There is no "ideology of childlessness," as Vyacheslav Volodin claims.

@LazaroDTormes And this is a shift that has gone on over a long period of time, as it became less necessary for parents to have multiple children to work on farms and assure that at least some children would survive to care for the parents in their old age. The attempt of right-wing ideologues trying to control women to connect this to women's liberation is a red herring.

@JustTooOdd Thank you. I agree. This is very well-stated.

@unikitty And the ideology of childnessness rhetoric conflates those two ideologies, making them one and blaming women for it.
-
@Judeet99 Yes: "The ideology at work here is the 'right' of men to define who women are and why they exist."
-
@wdlindsy Let's face it, it's not the only country where this is happening is it?
-
@Judeet99 I don't think the point of that good report linked above is to say this is the only country where this is happening now. The article mentions Vance, and we know that the political and religious right in the US have very strong ties to Putin.
-
@wdlindsy Indeed, and Boris Johnson had/has strong ties to Russia too, as does his latest "wife" who I believe was top knob in the "Friends of Russia" group within the Tory party and which no-one seems to want to report on....

@junesim63 Absolutely. And so close, that Nazi ideal, to what Vance keeps telling us he wants for women.

@Judeet99 You're right. I think we can add Nigel Farage to that list, too.
