In the “relationship marketplace”, it’s women who decide whether to have children or not, and with whom (men don’t need to consent).
But men are perceived to generally be the gatekeepers of marriage (not legally/biologically, but maybe because of supply and demand?).
So instead of “why don’t women want children” you have articles “why don’t men want to marry” and “why are there no marriage worthy men”.
Rest assured, whatever the media can blame on men, they do blame on men, but blaming men for not having kids would be laughed off as obvious propaganda.
- orwin 4y agoI disagree. I ended a relationship because i don't want to have children. A very good friend of mine ended two for the same reason. I don't know about others because it's really personnal and i wouldn't want to talk about it IRL with any friend, but i suspect another one of my friend to have done the same. And we have way more capital and possibility to live a decent life than 90% of the people in my country.
- Bancakes 4y agoHow old are you and your friend? Where would you find dates if you can brush off relationships like that? Genuine question as I'm in the same boat.
