The Problem of Raising Girls
Spent the past couple of hours in a meeting with a friend and female thought leader, where she tried successfully to draw my attention to the incentives and behavior of girls and young women.
And it was pretty depressing. I mean, depressing enough that both of us lost more than a little optimism for the future.
Now, it’s one thing to say ‘here are the institutions, laws, policies, and incentives, we need. And it’s quite another to say ‘how to you modify the behavior of girls so that they practice civic duty rather than engage in infinite personaly hyperconsumption?’
I mean, we are very poorly organized for dating, marriage, having replacement level reproduction, and doing so at a young enough age that it produces health children from healthy eggs and sperm, and makes possible all the economy and intergenereational redistibution we have today.
