I am a man, which means I am a potential target of hatred for any woman in the world, for the simple fact that I have a penis and not a vagina. As a member of the "patriarchy," I apparently have no right to say anything on any subject, because—ALWAYS APPARENTLY—women are always right about everything (we all know this isn't true, but let’s move past it).
Today I want to challenge the system. Today I really feel like making women on the internet angry and accepting the role of the villain that the modern narrative has already assigned to me. How to achieve this incredible goal? By writing about how a woman should live her own life. No man nowadays is "stupid" enough to do such a thing, and it is probably the last thing I should do. And yet, I am doing it anyway. It is absolutely necessary to talk about it, because women are condemning humanity to die or live in hardship. Because of female self-determination, the entire system is collapsing, and everyone (men and women) will pay the consequences. We have a demographic crisis, and it is the cost of women's freedom.
Today a woman enjoys the freedom to dispose of her own body (the mantra of "my body, my choice"). She has the right to self-determine, to decide her own identity, and even to reject the dualism between being a mother and being a woman. Well, we must have the courage to say that this female independence, as it is exercised today, is one of the determining factors leading the world toward the abyss.
The problem is only one. This self-determination is stripping the world of the possibility of renewing itself, because women do not want to have children. The planet is aging, and we do not have an adequate generational replacement.
Paradoxically, having transformed a mandatory biological task into a subjective option is killing humanity. I’m fine with you thinking I’m someone who hates women. I’m only sorry that you don't want to accept the reality of the facts. I am just a pragmatist who doesn't want to see the system collapse because a woman prefers to become rich instead of a mother. It is not a matter of morality; it is a matter of balance: a system with zero "human input" is a system destined for technical failure.
Don't believe me? Fine, let's take a little tour of the modern economy and see if the hatred for my gender is stronger than your fear of ending up in poverty.
Demographic Crisis: The Cost of Female Freedom.
Pensions.
Let's start with the giant elephant in the room. A person works for more than 40 years. From age 20 until 65 or 70, you break your back to earn the right to freedom and to have a pension that should guarantee a dignified old age. Unfortunately, we see all too often how politics tends to raise the retirement age or cut pensions. We all cry out about "corrupt politics" when the real enemy is in a skirt, high heels, and spends 12 hours a day in the office.
But how does this pension mechanism actually work?
The entire social security system rests on the "generational pact": the contributions paid today by young people are not put into a vault for their future but are used immediately to pay the pensions of those already retired. The system only works if there are enough young people to pay for the elderly. The question now should be only one: how many young people are needed to support one elderly person? Mathematics says that for stability, a ratio of at least 2 to 1 is needed. This means that every woman should bring at least two children into the world just to keep the system in static equilibrium. Since we want a system that grows and allows for better pensions year after year (or generation after generation), it would take at least three children.
At this point, there is a second question: How are we doing? How many children are produced per couple? Look at the reality of Europe and North America in 2026. In Europe, the average fertility rate has dropped to 1.34. This means that, on average, every woman brings little more than one child into the world. We are dramatically far from the rate of 2.1 children per woman necessary for simple generational replacement. The USA has also hit historic lows: the growth of the active population is at a standstill, while the elderly population is exploding at rates of 13%.
What do these numbers mean? That in the near future, for every worker, there will be only one other worker to pay the pension of one elderly person. With a 1:1 ratio, labor taxation would theoretically have to double to maintain current services. This would kill the economy: a worker would have to support themselves, their own family, the state, and an entire retiree with just their salary. If you think the drama is far off, you are wrong. The drama is already here: extremely high fiscal pressure and service cuts, just to sustain an elderly population that, thanks to medical progress, receives a pension for ten years longer than when these systems were designed. A woman might now say, "Well, couldn't the worker invest? It’s not our fault if men are poor." Yes, please explain to me what money he should invest if his entire salary goes toward paying for services, another retiree, and you women—since in a relationship it is we men who pay for everything, while you don't shell out a cent? It's easy for you: you have your entire salary at your disposal because someone else provides for you, given that it’s "normal" for a man to pay for everything while the woman enjoys her own money however she wants.
