feminism can feed the world

Natasha Chart at Open Left writes on how feminism can fight global warming; her hypothesis, writ short, is that increasing educational and economic opportunities for women reduces the birthrate, and thus reduces the number of people who are creating CO2 (not to mention also reducing maternal mortality rates and a host of other bad things).

It would seem to follow as well, with regard to my last post, that this would likewise be an effective way of reducing the number of malnourished persons around the world. Even more effective, perhaps.
