This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
This is a common retort, but I don't think it's nearly as good a 'gotcha' as it seems at first glance.
I grant you the entire underlying premise here: let's say pregnancy, childbirth et cetera really is so plain fuckin' awful that women won't go through with it in required numbers unless coerced, and any man with empathy ought to shut his pie hole about this whole demography thing. I won't contest it at all. You win that round.
It seems to me, however, that the most relevant part of the preceding idea, is unless coerced and ought. Well, not everyone does as they ought, and there are still men in the world who do not shy away from coercing women. And wouldn't you know it – their countries also have exceptionally high fertility! Afghanistan for example has a current fertility rate of around 4 children per women. That's enough for a continued quite impressive growth well into the 22th century, and the Talibans are showing no signs of giving up. Indeed, the official position of the Taliban government is that contraceptives and feminism are a Western plot to destroy the country – and if we grant you your premise they are absolutely correct and will indeed win out in the long run: longer if we're lucky, shorter if we're not. The Afghan goat-herder inherits the Earth while the last European lies whittling away in a retirement home because he took your advice and didn't complain.
I honestly don't see how you get around these implications without resorting to artifical wombs or some similar sci-fi tech, and this view on female psychology and willpower is damning, well beyond the most extreme misogynist positions I have ever heard espoused. Given that, I think I'll keep complaining.
