According to myth, Malthus wanted to curb human population growth - but at same time, as Kallis points out, he staunchly opposed contraception methods. How explain this apparent paradox?
A. Malthus' Victorian feminist worldview led him to the belief that the only way to protect women's delicate sexuality from roguish men is to encourage men to get vasectomies.
B. Malthus condemned sexual activity that was decoupled from procreation: he considered it ungodly and sinful.
C. As it turns out, Malthus didn't oppose human population growth: as a devout Christian, he wanted humanity "to be fruitful and multiply".
D. Both B and C above.
