Eh. To be fair, before he said that non-mothers didn't deserve the vote, he said men didn't deserve it. Yet I don't find myself at all offended. I believe he was being farcical.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I'M GOING TO GO TELL TIM YOU'RE BOTHERING ME AND HE'LL KILL YOU ALL
While I'm sure Tim adores Allyson, I think it's more likely he'd throw some Ayn Rand Objectivism into the mix and sit back and laugh while we entertain him with our 'splodey heads.
Plus, I think killing people is a sign of love in the Minearverse.
(Stipulated: there are individuals, both sexes, who prefer to live alone. This is racially self-correcting.)
Sorry, but why is this is causing explosions? "Self-correcting" means, if this behavior spreads in each generation, we wind up extinct. Biologically, that's a problem. But since those who prefer to be alone are a lot less likely to have children, the problem fixes itself.

What makes you think that preferring to live alone is a genetic trait, passed down from parent to child?
Yeah, what about single mothers & fathers? (Although you could argue that it's not always by choice that they live alone.)

Don't be silly. The only conceivable configurations are the boring oppressive traditional nuclear family, or the polyamorous thing where grandad gets first dibs on your new girlfriend.
Uh, single parents aren't living alone -- they are living with their kid. No partner isn't the same as alone.
