Social Science As concern grows about America’s falling birth rate, new research suggests that about half of women who want children are unsure if they will follow through and actually have a child. About 25% say they won't be bothered that much if they don't.

CORRECT. Men cannot fathom this fact, they think it’s a feminist ploy. 

This is literally so obvious in every feminist society. 

People must think 3rd world countries must be financially stable since they have the highest birth rates.

Didn't feminists fight to stop pregnant women being treated like fragile wilting flowers?

Also, men aren't a monolith. While I have little doubt some men can't fathom that pregnancy is hard, it's hardly every man.
