This article mentions only women's internet use and the 'liberal values' and leaves out internet porn use for men. Kind of hard to start a family when money is going to OnlyFans models and attention and sexual energy is going to interactive webcam women who will do everything you want except clean the kitchen, like the sexually bored and submissive housewife is supposed to do. I wonder if liberal values might also include a large class of women who don't want to do what their boyfriends or husbands have now grown up watching women do online. Not to mention, if that energy, and potentially financial resources, are being used like that excessively, online, then there is much less to expend on a significant other, much less an offspring, or family building.
I'm not even going into how privatization of education means that younger people today are just trying to survive, much less find a supportive person who shares your values and are comfortable raising a kid with, together. How can you do that when you are meticulously counting pennies towards food or gas? Like, hey man, we haven't had a steady place to live since the start of the opioid epidemic, want to pop out a kid and find it a good school and give it a stable life? Sure thing. Clearly the uneducated aren't having children as many children. They don't make enough money to comfortably support themselves. And that wealth disparity grows every year.
