    If it turns out that infertility is the only problem, it might not be bad. We already go to great lengths socially to scare anyone young enough to have children into thinking it is the most horrible life choice they can possibly make. Once they are of geriatric children rearing age, then we finally tell them it’s okay if they choose to have one, but by then it is often too late.

        I posted about microplastics reducing sperm levels like 8 years ago on Reddit and my post got mocked like if I was a MRA and that if they did, it was a good thing because world overpopulation. So yeah, these people exist.

        Well, naturally. What would be gained from posting something that is hinged? That which is hinged has nothing left to talk about. Discussion fundamentally can only take place around that which is unhinged.

          You don’t open the proverbial door of discussion by removing its proverbial hinges.

            Agreed. Once the proverbial door of discussion closes, it’s best left there. Again, what value would there be in reopening discussion? Once the door is hung, there is nothing left to talk about.

            Discussion fundamentally can only take place around that which is unhinged.
