A couple days back, Newsweek reports:
Feminist activists on Sunday are planning to commemorate last year's Women's March, the response to the election of President Donald Trump that was widely regarded as the biggest demonstration in U.S. history.
As they do so, the so-called alt-right—an anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic movement that has struggled to recruit women—is aiming to co-opt this political moment with a series of stunts, including spreading propaganda and a counterdemonstration in Knoxville, Tennessee. This targeting of a feminist event is part of an ongoing pattern of misogynistic behavior in the movement, according to activists and a rights group that spoke to Newsweek.
[...] Trolls from 4chan, an imageboard website that is popular with the alt-right, are planning to post signs at women's studies departments on college campuses Sunday with the hashtag #mybordermychoice, a deliberate perversion of the abortion-rights slogan "my body my choice," according to a series of posts on the site and research conducted by antifascist activists.
[...] Lecia Brooks of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a rights group, told Newsweek that Heimbach [Leader of the Traditionalist Workers' Party] is "no defender of women," referring to altercations involving the opposite sex he has had at demonstrations.
Heimbach replied to that notion by saying legal abortion and illegal immigration were victimizing the unborn and women, and that "women have had their femininity put under attack by a culture that treats them as either sex objects or as mere economic cogs in the capitalist system." Heimbach is a critic of the capitalist system while also being a critic of socialism, and views a "national socialism" system that includes only white non-Jews as an alternative to both. He said the policies of his group were structured to "empower women to their God given honorable place as true equals to men in society through their unique role as mothers and wives." To be clear, he is an ardent critic of contemporary feminism.
Message received, very clear.

100% agree... No women -> no children. No children -> no more people!
I guess my main concern is like that of a farmer... we want to breed in desirable traits, and breed out undesirable traits... which we have not been having much success at... we seem to be doing the exact opposite! We seem determined to save our drug babies, encourage welfare kids, but keep the people who have the trait of being "industrially productive" doing just that - toiling all day making a buck for someone else - and avoiding reproduction because of the financial concerns of having a family / losing work hours.

"Quarter earning optimization" will do that - damn'd with long term, we need results now... if no longer possible, well, I have my golden parachute, "enterprises raise and fall" is as valid a truth as "all software have bugs" (we managed to trick taxes, can't use that comparison any more).

From a Social Darwinian point of view we've managed to prevent those undesirables from murdering you and your family for food. So I think we can call it a wash...
