I keep hearing that it is "prosperity" that made fertility drop, but hasn't the expectation that women have to work also make having children difficult ?

    I don’t really know, but as far as actual fertility(the ability to become pregnant, rather than just birth rates (the rate at which people have children). It is more likely to be down to pollution like microplastics and lead in the water and the like.

    Possibly even rising temperatures, don’t spermatozoa die above 78°F/25.5°C? So if men can’t cool off their junk, they can’t get anything worthwhile delivered to the egg? I’m no biologist so I’m iffy on that one.

      I don’t believe a lick of that sorry. I think our si called prosperity is a mirage. We are withering.

        Why did you ask if you weren’t going to believe any answer other than the one you got?

      If that temp killed sperm, no one would get pregnant. Women’s wombs aren’t a refrigerator. Core body temp is 98.6 degrees.
