It takes two, you know! Where is all the handwringing over men not having children?!

Everything is women's fault - I thought everyone knew that ?

You mean birth rate not fertility rate yes?
And yes, I’d say women should get credit for falling birth rates. We are the ones with reproductive rights and make the decision to stay pregnant or terminate. Falling birth rates will save the planet from overpopulation….so blame I away say- it’s credit not blame,
