Not only that, but it's clear that mostly is affecting liberal women. Conservative birth rates have hardly fallen. Conservative women are doubling down ("tradwife"/masculine-versus-feminine energy). The GOP is much more pro-Russia than Democrats, so naturally Russia would support a strategy that reduces the left's political power by dividing it.
I mean personally as a woman who was centrist but has become more liberal over the past few years, it’s just because I never wanted bio kids in the first place. A lot of women on the left don’t, and that’s part of why we’re on the left in the first place. Nothing to do with men, pregnancy is just freaky and I have a low libido anyways
It also largely has to do with the state of the economy and lack of government support for pregnant women/parents/families. I know too many people who want kids but they’re on the fence about it because they just can’t possibly afford it. It doesn’t have much to do with a so-called gender war. I believe better education and resources are also preventing more unplanned and young (teen) pregnancies than in years past
Yet here I am a liberal woman who’s having her first child after not only completing a dual bachelors, working in my career while earning my masters. Got married, paid down half my school loans entering into the “trad-wife” era only for 2 yrs so I can re-enter the workforce because I gasp have the choice. It’s not a conservative vs liberal issue stfu.
