College-educated Americans will have fewer children in the Trumpenfuhrer era?

“I’m Terrified of Raising a Boy in Trump’s America” (Elle) is kind of interesting. From the pregnant author:

Perhaps caught up in the momentum of the potentially ceiling-shattering election, I imagined the pea-size embryo was a girl and enjoyed a certain camaraderie as I cast my ballot, pleased about the stories I’d later tire her with about how she and I voted together for the first woman president. … I’d been sure I’d be raising a small woman during a new age of feminism, one where we didn’t even need to call it feminism anymore, one where it was normal for a woman to be the leader of the free world. But that was no longer the case.

It’s not the stereotypical boy things that worry me. … What terrifies me is the idea of raising a boy with good values when a man who represents the male stereotypes we’ve been fighting for generations is in the White House. A man who bullies both men and women in person and on Twitter. This man could dominate our news cycle for the next eight years. I can’t hide his bad behavior from our son.

How can I explain to a little boy that the year he was born, the President of the United States was an admitted sexual predator… How do I explain that grabbing a woman by her genitals is not an acceptable salutation when the man in charge of the country normalized it?

We can talk to him about the man who was in office when he was conceived, a self-declared feminist who made the world a better place for men and women of all colors and stripes.

I’ll start on January 21. I’ll be nearly five months pregnant when I travel to Washington, D.C., to march with thousands of other women who want to show our new president that there will be consequences for bad behavior.

According to Pew Research, “College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%)”. If the author of this piece is typical of the thinking of Hillary supporters, could it be that there will be a further decline in fertility among America’s college-educated citizens?

[Separately, I kind of like the way she spins her personal loss (of the beloved President Obama) and disappointment (about not being ruled by Hillary Clinton) into altruistic concern regarding an unborn child (whose life can be terminated, legally, in Massachusetts for another two months, potentially for cash compensation). It reminds me of that meeting here in the Boston suburbs where adults were supposed to learn how to talk to their children about the election result but instead kept turning the focus onto themselves. Her son won’t even be 8 years old before King Donald I is history. Which of Donald Trump’s points of view did she think might interest a 6- or 7-year-old child?]
