Mr. Gage, you have put a smile on my face, and chuckle in my voice. Like a good Scotch Whiskey, it was a pleasure to read.

Second item part 2. You buried the lede there. 😈 Now add that to U. S. states looking at extending citizenship rights to fertilized eggs. Have fun, thanks for all the fish.

Mr Gage, Mr Gage. I am appreciative of that which a slow and/or unentertaining news cycle may inflict upon a commitment to wax wittily weekly but going ad nazihitler in only the third attempt? Tsk, tsk.

The feature centres on eugenics, Nazism, falling birth rates, the concern with this being primarily a neo-Nazi and ethno-nationalist obsession.

A playful little jibe in a satirical piece is hardly reductive. If anything, it's to be expected.

Let’s hope Jenny from Accounts is not so trusting of some guy who smiles reassuringly and says “Nothing to worry about - I’m on the pill.”

You are in your element. "According to science, soon will come the day when men can pop a pill and avoid spending four months terrified they’ve knocked up Jenny from accounts." speaks to my younger years.
