With the advent of social media minority groups it has become possible to make you minority view seem far bigger than it actually is and this, with all the LBGT movement and metoo brigade, is more than likely what has happened here. No doubt the percentages have always been the same, although granted due to social restraints many may not have acted on their true feelings.

OG, I share at least some of your point of view. A lot of women seem to be brought up to see their primary aim and justification for existing (certainly a measure of self-worth) to demonstrate fertility, having children. This is definitely very rarely the case with males, if ever. Once that box is ticked, the drudgery of the achievement (every aspect of it) must in this day and age cause many women when they can very easily exist without male support to ask themselves "Why all of that ?". To dump all the paraphernalia must be a very appealing option if, once useful for that objective, the mechanism (a partner/husband) is now superfluous to requirements. We already know that deliberate pregnancy without consultation/agreement with/from the male happens a lot, no doubt as a result of the pressure to produce. There are those who suggest a male contraceptive as convenient and effective as the Pill (for women) has been deliberately held up to avoid a sharp decline in the birth rate - I don't support that theory, although it is not so wild.
Women aren't just "brought up" that way, Karl. It is a deep seated, biological instinct. You must have seen the expense, pain, efforts and time women will go to with IVF, just for the off chance of having a baby...
But I agree, after that, and I suspect, after the menopause where women will naturally not be so driven to want to have sex/ get pregnant, there is little motivation to.
