Claim: Unwanted children the "fundamental cause of climate change"

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

Feminist icon Gloria Steinem thinks coercing women to have children they don’t want is the fundamental cause of climate change.

People argue that climate change and other issues are also feminist issues. What do we lose by broadening the meaning of the term?

“Are you kidding me? Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have. That’s the fundamental cause of climate change. Even if the Vatican doesn’t tell us that. In addition to that, because women are the major agricultural workers in the world, and also the carriers of water and the feeders of families and so on, it’s a disproportionate burden.”

Climate advocates are often (though not always) population control advocates. Unborn children are an easy target for the population control freaks – they can’t defend themselves.

So all we have to do is get women to want the children they have and the climate will change?!?!?!?

Of course it’s not unwanted children that caused climate change, it’s the penis! That’s right according to the scientific paper “The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct” published in the peer-reviewed journal Cogent Social Sciences. To quote from the paper:
“The conceptual penis presents significant problems for gender identity and reproductive identity within social and family dynamics,… and is the conceptual driver behind much of climate change.”
If you don’t believe it, read it yourself

No. The real cause of warming is the excess of hot air generated by politicians and others constantly calling for more control.

Leftists’ anti-human ideologies, especially their war on motherhood, will be their demise.
Currently, 48% of the world’s population (3.3 billion souls) live in countries with fertllity rates below 2.1 children/family, which is required to maintain population growth.
To offset this reality, Leftist European political hacks have orchestrated a massive invasion of 3rd-world “refugees” (aka future welfare-state Leftist party voters) into Europe, assuring the eventual extinction of Western Civilization…
At this moment, it’s estimated that there are 6 MILLION “refugees” waiting in North African coastal cities to illegally invade Europe this summer… Oh, goody..
——————————————————————
Numerous overpopulated countries, with little to no resources left for them to live on and capitalize on, depraved and deprived for centuries, trying to escape to western countries.
China, India, North Africa, Middle East, Philippines, South East Asia, Mexico, Central America, N Korea’s….
How long will it take to inundate the west, too?
What about statements like this recently from Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish president.
‘You Are the Future of Europe,’ Erdogan Tells Turks’

“Make not three, but five children. Because you are the future of Europe. That will be the best response to the injustices against you.”

Westerners have been practicing birth control since the 60’s, Preservation of planetary resources I thought.

Does the current Catholic Pope know of that?

Never mind that the males are out hunting for food, digging dugouts, building shelters, herding grazing animals, and fighting off dishonest tribes.
(She left out spinning wool and making clothes, and tending to barnyard livestock.
And the poor children – child labour.)
Steinem is sick.

Oh, right climate alarmists don’t want pets, don’t want domestic animals.

The fairytales haven’t offered many interesting roles for women, Gloria. There are princesses, mothers, fairy godmothers, evil stepmothers and wicked witches. What else? Nothing really. The same stuff – just blaming others for the shortcomings – and only proving the point of the fairytales.
And what’s your role in all this? You fit in the stereotypes straight away, bang on and in public. Your latest is openly right there with Sanderson sisters and the mature nameless women in Hansel and Gretel. And how do you think it’s helping your fellow sisters?
