It also shows how culturally out of touch the people studying and reporting on these trends are. Most of the people I know aren’t aware of the issue (I’m not very educated on it myself and don’t really understand the implications). But almost everyone I know understands that it takes a man and a woman to make a baby, and that this is something society has to do on a pretty large scale, and wouldn’t respond with any of the dismissals you raise.

At the same time it seems like you’re taking it in the other direction and also making this a “men versus women” issue. The fact is that there’s very little else in the world where men and women have common cause than reproduction and child rearing.
