Interesting numbers, especially compared to the OECD ones

The next big question is "Are they actually moving?"

Western collapse of patriarchy, annals of…
If, as the article says, the overturn of the constitutional protection of abortions wasn't the greatest causing factor towards a desire to leave the country, what does this demographic seek to gain in other countries such as Canada? Popular problems such as the housing and employment crises are only worse in our northern neighbors.
I can't imagine why, especially when I saw an honest discussion earlier today about the benefits of forced birthing to maintain the population

Where is the law that forces them to get impregnated? Advocating for killing offspring because of refusal for personal responsibity is not something a healthy adult would be for.

I don't know how to say this in a way that people will believe, but unless the patriarchy is dismantled in the next 25 years, the US will cease to exist because women will have simple withdrawn from the social process. Why continue to create new people to throw into the financial/social/political woodchipper that is the US when opting out of it will eventually cause it to end in demographic collapse? If you want to save it, make it worth saving.
I just assumed we all wanted to leave the "United" States.
guys, it really was worth looking at the article: the number is 40% of women ages 15-44 would love to leave US if good opportunity came along. That's insane. But then again, the political situation in the US is insane, too.
Somehow we have been building a not-that-social workerbee america. It's not that romantic to live in the US. Add to that more female independence, lower marriage, easy divorce and fewer families.
Try it: anyone younger than 30 can get a year-long working holiday VISA in New Zealand or Australia. The conditions are not that difficult, although you obviously can't be broke. See what opportunities come up!
