#1 I believe we will see the same here and other industrialized nations virus obsessed. Can you imagine the pressure on you delivering a child in today's medical environment. Believe me vax and booster drama extreme. Birth and on it goes.

#2 What we need are fewer Michael "It's Complicated" Phelps types and a new breed of young women like "Lia" Thomas

#3 Speaking of breeding... just think of what we could produce with more Lia's (UPenn) and Izzy's (Yale) -- btw, Izzy Henig won't be nursing any grudges. Her kids can drink soy milk:

Thomas has been blowing women's swimming records out of the water and there is even a chance she might win national championships and even compete for all-time NCAA records set by Olympic gold medalists Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky.

She will compete at next month's Ivy League championships and has already qualified for the NCAA championships in March.

Last week, Thomas was crushed twice in a women's swim meet by another transgender competitor who is transitioning from female to male - first in the 100-yard freestyle, where she placed fifth, and then again in the 400-yard freestyle relay.

Thomas was beaten by Yale swimmer Iszac 'Izzi" Henig, who has had his breasts removed, but also says he has avoided taking any male hormones so he can continue to compete fairly on his college's swim team.

#4 ..should have removed the prostate while they were at it. To make things 'fair'.

#5 On a farm, a child is an asset who can help with chores. In a modern industrial city, a child is a liability who must be fed, housed, clothed and educated.

#6 Also, in traditional extended-family type societies, your children are your retirement plan.

#7 China is where Japan was population wise in the 80s. It will not bode well for any industrial nation in the next 20 years. Birth rates are collapsing everywhere in those countries and the countries that have a positive population rate (not counting migration) will be the ones that will control the world in 50 years. Which ones are those... hmmmm????
