  1. Married adults have markedly more sex than their unmarried peers, but the sex recession is also making inroads among married couples.
  2. When it comes to sexlessness (“no sex in the last year”) among young adults, the biggest change comes post-2010.
  3. Between 2010 and 2019, the average time young adults spent with friends in a given week fell by nearly 50%, from 12.8 hours to just 6.5 hours.

You forgot making workplace hiring discrimination basically legal so that women are more dependent on men, making it harder for some to leave wife beaters. Rape still counts, right?

they forgot to raise the price of knives. oops!

I mean, if you get em knocked up before they can really develop any independence and your Christian theocracy demands shotgun weddings, that's going to reduce the labor pool and increase wages due to scarcity. It also sounds like hell on earth, but it would be hell on earth with a somewhat higher median wage.

I'm sure the sex will trickle down from the billionaires any second now.
