So when we fail to distinguish between the nesting pillar, and the aristocratic training pillar we get caught on the horns of a dilemma. Because those are 2 distinct functions.
I think this is a useful conversation to be having. I do think it’s important to distinguish between birth rates per se, and raising highly trained aristocratic children. Between the conditions that cause women to nest and the conditions that create future “March Lord” as another writer here on Substack put it. Because those are two different things.
Our cultural insistence that every child be raised to engage with a level of complexity and expectation that ONLY royals had 200+ years ago, means that women are caught between sets of expectations that are astonishingly new.
And I do think that there was a whole other set of issues with Rhodesia (similar to what is going on in modern day Japan and Taiwan) that add complexity to this pictures.