If every woman had at least two children, young people wouldn't see their contributions skyrocket and the elderly would have the certainty of a covered check. But since, for a woman, becoming a mother of multiple children is often seen as a personal humiliation, this will never happen. A woman is ready to sacrifice all of humanity just to avoid fulfilling her biological and social task.
Immigration.
Even mass immigration is a direct product of female self-determination. Do you think I've gone mad? No, it’s simple human resource management on a national scale.
The pension and labor systems must function; making them fail is not an option. This means a specific number of people is required to work, produce, and pay taxes and contributions. At this historical moment, women are not doing their part: they are not creating those future workers of whom the state has an absolute and vital need.
What do you do when internal resources are lacking? Do you let the economy collapse and let the elderly starve without a pension? No, that’s not a luxury one can afford. To patch up this demographic crater, the state is forced to look for a workforce elsewhere, incentivizing immigration. Yes, that very same immigration that many hate because it brings with it problems of public order and cultural clashes.
Let's be honest: uncontrolled immigration often brings degradation and insecurity, but we wouldn't have these problems if we had enough boys and girls in our schools ready to occupy the positions that retirees leave vacant. Does a woman feel insecure on the street today because there are too many foreigners? Great. Instead of blaming law enforcement, who do what is necessary, one should understand how to eliminate the problem at its root. A state would have no need to "import" foreigners or spend billions to militarize the streets if it had enough citizens. The truth is simple: the insecurity that women perceive today is the price they pay for the "freedom" of not being mothers yesterday.
Of course, one can say, "Well, that's not true! Immigrant violence isn't my fault! If it were controlled, there wouldn't be problems!" Yes, but for what reason must a state risk bringing a foreigner into my home, saddling me with the risk of death (because any immigrant could become dangerous later), when everything could be safer and more controlled if only women accepted that part of their being that they hate to the core?
Consumption.
Then there is the problem of consumption. A society grows only if people buy: there is no other way to generate real wealth. For the economy to turn, there must literally be people who exist, work, and spend. These people do not appear out of nowhere like mushrooms. We know human biology and we know how nature works: being mammals, women must get pregnant and give birth to ensure that the consumers and producers of tomorrow exist. It would be convenient to be like reptiles, laying eggs and leaving the man with the task of fertilizing them externally; if it were like that, we wouldn't have problems, because a woman could "create" ten children a year without facing nine months of gestation and the trauma of childbirth. But reality is different.
A woman who decides today not to have children condemns the economy to a perpetual recession. When there is a lack of those who demand a good—that is, when demand drops drastically—consumption decreases, companies suffer, and consequently, they close. It is a collective defeat, which also hits hard those women who proudly say, "I am first and foremost a career woman."
Too bad that career only exists as long as the economic structure holds up. If human beings are lacking, services are cut and the entire business ecosystem, which today allows for self-determination, vanishes into thin air. Without new citizens, female independence becomes merely the freedom to fail in a deserted market. What do you prefer? To be the leader of a failing company or a woman who contributes to a flourishing society?
Of course, you can think that immigration solves the problem, allowing you to stay comfortably in your office. Too bad you are then the same ones who are afraid to leave the house alone, complaining that "immigrants attack women." Is it really worth exercising your gender independence if you are no longer free to exercise it outside the walls of your own home?
Investments.
Let's talk about facts, not feelings. Imagine you are workers, and you are investing in real estate or finance. You take this step because you hope the value of the investment will grow and that you will have access in the future to a sum greater than what was invested, effectively bypassing the problem of few births and a dying society. But value grows only if demand exceeds supply. Now imagine a world where the population decreases drastically because women have stopped procreating. We don't even need to imagine it, as we have it right before our eyes. The consequences will be devastating for everyone, even for those women seeking financial security, investing in some asset, and hoping for an economic return.
