When it comes to SexTech, it’s unclear to what extends that increases the amount of reproductive sex that people have. It’s not in Tinders interests for people to marry, have kids and remove themselves from the dating market.
Japan is a country where “most married men were too busy or tired from work to have sex”. Given that Japanese workers also are not working in a way that leads to much economic growth, their problem isn’t just about childcare being expensive or timeconsuming. It’s that too much human capital goes into busywork.
The key reason why childcare needs a lot of time from parents is that attitudes towards what a parent should provide for their children have changed. When faced with parents spending exponentially more time on childcare over the years, saying “How about the state does the childcare?” seems to avoid the core issue.
The hard issue is about understanding what activities actually have to need to be done or are useful.
