like being a absent dad. Real traditional values.
Don't go making so much sense now!
So he wanted forced hysterectomies, ban women over 30 from getting married, and restrict women's access to education so they could focus on babies. I love that all of this pressure is on women like it's just them being stubborn and not a reaction to the society they're trying to survive in. It also alludes that men are otherwise thriving, with no other issues than women's lack of interest causing their disinterest. Men aren't looking to have kids either. And I don't think forcing them to limit their own dating pool and knowing that they'll have to fully support a pregnant, uneducated wife and possibly multiple children is going to make anyone rock hard. Japanese people are already worked to death, and everything is sp competitive. Maybe deal with that before wtf that plan was???
You're right that even men don't want families. Not because they don't like it, but because they can barely pay their own rent, so attempting to provide for a family is out of reach and also irresponsible
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"
The Taliban are nice and moderate compared to this.
Yeah, perfect solution for declining birth-rates. I literally can't think of ANY other way, no matter how reasonable it might be.
That even beats the retrograde force of islam. I'm impressed.
How about bettering the lifes of people, so they might be more inclined to procreate in this grotesque society? I didn't procreate decades ago because the world was nuts, and boy was i right to do so. The world is even more grotesque and bonkers now. If i see people, that are not very rich, with kids i immediately have to judge their lack of judgment and their gargantuan egocentrism.
No, stupid idea. Hystoectomies and total control of women is the only real solution. It's all their fault.
Is Japan facing the brutal cost of living situation as other developed countries?
Not really, but the yen is very weak and they are facing a rapidly aging population crisis.
The misogynistic idea was quickly dismissed by women across the country, forcing Hyakuta to apologise. In his apology, he clarified that his comments were were framed as a "science-fiction storyline" to help start a discussion on the falling birth rate.
He admitted that his opinions were "extremely harsh" and denied that he advocates for such drastic measures against women. "I meant to say that we cannot transform the social structure unless we do something that goes that far. I want to retract my remarks and apologise," he was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.
olololollol fuck all the way off
