Having a lot of single childless people is not good for society.

I was wondering why this comment was downvoted, and realized that it’s probably because of the “childless” bit, which is a pretty conservative attitude.

But there is an important point here. People who are in a healthy family and have dependents don’t do things like suicide bomb or go on mass shootings. Those are the acts of desperate, miserable men.

I’m not advocating nuclear families, but when I hear about the insane gender disparity in places like China, I worry.
