It sounds like a recipe for severe inbreeding.

Look, there's constant attempts to get women into the trades. I see it all the time.
Women do start. Single moms, married women, lesbians. Only the dykes make it(and this is what the ones who make it call themselves). Not necessarily she-hulks.

Illegal aliens do not make less than native citizens working the same jobs, but are more willing to work those crappy jobs to begin with.

Two doctor households in Texas- or one doctor households- regularly hire nannies and housekeepers. Of course, we have very high inequality by US standards. But a cleaning lady once or even twice a week merely requires one to be middle class if it's a priority, or upper middle if it isn't.

While everything seems to work better with slightly more females than males, I strongly expect that would break down long before reaching a supermajority.

So arrange for combat by tournament to resolve international disputes. Use large hoplite armies recruited for one time cash payments, fighting on glorified football fields.

Part of the point of st dismas is that he didn’t get out of his earthly death sentence.

the undomesticated version of the horse was just as unruly as the zebra and in fact it seems pretty likely.
They’re called tarpans and they survived into the 19th century, we actually have a pretty good idea of their behavior.
Australian soil is, as far as I know, the worst in the world on average, and farming there requires fertilization techniques that require preexisting agricultural traditions to bootstrap. No comment on the kangaroos argument, but even today there are two domesticated species from Australia- macadamia nuts and a single kind of fruit, both of which are expensive luxuries rather than something that could be a staple.

The working poor will not starve in the US(and I’m given to understand that groceries in the UK are cheaper, not more expensive)- rice is too cheap to meter.

In the west, what we tend to see is migration from low wage work into gig work in response to welfare reductions- because Walmart gets you eligible for TANF and Medicare, uber does not.

He, uh, reads like a sheltered(probably by the school system more than by his parents) twenty year old, not a troll.

Nation of Islam is pretty close to defunct(because it’s schizo fundies who can’t get along with anyone, including the police), but there’s plenty of black ‘Bible believing’ churches not much different from their white fundie peers, who do about as well, and the black Hebrew Israelites seem to have pockets of functional subcultures.

AIUI graffiti artists are mostly doing graffiti in places where it is intentionally tolerated, and tend to get arrested quite fast if they do this stuff in nice exurbs.

Girls mature faster, so I suspect age cutoffs make a big difference in why so many of those programs are majority female.

I have seen women in the trades, and black women are not overrepresented as successful compared to women writ large. You know who is? White lesbians. There are tons of black women in stuff like dispatching, purchasing, parts houses, etc, but they’re not actually trades- they’re staff hired from the existing pool of functional but lower skilled labor.

That is pretty clearly not the definition in practice. Your bitch-dog, if she's large enough not to get eaten afterwards, can have coyote puppies, which can themselves breed- and there are breeds of hunting dog with partial coyote ancestry. There's a breed of cat which is partially bobcat. Most bison have ancestry from domestic cattle.

To be clear, being able to pull off the art museum as a date idea is very very good for your love life if you are a man. But at the end of the day, yes, a man's marriageability is mostly defined in economic terms- not always cash based, but economic.
You can be ruggedly masculine and kind and gentle and loyal to women(or, as we would like to encourage, one woman). The black idea of rugged masculinity doesn't happen to line up with that, of course, but it's not like ideas that do line up with that have never existed. Chivalry is pretty clearly an example, for example- knights were supposed to be good at fighting first and foremost, and treat women well, and spend their free time hunting, and the courtly graces were often things very directly relevant to being a knight(the dancing that they're expected to do originated as practicing footwork for swordsmanship).

Military service members having a guaranteed income that massively increases upon marriage seems pretty directly relevant to the marriage question, especially given their female class peers' poor economic prospects.

Our civic norms under a diadochic presidency... will the mos maiorum actually deteriorate? The 60's were bad, but, I mean, we, you know, survived.

It's worth noting that neither of those Empires looked like a powder keg ten years before they detonated.

??? No, the left's wins on Israeli immigration policy have tended to be recognizing as valid Jewish ethnic groups those with sketchier claims, conversions have pretty consistently been very difficult.

Thanks, this is almost exactly what I’m looking for. There’s no shortage of information on ‘how to get a gun in Germany’ freely available on the internet- the experience of actually doing it is less represented.

Almost every range has A Policy on ammo, and enforcement varies. Generally steel case ammunition is on the no no list, tracers are flat banned and will get you banned from that range, and some ranges don't like FMJ.
Some of them, perhaps, but others hire mostly those legally required to work(criminals), which will not push for much wage increase.
