Lesbians -- women who partner with other women -- tend to bear fewer children than women who partner with men. If 20% of all the females on earth can be convinced to choose a lifetime of woman-woman relationships, excess population growth worldwide would

Population Control Through Open-Mindedness 

Choosing a simple Lesbian lifestyle -- it's not for every woman.  But it
is a certainly one viable solution to the world's principal challenge: 
survival of the human species. 

If every child in the world can be influenced to trust and believe in
this, within two decades, the rate of global population increase would 
be reduced substantially. 

What needs to be done in order for a global Lesbian revolution to take
place?  Remember: it is every female person worldwide who may be able 
to bear children. 

If fifteen to twenty percent of these women freely and happily embraced
life as Lesbians, it would dramatically impact the rate of 
childbearing. This would reduce the rate of population growth to 
manageable levels that the Earth can sustain. 

First, every single child on earth must learn to be open-minded
regarding sex, gender and reproduction before s/he reaches the age of 
childbearing.  In this way, each female child will be free to choose a 
life destiny that can be totally fulfilling without bearing a child.  
Can this job be carried out in school?  in church?  at home?  at work?  
where else?  We all must do whatever is necessary to abort the 
influence that traditional pressures and beliefs about childbearing / 
child raising have on the young minds of female people. 

How swiftly can you and I launch the global movement toward maximizing
love, maximizing the pleasures of sex -- and minimizing the skewed bias 
toward joining opposite genders for the purpose of childbearing? 

What needs to be changed in every community of like-minded people on the
planet in order to create a new moral ethic -- to be taught to everyone 
everywhere?  The new moral ethic must stress that love among girls can 
be more fulfilling and more supportive than  ANYTHING  ELSE YOU CAN 
DREAM UP!!! 

Don't address any male issues.  They are different.  Intimate, sincere
male/female friendships must become the chief guideline -- not 
"marriage".  There is no longer any reason whatsoever for creating a 
child unless the community approves of a "sacred bond for the chief 
purpose of bearing up to two children". 

It is easy to collect these thoughts as an essay.  Can they be
implemented in time to stabilize the earth's population?  That's not so 
easy.  But neither is it impossible.

1. Comment of Stanley Adam Heilbrun: 

It would appear that the desire to reproduce is deeply hard-wired into
the metabolism of the great majority of females and a substantial 
percentage of men as well. 

Furthermore, for virtually all of the earth's impoverished populations,
having many children is an economic necessity. 

As oil becomes depleted we will be returning to family farms for a great
part of our food production. Farmers need kids. 

What would be the outlet for the libidos of the un-partnered men? 

And finally, you are bucking up against millennia of religious biases
which will not be overcome by a rational argument for controlling the 
earth's population. 

As a footnote to the lesbian issue --- 

When I was living in Tokyo and learning Japanese I asked my wife how to
say "lesbian" in Japanese.  She replied: "rez-bee-an."  I said "No. 
What is the JAPANESE word?" And she said that there is no word in 
Japanese. 

It has always been assumed that historically, most women would fuck
their husbands to make babies  but that they would find their real 
intimacy and pleasure with other women. 

The men, in turn, would find their friendships among men and their
pleasure with courtesans. 

I had also guessed that much the same was true from my experience in
Afghanistan and Pakistan.  S.A.M. Oct.17, 2009
