Would you support universal basic income for women only?

I hear alot of worrying about couples not wanting to start a family because of financial stress.
I figure cutting women (and women only) a check every month would solve that. It'd also give them an option to stay home if they want.

Thoughts?

OMG. Are you full blown-out crazy? Why women only? That's hardly fair. But, quite honestly the idea of just handing out checks under a UBI philosophy is flawed from the get-go. You only make it less appealing, more counter-productive, and more prone to fraud by outright discriminating against everyone EXCEPT only one segment of the population. And, to help bring you back to earth, it's not only couples wanting to start a family and women in particular who experience financial stress. Have you ever heard of students? What about veterans who make up a large segment of the homeless population? Have you ever heard about people just starting out on their own?

May I suggest you go back to the whiteboard in your isolated elitist world and develop usable suggestions that can actually be applied under real-world (not Sim World) conditions?

@NoahB Well, if you're saying because I don't agree with this latest crazy idea of yours, then yeah I guess I do see it, but I don't agree with it or like it. If you're referring to that other guy saying this is the first time he agrees with me then, yeah, I don't see it.

@NoahB I am not happy with your entire attitude on this.

@NoahB 🤨 It's not just about having fun and collecting stimulus money. You need to be responsible. Damn it.
@MarkPaul Couldn't have said it better myself.
