> 1,000 men, and 1,000 women, I would probably not oppose a coercive breeding program. Ethics has always been a luxury when pitted against survival. Future generations judge us harshly for our actions, but there will at least be future generations.

If we reach the point where half the human race needs to enslave and rape the other half in order to keep the species going, we should call it a day and let the chimps have their shot.

Yeah, that’s what I see. Why the hell would I support something like this? If humanity has to die off, so be it. Probably makes me bad from a propagation of species standpoint, but I cannot imagine any scenario where I would support coercive reproduction.

Didn’t the human race have a 10 000 person bottleneck at one point in time? {I vaguely remember reading}

There is simply a minimum amount of breeding stock required to be healthy, or the genetic issues are worse then Deliverance.

Oh, do try it with me. Let’s see how many eyes and testicles you emerge with.

> Why populations can’t be saved by a single breeding pair

I knew there were genetic problems from inbreeding, but I never imagined they could be so severe and commonplace as to rule out repopulation from a single breeding pair. That alone would be enough to counter any desire to attempt repopulation, beyond one generation of children, even if the other person gave consent.

Vagina dentata?

No, for the reasons given above. No means no. No means yes when it’s necessary has always been the mating call of rape apologists. And if those are the sorts of people who’d sire the new generations, let the species perish.

I’m trying to figure out to post how disappointed in the Dope I am that this OP has stayed up as long as it has without it being threadshitting.

No, just no. Cornfield the repulsive hideous thing. The purported progress against misogyny has just been set back and a whole lot of privilege is showing. Shame, shame, shame.

**Warning** for **Max\_S** ; I can’t fathom why you thought this thread would be appropriate. I’m going to also give you a day off. So 1 day suspension to go with the warning.
