"There is exactly one solution to all of this, and I'm going to propose it. We need to repeal women."

Alison and Brian are joined by TL;DR for week six on the Cambridge paper arguing that solving the fertility crisis requires marginalising men further.

TL;DR brings the history: Sylvia Walby's triple system theory, and the claim that the capitalist class invented washing machines and dishwashers to isolate women in the home, before they could develop class consciousness at the communal wash house.

Also: the Marxist feminists who set out to derive the material benefit men extract from women's unpaid labour and found a null, and what got built over that hole instead. The Hollywood house concubine of the 1950s. Four models of relationship formation and how each fared against modernity. And the paper's closing proposal, which is to let the top fraction of men reproduce and bill everyone else.
