We have 5 children, I was unaware that we are such terrible stupid people.
Comment on Study finds bullies have more children than non-bullies

My guesses are that there ate multiple factors at play:
- less educated people make more kids
- "nice guys finish last" - assertive and more socially active people are more likely to find a partner and make children
- forcing others to follow perceived social dynamics means internal pressure to follow them oneself; having children is a social norm and expectation that is expected to be followed
I’d try and look for papers to see if my guesses hold any water, but time eludes me.

Have you not had your morning coffee yet? 😄 The study purports that bullies have more kids, not that people with more kids were/are bullies. It investigated the relation in one single direction, not both.

I think being assertive and more socially active meaning you’re more likely to be a bully is a bit of a myth. Although the cliché school or work bully may be assertive and socially active, there are many unpopular and awkward people who bully those around them, and it just goes unnoticed.

You are reversing the implication that I’m guessing 😉

Rapists are definitely bullies also.
