I definitely agree that the biggest factor is the cost and overall economics that forces women to work full time jobs in order for most couples to earn enough just to pay the rent.  Both parents with full time employment does not generally leave enough time to do all the tasks involved in raising a child.  Day care ends up eating away all the money, and who drives the older kids to activities?  Latchkey kids who raise themselves end up getting in trouble and hanging out with a bad crowd.

However, economics doesn't explain the statistics, and the exploding percentage of recent generations to  self identify as Lezzie-Gay-Bi-Tranny-Queers.  Back in Boomer years it was ~1% of the population.  Today it's >5%.  That's a 500% increase.  What do you attribute that to?  Also, based on media TV, its even bigger than that.  Every show has at least one or 2 main characters as some non-binary gender variant.
