Ugh, we shouldn't condemn something for being something Nazis did. Hitler liked dogs, doesn't make it wrong.
I don't approve of natalism. Some natalists are driven by white-replacement cringe theory. Some are just inexplicably concerned about population decline. (I still don't understand why.)
Fuck this medal though. It's going to help make people think women are only good for one thing.
population decline is incredibly problematic… demographic crises can literally lead to the collapse of a society in a slow enough manner that it’s kinda difficult for people to see coming unless they know what to look for
i’d highly recommend the recent kurzgesagt video about south korea
The U.S. has/d very high immigration rates, which counters many problems of population decline.
seems like that might reduce pretty damn fast very soon
Offering a medal for baby making while erasing women's achievements in science and leadership is definitely sending a message.
