If the woman earns little or no money, yes. Regardless, none of this pertains to the traditional lifestyle JJ seems to be advocating for. Middle and upper class women in the olden days of the United States usually kept busy and had active social lives, but they rarely earned money. Imagine an 18-year-old girl who today graduates high school says she just wants to get married as soon as possible, start having kids, and never hold down a money-making job of any kind. We might think she was crazy. Degenerate. A drag on society. Yet this type of young woman was absolutely the foundation of the past versions of American society that JJ seems to want us to aspire to.

Imagine your stereotypical single mother who is really struggling financially who would certainly choose abortion if she got pregnant again. Imagine she actually had that first kid at age 16. Do you really look at the woman you're imagining and say, "She should have just stayed with the guy who knocked her up at age 16." Or do you really say, "She could have waited a year or two, but what she really needed to do was get hitched to a financially independent male by age 18, then everything would have gone fine for her."

The law of unintended consequences in that if you want to encourage 18 year old girls to marry up and start making babies, 16 year old girls will also be encouraged the same way. Let's consider three, and they are all 16. One already got knocked up. Should she marry the guy who did it? The other is still a virgin but she wants to have sex with her 16 year old boyfriend. They are both in love and want to get married and have kids right away. But of course he has no money and has completed no education, not yet anyhow. Should they get married and start reproducing? The third is also a virgin and a financially independent 24 year old man has expressed an interest in her. What should she do? Is "I don't want to finish high school and I just want to be a mom" a commendable choice for any of them?

Obviously I didn't understand what you're trying to advocate for here. Can you explain it again? I mean I noticed you advocated for 12 year old boys of middling means to become apprentices, typically that would last 7 years, so they'd be 19, with a guild license, and ready to get into a socially sanctioned marriage with a 14 year old girl. Is that what you actually want to go back to? We're mixing up a lot of time periods here and I don't think you actually want to go back to any of them. You know why society keeps extending the age of childhood and allowing earlier and earlier retirement, right? It's not big government. It's just mechanization and automation.

On average women make more than men until they are 35 years old. For women to view men as suitable long term partners they want guys that make around 50% more than them. That math doesn't work! Right now. We designed a system to waste guys time. If the goal is to become an economically attractive man with a family the displacement of men till their mid thirties is a recipe for disaster. I'm not being charged for these strawmen am I? We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
