It's not a top hundred German topic, and I doubt if any working-class Germans would get peppy on the subject, but in recent weeks....this intellectual topic of 'not having kids' to save the climate, has come out in women's intellectual circles, within Germany. I don't think the topic started here, but it simply got picked up and passed around.
So the idea goes this way.....less kids equals protecting the environment, and thus saving the world.
A guy's topic? No. It a feminist topic, and outside the circle of working-class women.
Where does this chatter go? You go into a university environment and find that intellectual young women will have this presented to them as a serious topic, and probably a quarter of them will get seriously attached to the subject, believing that they can save the world....just by avoiding having kids.
So you imagine this path, and what comes out of this.
The young lady wraps up her university years, and enters the work atmosphere. In her mid to late 20s.....she wants a social environment and dating. Up front, she wants to put this childless goal to the new guy, which will invite an response.....which most will say, that's not the kind of future I think about. So that guy up and disappears.
Months go by, and a second guy emerges on the scene. Same story.....same response.
Mid-30s come.....another guy or two.....same story, and same response.
Somewhere around age forty, this intellectual woman has reached some stage where she's a bit lonely and now questioning her dedication to the environmental idea of no kids. In simple terms, she's going to some mental health doctor about depression-related issues, and he zeroes in on her lack of a relationship, or the lack of kids. Then suddenly, hundreds of German doctors will come out with some trend 'disorder'....all relating back to intellectual women who made a decision in 2019/2020, and went through twenty-odd years of conviction.
I'm not going to suggest this is crazy, but I can suggest the end-result in twenty years.
