Tragic. The figure for 2023 represented a 10.56% increase in abortions from the previous year.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Today’s ‘Times’, front page article by Eleanor Hayward: “Cost of Big Families Drives Abortions to Record High.”
It’s actually old news. https://www.bpas.org/about-bpas/press-office/press-releases/rising-cost-of-living-drives-record-abortion-rate/
Oh, for the days when a male salary could support a mortgage, put a roof over the head of a family, with sufficient residual disposable income to raise children in comparative security, stability and comfort. Men & women depended on one another, and played to our strengths.
But, women who couldn’t attract men were miserable. From the fringes of society, they beckoned to women to come join them in the workplace, with false promises of freedom from ‘oppression’. Double the workforce, jobs are taken from men, or salaries are halved. Gain ‘independence’ from men, twice the number of houses are required, asset prices double. Birth rates drop, abortion rates rise. The ‘liberated’ female preference for rotating monogamy leads to ‘blended families’, where no-one is quite sure who is related to who. Arranging ‘family’ Christmas celebration becomes a nightmare. Who should be invited? Men are expected to work themselves to death (as ever), but now to raise the children of other men, as well as their own. It’s not an enticing deal.
“The nuclear family must be destroyed,” said Linda Gordon.
OK, Linda. Quo vadis?

Thanks cp. I took out my first mortgage in around 1983, a married man yet to have kids. I believe that in real terms property (and therefrore rents) are today at least three times as expensive as they were then. A deliberate anti-male and anti-family reality.

Mine was 1982, with my marital and familial status just as yours.
Today, my elder son (aged 40) is attempting to extricate himself from a mortgage for the second time. First fiancee (2008) financially abusive. He moved to Oxford to be with present (now recently ex-) fiancee in 2020, kept his job in Kent. Covid seemed to do him a favour, he could work from home three days a week. But, even the two days of commuting got to him. He quit his job for one in Oxford, which didn’t pay so well, and had less status. She immediately left him.
Meanwhile, our younger son (aged 37) is moping because a divorcee (4 kids, two different fathers) has ended their relationship. I honestly don’t know whether to be sad for his present depression, or happy that he’s probably dodged a bullet before he got in too deep.
I’ve got no grandchildren. Those of recognisable lineage are probably becoming rare prizes for most men.
Women least affected.

Well rather like the strange reluctance to consider the way that there massive over representation of lesbians in women’s sports. There is an odd disinterest in the fact that so many of the leading lights of feminism were and are lesbians. Indeed the feminists of both sexes in the annals of feminism were/are entirely odd in all sorts of ways, usually promiscuous, bisexual and obsessive. At its most simple level one wonders why anyone would want to follow the prescriptions for life from people whose actual lives were/are train wrecks or at best pretty bizarre.
Its not really about the lesbianism, because in my “lived experience” lesbians tend to be more “masculine” or at least understandable than many heterosexual females. Certainly less liable to play games and be more direct in their dealings. But that this and the litany of bizarre and mentally unstable features of their lives made/makes them extremely unlikely to understand much at all about the majority of humanity, men certainly and women in general too.
Given that so much of feminist writing and “theory” relies not on data but the “lived experience” of people whose lives were/are remote from the overwhelming majority of their contemporaries. It is unsurprising it produces mayhem. Abortion being an example of this.
For this ideology bypasses the realty that there is reliable widely available and now well established birth control, rationally there should be few “unwanted” pregnancies. As David Steele fully expected. Yet an ideology of “me first” (and in fact there is only “me”) and ignorant and often hostile to biology and sexual reproduction gives an absolution to those who choose to end lives. And absolution that is so unrealistic and fragile that even an unassuming woman in silent prayer hundreds of yards from an abortion clinic is arrested. Perhaps a touching sign that our Police believe in the power of prayer! But in reality an attempt to protect the women from anything that might touch their conscience. After all all the research in fact show most women eventually regret the decision. Few in reality can exercise “the right to choose” without facing the responsibility no matter the admonitions, one thinks of Lily Allen “one thinks she protests too much” Of course she can remember each abortion and as she ages, however much she tries to forget.
All the articles that boil down to the difficulties women find in finding a mate and having a child/ren reflecting their belief in ideologues who never wanted either, or rather whose contrary, chaotic lives, proclivities and choices made it impossible. A testament to following madness and expecting sanity.
