The Asian dots that are outliers are the gulf countries

What a terrifying graph.
Would be awesome if it was hosted somewhere where roll-over text would show the country each data point represents. I’m also curious why Asian countries seem to have a lower correlation than the other continents.

What people don’t realise about the current demographic trends is that it seems like unequal societies are heavily favoured from a natural selection point of view. Natural selection does occur at a societal level too, so the implication of this is that societies where men and women are equal won’t last. In the long run they’ll be outcompeted by unequal societies due to sheer population difference. We are unavoidably heading for a future of inequality, or at the very least towards a society with a more traditional lifestyle where the woman stays at home.

What is the gender inequality index. You’re expecting us to know and I bet <1% will have a accurate understanding of what it means beyond the “inequality = bad” idea.

This is like the correlation between drownings and amount of ice cream sold.
There is no causation, that is a whole different (set of) variables. Like wealth and education.

As David Attenborough put it, when women get the right to choose, they typically choose to not have children.

Indeed, the world is overpopulated, and women often don’t want to do unpaid, unrespected drudgery. Birth rates will go back up as the world becomes less populated and more ecologically stable. There’s no avoiding the decline in population — it’s inevitable, though it might take a while longer. The question is, how do we handle it so that our economies function for the benefit of people?

This is not a beautiful presentation of data. I have no idea what I’m looking at.

Women like to procreate unapologetic and dominant men. Nice guys who present sexual consent forms on the 15th date won’t get laid. What’s new ?

More developed countries have less children and have less women’s rights. This graph is correlated because they are both caused by the same thing
