New Age Procreation Discussion

I enjoyed the movie, mostly. It's a new approach to an old idea and I give them credit for finding a relatively cheap way to present a new version of post-civilization.

But I object to the overly PC, careful and deliberate discussion of procreation at the dinner table. With 186 people left in the Bay Area, I don't think people would be so concerned with parenting issues. I think they'd mostly be interested in just reproducing.

In pre-industrial societies the idea is to give birth as much as possible so that one or more of those kids will survive into adulthood. Wouldn't that apply here?

And then, to revert to the more traditional post-apocolyptic movie culture, would the remaining men be so careful and understanding of the emotions connected to becoming a parent? Or would they be more likely to just rape the women and eat all the food in the pantry?

Maybe I've seen too much Mad Max, but I think the reality would be uglier than this movie proposes.