If you invest in brick and mortar, but there is no new generation that wants to buy a house, the price crashes. If the population decreases because a corporate climb was preferred over motherhood, who will buy your properties in twenty years? No one. Therefore, women who have invested in real estate will also lose money. The value of their savings, invested in property, will plummet. This isn't a threat; it's the law of the market. Without generational replacement, we are building ghost towns.
The same applies to financial assets. Giants like Apple or Amazon give dividends only if they have profits, and profits exist only if there is someone to buy their products. If human beings are lacking the ability to buy what is offered, even the most aggressive "businesswomen" will end up in misery. Self-determination and the gender struggle so dear to today's women are literally burning the candle at both ends. But many women don't seem to care about this: they think an office full of "self-determined" female colleagues can compensate for the physical absence of a new generation.
But the State?
At this point, an enraged woman might scream, "Well, but the state doesn't give us the opportunities to have children!" It's true, but only to a certain point. It must be admitted that today there is no state structure that truly favors natality and that salaries are often not adequate to raise a child with dignity. This is not up for debate: the state must do its part.
But let's do a thought experiment. Let's hypothesize that the state does everything asked of it: free nurseries, massive tax breaks, total job protections, flexible hours, smart working, and infinite subsidies. In this scenario, a woman would no longer have obstacles, right? She would have the money, the structures, and the time. If she also had a partner, the tasks would be divided and her career wouldn't be sacrificed.
Here, however, mathematics intervenes, and it is ruthless: to straighten the demographic curve and reverse the decline, an average of three children per woman would be needed. Quick question: how many women would be willing to get pregnant three times? Almost none. The reasons are varied: from the fear of physical changes to the mental fear of "missing the train" at work. And this is where the system collapses. The math says "three per woman": if one decides to have only one, thinking she's done her duty, another must have five to maintain the necessary average.
The problem isn't just the "courage" to face three pregnancies. The issue is linked to pure ideological selfishness. Today the mantra dominates: "I am a woman first, then maybe a mother." A woman often avoids motherhood not for lack of money—celebrities have millions but often stop at one child or none—but because she doesn't want motherhood to define her. Many feel "adequate" only when they compete with men in the job market, convinced they are useless if they don't have a job that makes them independent.
With the modern feminist mentality, it doesn't matter how much a state invests in natality: a woman will still prefer to spend her time on her career and her money on consumer goods, rather than guaranteeing the continuity of the species. And if someone retorts that "men should also think about saving humanity," the answer is obvious: how? A man cannot give birth. How can a man in power save the world if the new human beings are missing?
Women seem willing to condemn humanity to live under a bridge rather than admit the reality: their function is, first of all, the irreplaceable biological pillar of civilization. Everything else—the fight against the patriarchy, the career, the independence—comes after. But if there is no "before," the "after" simply will not exist.
Small Reflections.
We have arrived at the reckoning. We can continue to tell ourselves the fairy tale that a woman's identity is a purely spiritual matter, detached from biology, but the reality is a company going bankrupt.
The paradox is tragic: women fought for decades to win the right not to be "only mothers," to climb hierarchies, to accumulate wealth, and to self-determine. But by an irony of fate, it is precisely this absolute freedom that is destroying the foundations of the world in which that very freedom is exercised. Without a new generation to support the weight of this structure, female independence becomes a house of cards that collapses at the first breath of demographic wind.
It’s not hatred; it’s logic. You cannot be "business women" in a ghost society. You cannot be "free women" in a state that fails because it no longer has citizens.
So, dear readers, the next time you claim your right to "not be defined by motherhood," look around you. Look at your investments losing value, your taxes rising, and the system creaking. You are trading the future of humanity for an office on the top floors that in twenty years will have no one left to clean the windows nor anyone to pay the rent to be in it.
The system is collapsing. And it’s not the fault of the patriarchy. It is the fault of a choice: that of having put individual ego above collective survival. You wanted to be free? Here it is: you are free to be the last ones to turn off the light in a world you decided not to let be born.
