Each question could be a starter of a research by itself; (1). Islam or other religions have their own keen walls and characteristics, to survive, through their depth of tranquility that create in their believers. Lately, religion is used as an instrument for some political- achievements or deterrences, by supper-donors, in some occasions (e.g. Islamophobia). (2). The naturalism, feminism or masculinism had been existed ahead of any formal belief-systems; also, they could be influenced by the environmental & physical factors, in their era; they could survive through complex forms and conditions (obvious or hidden), in each culture & generation. Generally, religion could constrain them, and use them, but it can not eliminate the naturalism, feminism & masculinism from the physical and emotional existence of human species. (3). All these variables have been survived through constant changes in their depth and value, so far.
Anti-natalism is a more feature of some strains of second-wave feminism than of third-wave feminism. It is vulnerable to repression because feminists generally lack the control of state instruments needed to engage in repression. Therefore, it is incorrect to maintain that feminists repress (pro)natalism, although many feminists argue against pronatalist policies, i.e. coercive reproduction.
Historically, states have used religions and ideologies e.g. nationalisms to make women engage in reproduction beyond levels they would choose. Where feminism empowers women to influence state policies, they are more likely to reproduce by choice and bear as many children as they wish, or choose not to bear any children. Reproductive freedom is central to women's freedom and political agency. Much of women's efforts to effect reform of family law involves efforts to gain such freedom. Support for reproductive freedom should not be confused with anti-natalism.
dear respected researchers,
Reproductive freedom is often confused with the right to engage in the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. other issues related to this include the right to use of Contraceptive methods such as Hormonal methods, Barrier methods, IUDs, contraceptive implants, and abstinence. the right not to engage in Reproduction is an important function of a health society.
"The superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice." Thomas Robert Malthus.
Antinatalism, or anti-natalism, is a philosophical stance that assigns a negative value to birth.
the practice of Islam assigns a positive value to birth.
"And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators." SAHIH INTERNATIONAL translation Qur'an
it is not beneficial to force a woman to engage in reproduction, nor would it be appropriate to bar a man from seeking to engage in reproduction.
