Well, by definition despots are into curtailing EVERYONE's rights, no?Why d'you suppose despots of all stripes - military, theological, economic and political - curtail women's rights?

Oh, yes, in a way that's true. But they're usually generous to some favoured groups, elevate some favoured persons, set factions, races, classes or ethic blocs against others; while rich old male bigots (of a colour matching the despot's) might not even notice that their rights and freedoms were infringed, young poor women (any colour) might feel the boot heavy on their backs. And in their ribs, too, if they dare to speak out.Well, by definition despots are into curtailing EVERYONE's rights, no?
Perhaps you could consider how a catastrophic global economic melt down would effect those in power. ( like much worse than the great depression of 1930's)Oh, yes, in a way that's true. But they're usually generous to some favoured groups, elevate some favoured persons, set factions, races, classes or ethic blocs against others; while rich old male bigots (of a colour matching the despot's) might not even notice that their rights and freedoms were infringed, young poor women (any colour) might feel the boot heavy on their backs. And in their ribs, too, if they dare to speak out.
And it stands to reason: the more babies the lower class can't afford, the easier they are to intimidate. Surplus population provides cheap labour, plenty of discontented yobs to rally against the designated scapegoat, and assured generations of cannon-fodder.
I have. You know they've all got inland, uphill, walled, solar-powered fortresses, right? You know they can't make anything in those fortresses work, right? They have a troop of well-paid minions to cook, clean, wash clothes, haul water up the mountain and guard the periphery.Perhaps you could consider how a catastrophic global economic melt down would effect those in power.
That's the least of it. Industry, energy-generation, transport, distribution, banking - the whole system grinds to a messy, piecemeal halt. Might take a year for all currency to become garbage.Example: Telco bankruptcy means no internet, no internet means no communication for businesses, means no digital sales, means no money transfers and so on...
You go on ignore, at this point I must assume you are a poorly programmed bot. I shudder to think that you are actually a person.is the Earth still suitable to live?
shouldn't we also consider other species survival too?
Agreed there. Generally despots favor people like them - and despots are generally male.Oh, yes, in a way that's true.

Yep. Which is one reason I tend to support charities that focus on women's education. More educated women = fewer unwanted kids.And it stands to reason: the more babies the lower class can't afford, the easier they are to intimidate.
Why? We never have. We've already taken out a large chunk of the ecosystem. Species are going extinct at 1000 times the pre-enlightenment [*sic] rate, and the extinctions are accelerating. We've killed some 75% of flying insects in the last half century alone, and incidentally millions of songbirds and small reptiles that subsist on insects and larvae, along with crop-dusting, habitat loss and the semi-annual carnage of city lights. Lately, we've added large-scale oil spills and plastic pollution to decimate marine life....shouldn't we also consider other species survival too?
Something will survive. Ants are pretty much guaranteed to keep truckin'. For next dominant species, my money is on rats, though my heart is with the raccoons. Maybe they'll collaborate.is the Earth still suitable to live?
Is Saint person?You go on ignore, at this point I must assume you are a poorly programmed bot. I shudder to think that you are actually a person.
Best solution there - educate women. Educating women lowers the birthrate, increases the odds of any specific birth being successful, improves overall family outcomes and reduces the effects of extremism.
Perhaps just tell them to ignore said imbeciles . . .And hang every imbecile who tells them not to use condoms!
Perhaps just tell them to ignore said imbeciles . . .
Or if they can't ignore them, use another method. Not all women are free to demand such things.
okWe could stop inviting said imbeciles to participate in global affairs and stop our governments from donating money to their various sponsors or letting private donations go tax free.
ok
I'll bite
How are you gonna do that?
Me, neither - since I haven't had any in 40 years.And hang every imbecile who tells them not to use condoms! Without curbing global population growth there's no point to cutting back on anything else, unless we plan on telling third world citizens to f--- off and eat their own children when they're starving. I don't plan on cutting my meat intake by so much as a gram regardless.

It's the "regardless" I find particularly off-putting.

No no no and noThe Earth belongs to plants and animals too, humans are not the owner.
Humans shall be responsible for environmental damage caused by industrial pollution.
