First of all, this is rude, especially if I am woman myself.

Second, I am interested in increasing the population, but I am also interested in other things. (And this does not mean that I want these other things and a low population instead of a high population; I expect a high population to happen whether or not I am involved in bringing it about, so I can achieve both goals by working mainly for the other goals.)

Eh, I concede you have a point there re actively working toward spreading utility as thin as possible. I still have trouble believing that you truly mean what you say. But hey, I've been wrong before.
