The fundamental importance of reproduction in human life and societal dynamics

The conversation highlights that the struggles between men and women fundamentally revolve around how to make the next generation. This is the root cause of all the trade-offs and is at stake in arguments about how men and women should live together. As long as reproduction is excluded from societal discussions, it's just empty theorizing about roles and stereotypes. While the meaning of life is not solely about having kids, life won't continue without them, making it indisputably necessary for human existence.
