I agree that declining birth rates and later child bearing is a problem, but I heavily disagree with the alternative you seem to promote: depending on what you mean by birth control, we definitely don’t want everyone having 10 children, which was not uncommon without it; divorce is an essential freedom we absolutely should have; and feminism is a very important movement and attacking it is just vile.

>But most do in fact want children and do not really know the risk.

Given so many here complaining abuot meeting a person to begin with: Beggars can't be choosers. Figure out who you'd want to have a family with first and then get around to the whole child part.

There's also adoption, but it'd admittedly be hard to be approved as a single parent.
