Jesse Kelly of “The First” discussed declining birthrates and their connection to feminism. His guest was Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum.
The video opens with a clip from 2022 in which Elon Musk warns of declining birth rates and population collapse.
“Inez, why aren’t human beings having babies at the same rate they used to have babies?” Kelly asked.
“It appears to be a worldwide problem. What’s the problem?” Kelly asked.
“I think the fact that it is worldwide makes it much harder to pin on the source that you and I are both more than happy to blame, which is feminism,” Inez said.
“The feminist culture is part of the dropping birthrate, but obviously, there is a larger component. When you see the birthrate dropping in the Middle East, for example, I have a hard time imagining that feminism is the primary culprit there,” Inez continued.
“I think it is one of the most important questions that we can confront, but there isn’t a clear answer,” Inez said.
“A lot of people want to blame it on economics. But the fact is that during the great depression, people were still having babies,” Inez said.
“We seem to have lost our fundamental drive as a species and our confidence at replicating both our civilization and ourselves,” Inez explained.
“The reasons for the problems are probably different from country to country,” Kelly said.
“The numbers say that right-wingers they are getting married and they are making babies. Left-wingers have simply removed themselves from that pool almost entirely. Why?” Kelly asked.
“I think the values and the way that you see life obviously affects the decisions that you make about your family,” Inez said.
Inez explained that there are an increasing amount of older, childless women and that their politics is usually more to the left.
“There are simply a lot more single childless women hitting 40, 45 than there used to be. There is the highest in recorded American history,” Inez explained
“Not only are they not having babies, they also have wildly different politics than the rest of America,” Inez said.
