I was listening to the radio the other day and it came out with a report that Ireland has the oldest age for women giving birth in the EU, at 30. We also happen to have the highest birth rate in Europe.
Isn't it kinda strange that this country has as many 25 year olds as 35 year olds giving birth for the first time, but still having the most kids? I think that's a problem.
"Sex positive" feminists will talk about how promiscuity "causes no harm" and "what do YOU care about how other people fuck?", as if the whole thing is harmless fun. I don't agree, I think it hurts the Nation (and almost all Western nations).
I'm quite left-wing and not very /pol/r9k/ but I do think that the hook-up culture of teens/20-somethings is gross and harmful to families. I think this whole "fuck buddy" culture results in the average young person having zero skills in what it is like to be in a relationship, yet after a few years they get the idea that they need to "settle down", but these relationships fail because they have no experience (look at the divorce rate, in a worst-case scenario, this will result in a child).
Exactly because of this "who cares?" sex culture, the age of being a parent is artificially extended. Like all skills, social skills are something that need to be worked on, and requires regular effort to become adequate at. Relationships are no different, someone who spent their entire youth fucking random strangers will have a difficult time adjusting to life in a relationship, and co-habitating with a significant other will just cause most frustrations.
What do you think, /fem/? Does a former clubslut have the potential to be a good parent? Is the past TRULY the past?
