Calls to Raise the Birth Rate Are Rapist Rhetoric in Disguise

The Trump administration’s push to increase the U.S. birth rate isn’t just a horrible policy, but it's misogynistic, rapist rhetoric.

When leaders frame reproduction as an economic or demographic “problem,” what they’re really doing is demanding that women become breeding slaves for men's interests. They're trying to create the dystopia of The Handmaid’s Tale in real time.

There is no population crisis. The world is overcrowded, climate-stressed, and economically unjust. More births won’t fix that, they'll just make it worse. The world literally has the highest population it has ever had, yet greedy men still talk about increasing the population even more.

Refuse their bribes. Reject their control. Don’t marry, don’t give birth, and don't interact with men online. Go 4B. Your body is not their solution.
