*The statistics I cite are for America. Things are worse or better depending on where you go, but it's a global issue among developed, first-world countries.
For real, it's an issue. You hear about this stuff most commonly in Japan but it's happening everywhere among developed countries that birth rates are stagnating or falling.
Today in America, the average age millennials get married at is about 28 and the birth rate has plateaued at 1.8 children per woman, as opposed to about 20-25 and about 3 through the 60s and 70s. 28, as you'll notice, is bordering on being really fucking late to be having children, which isn't good for anyone involved.
Millennials are less romantic, less committed, and less family-oriented than any generation on record--but studies show that this isn't making anyone any happier. In fact, reported feelings of loneliness and displeasure are at a high (40% among people aged 18-26). Loneliness, it is said, is an epidemic.
But if you looked outside in the past 20-30 years you'll know that the "American Dream" touted by mainstream [mostly feminist] activists was to be as promiscuous as possible, have tons of cheap sex, travel the world, and settle down later (or never), but the people actually doing this are fucking miserable.
Why is it that young people are en masse "going their own way"? Is it because rates of autism are on the rise? Is it the daddy issues? Is it the internet's fault for making young wo/men into hikikomori? Was sexual liberation not all it's cracked up to be?
If you say "it's because muh economy makes it cost literally one gorillion dolllars per year to raise a child", you're an NPC with an art history degree and don't know shit.
