I come from a small European country where the men are becoming quite notorious for not wanting to settle down. They want 3 rotating part-time girlfriends and an easy, low paying job that supports that lifestyle. Many of my female friends have given up on the idea of a relationship and just live their life, work and do their hobbies. So many of these men about - most of them barely hold down a job and they increasingly don't work in sectors which produce material goods, but instead are in the service sector as baristas, or personal trainers, or influencers. Men from the US do sound a bit better, in that they seem not to have given up on the idea of having well paid jobs, getting married and supporting their families.
I wonder how many women are waking up to the facts of what a risk having children is. Not only to your own body - grade 3 and 4 tears can cause lifelong pain, incontinence and disability - but the risk of being left a single mother with little or no support from an absent father is quite high. Thats a difficult sort of life to live. I have a couple of female friends - one a doctor and one a lawyer - who had to pay their boyfriends to leave their homes, because it was cheaper than going through a legal dispute. They were not married and did not have children. Even if those guys were not going to win that legal dispute, they knew it would cost money and time to defend it. Increasingly, men seem only to want to get married to women with more money than them. I'm generalising hugely. But actually not that much in my social circle.
A lot of these men are evolutionary dead ends. Their idea of "dating" is to send nudes of their private parts to women they have exchange a few online messages with, or to invite strangers to their homes to sleep with them. Then they complain that women only want to date 20% of men, or similar. We actually have a big problem with men being caught with illegal images of children on their phones - I will not go into more detail - but a lot of these men are into little boys, not adult women.
I'm married, but personally I think a lot of men live in the past, where they were the only ones who could earn money so they could get away with cheating, beating up their wives and the women had little choice but to stay with them and have their kids. You see all these men with these women from poor countries, like The Filippines, Malaysia, Thailand, parts of India - and even the women who get with the white men are the most desperate and poor from those countries - because those poor women have no choice. And they want a visa out of poverty, so they become quite good at convincing that they love these guys long time. They are only after the money and lifestyle of course but the guy gets a free maid for a few years minimum out of it.
So theres 3 choices as far as I see it:
1 - population decline - maybe no bad thing but who is going to look after all those single people in their old age?
2 - men start being nicer to women, women who have children have more security, there are consequences for men who walk out on their kids and real jail time for not paying their share of the costs of raising them, but overall treating women with more respect for the fact that they can have children
3 - society somehow forces women to have children they don't want in large numbers - cf the Handmaid's Tale, etc. In a way, some US states are already doing this, with banning abortion, even for under-age children and rap*e victims. Forced childbirth is abhorant.
