More child care, mandated parenting time off for employers, better public transit, more government housing, more gender equality, more education &#8211; the result is cultures in Western Europe that will breed themselves into non-existence and be overwhelmed by the unenlighteghtened cultures where women are baby factories owned by their husbands.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to think there is a middle ground somewhere, but time is running out before all our promises to each other come due.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hurry up!
