I have a theory that's a bit wild but I'm not sure it's entirely relevant.
I feel like a big part of it is an unintended consequence of birth control.
And please I am 100% for birth control mind you!
But my generation of people are waiting much longer to have kids, having far less children and many are opting out completely. Particularly these gender ideology groups.
I think this huge gap creates gaps of knowledge and understanding of our biology and how it has shaped our culture.
Take for example back in the day many women were encouraged to create textiles, learn to sew or do activists that would help them contribute to society in a way that didn't involve a great deal of physical activity. Those activities were saved for men.
It is easy for us to consider this unfair in our day and age and even sexist.
My young 20's self definitely agreed this was sexist. Until I got pregnant at 31 and was forced to think about it more deeply.
The thing I didn't know about were the dreaded consequences of the pregnancy hormone relaxin. It competely wrecked my body. I was so weak my back would hurt after walking for five minutes.It took me two years to bounce back partially because of the time consuming demands of breastfeeding. Something someone could not have explained to my young self even if they tried.
Back then women were pregnant almost constantly. What were you going to do in a "not sexist" society? Encourage them to go hunting while pregnant or postpartum?
Also is it fair to allow a young girl to learn a male activity when you know it's likely she will have little to no time to enjoy it as an adult and could be learning something she could likely learn to enjoy that she could do as an adult? These times weren't sexist they were just impacted very differently by our female biology!
There is also the increasingly lowering tolerance of children in a post birth control society. I see many people my age debating about whether or not it's selfish to have children. For my parents generation it was very much the opposite. Not only was parenthood praised and celebrated it was considered the most selfless thing you can do!
Children are increasingly not tolerated by adults in public because quite frankly we are just seeing less and less of them so when they do encounter them they don't know how to cope like they used to. I remember when landlords hated pets and loved families with children. Now landlords hate children and love couples with pets.
So is it really a wonder that there are more and more people that are extremely disconnected from our natural bodies and how they work?
