> The social pressure to have a family didn't really disappear
All sexually reproducing organisms on the Earth have families without any social pressure and we evolved from primates who work like this.
By far the stronger pressure is biological. I doubt social pressure even comes close to moving the needle.
- nobodyandproud 2y agoUnlike most organisms, we’re smart enough to satisfy those urges without having children. The peak reproductive years are the late teens to late twenties (give or take). However and in modern society, having children in the first two-thirds of the peak years is a recipe for failure or lifelong hardships.
