RE: Infertility... are we on the road to extinction?

You forgot one of the newest and biggest reasons for lower birth rates, MGTOW (Men Going There Own Way). These are men not going Gay, but men who look at the 50-60% Divorce rate and a Legal system that only favors women and thinking "NO THANKS"!!!

They are keeping there cash and hording they're toys and simply refusing to share with thieving women who don't want a lasting relationship but only a paycheck!

Marriage is a Gamble anymore that these MEN simply aren't willing to risk their hard earned money on and I don't blame them!

Just my 2 cents

It's not just a men thing from what I'm seeing around me. Women are also disenchanted and going their own way, or getting married and deciding not to have children even when they can. I see this among my friends too. I've not come across any men yet [I'm not saying they don't exist. I just don't meet them]. It has been the women each time.
The system doesn't suit men or women right now when there is so much stress on both sexes. And we are not encouraged to value family or children.

In my family the case is clear. Between us, there are 15 adults [including partners and past partners] and a total of 9 children. I've done more than my share with 4 of those! ALL the male members of my family wanted children and the ones that didn't have children didn't because the female members didn't want to.

I think you underestimate how pissed off women are too.

Some of them aren't even pissed off. They just want to have their own lives without the inconvenience of children, for one reason or another.

Thanks for your comment. I agree divorce is a factor. My exhusband left me $600,00 in debt after 25 years and then took his girlfriend to Europe on a vacation.

I feed lucky then, my ex-wife only left with a couple thousand in credit card debt and 16 years of child support. : )

My advice to people going through divorce is to live well and be happy it drives your ex crazy.
