Stress and social status, society used to revolve around social status, if you were married and had a house and a decent job people respected you, your family was grateful, and apparently all these things boost your testosterone (heard it somewhere but not sure) today if you have these things some people will actually look down on you (according to the internet not sure again), and with the constant Ferris wheel of the news people can't seem to catch a break.
But wtf do I know, not a biologist, not a doctor, etc. just my 2 cents.
- JKCalhoun 4y ago> today if you have these things [married, house, decent job] some people will actually look down on you I have never encountered this phenomena.
- rco8786 4y agoDitto. Coupled with the source of “I read it somewhere on the internet, not sure” I think we can safely disregard that.

- JKCalhoun 4y agoHaven't contrarians always existed though? Also: decent job? House?
- recyclelater 4y agoI encounter this in the tech field. Coworkers look down on married with children and will actually voice this out loud at work. I’ve had coworkers say that I am part of the problem, that we need to stop reproducing in order to reduce climate change. About 15% of my coworkers have specifically stated they are not having kids due to climate change or that bringing new kids into a falling apart world is cruel. Anecdotal I know, but this seems to be a pretty common viewpoint in left coast tech circles. You can read comments on here along the same lines. Sure some social circles will have less or more than my rough 15% observation. Would be interesting to see the actual numbers.
