The schools and universities, in addition to pushing all manner of Leftwing propaganda, also find time to heap derision on “breeders”. It has become a cliche that animal babies are cute and only human babies are homely. When I argued against this “truism” I was told that maybe mine were adorable but “we’re talking about most babies”. And this was at a deep South campus (Auburn).

“Most males in their 20’s are still children and live like children”

So are the females.

True. I'm speaking for those who aren't irresponsible children.

Date men in their mid-30’s and your problems will vanish. For a woman, men her own age are almost always behind in maturity level - especially American men in their twenties. ;)

Through migration they will take over much of Europe-East and West and move North into the Middle East which has a low birth rate as well.

That should be interesting. The Arabs won't like that. So that would create potential for future conflicts.

Most males in their 20’s are still children and live like children. Even those who are not so deficient, are leery of marriage and responsibility.

Yes, its true. Society doesn't ask anyone to be responsible any longer. We allow (and encourage) adulthood to be delayed forever. The sexual revolution and feminism may have "liberated" women, but it also freed men from any responsibility and gave them sexual license.

My own case is worse than your illustration. I have six children but ... it is a “yours, mine, and ours” family. Remember the old Hollywood joke, “Honey come quick, your children and my children are beating up our children.” My first wife produced two children. My present and final wife has brought forth four children. So the average fertility rate of my mates is three children per woman. But my youngest child is only nine years old. My wife was 37 and I was 58 when my youngest was born. Those long generations mean we are falling further behind as a percentage of the population than the typical 1.7 child per woman American/European White birthrate would indicate.

It really gripes me to see how many of them are pathetic bums, riding around in the passenger seat, letting the women do the heavy lifting of paying the costs to have and use a car.

“the developed world is heading into a death-spiral”

And rightly so. When you don’t offer people anything of meaning, then they will just live meaningless lives and see no reason to create children to have more meaningless lives.

It’s not just a UK problem. Here in the US, single mothers account for 42% of the national birth rate. Despite the introduction of birth control in 1961, abortions skyrocketed to its peak in the mid 2010s. The national divorce rate is near 53%, 80% of which are filed by women for largely non-existential reasons.

Looking at all that, it highlights the fact that there’s some weapons-grade irresponsibility when it comes to women and decision-making. And we wonder “where did all the good men go?” while the domestic marriage rate is at never before seen lows and continues to go lower.

Just wait until we start hearing about how no one in government is willing to even consider and/or examine what the new birth rate is amongst VAXXED females. They will examine any data under the sun to beat and torture it to get to their ‘conclusions’ but they will never do this.

Probably been scraped so many times, they probably can’t even have children when their ticking clock runs out

I see a future of boxed wine and cats.
