No. It's actual fact. The US Census tracks this. Women on public assistance, as a group, have a 3 times higher birth rate than women (with or without partners) who are self-supporting.

Because they have been indoctrinated that family is detrimental to financial status, and the financial status is the ultimate goal.

What you love becomes your life. For most its money and lack of personal responsibility for others. They don't want to be accountable for anyone but themselves and do not want to compromise any aspect of their lives. (As an elder relative used to say: People who choose to not have kids are basically selfish. And it sounds harsh but it's true.)

For those who marry in their 20s and get an earlier start ... it is 100% financially doable as they are paying expenses for 1 unit instead of 2 from the very beginning of their adult lives. Since marriage has been destroyed as an option (because family has been indoctrinated as bad) people in their 20s have a ridiculous amount of unnecessary expenses.

I've also seen comments from married women who have gone in for public assistance told to get divorced because they would be eligible for more public money. So public assistance perpetuates single motherhood.

I live in NYC, the majority of women I attract are 30 something educated women regardless of race. All of these women focus on their career first, or focus on social justice and feminism and put children on the back burner for later. But when they reach 35 they are hustling to find a partner. By 35 it becomes difficult for women to try and have kids unless they upkeep their health with proper diet and exercise which plenty of women do not practice.

They have more kids but it is far from a financial boon.

Food Stamps, short-term TANF benefits, Medicaid, subsidized housing result in a bare bones life.

As luck would have it, raising kids for many means a far less financially comfortable retirement.

However, for poor people, raising kids means that you up your odds of having a least one person in the universe who cares about you enough about you to look after you in your declining years.

Yeah, feminism is a major cause of low fertility. Having children is seeing as degrading. When feminists women try to find a partner in their late 30s all the good men are already taken. They get frustrated and bitter and grow old with no family.

In the 1940s and 50s men and women were already married with three kids by age 25. I suspect women of that era were happier.

Women have been taught that money and career is more important than a family. They have their priorities backward. They should have a family FIRST and then focus on career. But no feminist will ever admit that, as she scurries off to IVF treatment after 3 years of trying to get pregnant.
