Yknow, maybe if we just stay out off all these politics, these people we don't like will kill off their female population and we won't have to worry about them.
If only... The opposite seems to be true. The Islamic World as a whole is growing very fast in population. Islam is also the fastest growing religion. Scary, eh?...
I guess when you have your women on a leash, your culture breeds faster.
Regardless, one can only hope that the reformers and Westernizers will eventually prevail among the Muslims. Otherwise, we're in for a lot more trouble in the near future.

The primary issue is level of development. In a primarily agrarian society, female children are a burden.

Because they are just like the hippies. They find it easier to bite the hand that feeds them then to bite the hand that slaps their friends.

Some feminists have their head screwed on the right way, but most are just man-hating feminazis.
eg. Many years ago feminists here used to protest any field of employment where men outnumbered women. Now, just under 90% of new teachers are women. Do you see feminists waving their "equal rights" banners around? HELL NO! Why? Because they're not interested in equal rights after all, they just hate men.

If you look at the 10 year growth, even though muslims only make up 13%, the growth was 36%! I noticed that reading it today, and no shit that India has had an islamic problem and anti-muslim riots for so long now, they're on the rise just like everywhere else.
Scary indeed.
Looks like they also have the lowest literacy rate and work participation rate....

Agree with you completely on this one, Pubic. One reason for women's wages being different than a man's in the same field is that women typically take breaks from the career world for children. Of course they're wages won't grow as much as the guy in the same job because he's getting raises while she's with the kids. Not rocket science but the feminazis still attribute it to a male conspiracy against women.Pubic wrote:

Good point... I'm not saying Islamic countries are the only ones with a population growth problem.Elamdri wrote:

Good points... The only point on wages that I agree with feminists on is that starting wages still tend to be higher for men than women. Your explanation of raises makes sense, but it doesn't make sense that women usually get paid less from the beginning.Stingray24 wrote:

lowest literacy and employment rates? This is a very interesting statistic. i bet you that this is one major contributor to rise of violence and i'm talking about all sides. in fact, here is an interesting paper i came across related to the Indian Hindu-Muslim riots (among other things) that purports to link violence to large numbers of young disaffected/uneducated/unemployed malesMekstizzle wrote:

here's the abstract:
This paper attempts to go beyond recent cross-national studies to assess possible subnational
effects of population pressure on violent political conflict. Propositions that
violent conflict may be associated with high population pressure on renewable natural
resources, with youth bulges and with differential growth rates between ethnic and
religious groups are tested in a time-series study of 27 Indian states for the period of
1956-2002. The study analyzes the relationship between population pressure and three
different and independently collected datasets on political violence in India,
measuring armed conflict, political violence events and Hindu-Muslim riots. It utilizes
the abundance of disaggregated demographic, socioeconomic and environmental data
for India to test more detailed aspects of the population pressure hypotheses than can
be assessed for a global sample of states. The results generally provide more support
for the resource scarcity and conflict scenario than recent global studies, supporting
claims that the scarcity-violence nexus may be better studied at a sub-national level.
Scarcity of productive land is associated with higher risks of political violence,
particularly when interacting with high rural population growth and low agricultural
yield. Other central aspects of the resource scarcity scenario are not supported:
structural scarcity, measured by rural inequality, as well as high urbanization rates are
not associated with higher levels of political violence. The study further suggests that
youth bulges appear to increase the risk of all three forms of political violence,
especially in states with great male surpluses. Youth bulges, when coinciding with
high levels of urban inequality, is the only form of demographic pressure to
statistically increase the risk of Hindu-Muslim rioting. Finally, there is some
indication that relatively high Hindu growth rates are positively related to armed
conflict, while religious heterogeneity in itself appears to be unrelated to political
violence in India.
