A good example would be the astonishing drop in birth rates in post-Soviet countries. Capitalism, by providing no safety nets, no childcare and no community, makes it very difficult and undesirable to have children.
Plenty of countries have worked hard to provide those things and still have declining birth rates. This take, ignores a lot of the agency that women have won through feminist activism
Famously feminist paradises like modern Russia, Poland or Ukraine you mean? Don’t make me laugh, the drops in fertility rates in such countries aren’t due to feminism, women now have less rights than 35 years ago in said countries.
I was talking about Sweden, Finland and Canada. Not saying they are prefect, but i am saying that an increase in rights doesn’t correspond to an increase in fertility
You’re the one who connected falling birth rates to safety nets, childcare and community. I was simply providing evidence that those things don’t necessarily translate to an increase in birth rates as might be expected

All of those countries are capitalist, though, how do they invalidate my point about post-Soviet countries?
