The main problem of most developed societies is horribly low fertility rates. Lot of women pick very long education path and then career thinking about having children only in their mid 30s… When their fertility is mostly gone.
I think education system for women should be tailored towards different things than men. Teenage girls should have better knowledge of psychology (especially child psychology) health, childcare ect. so they are well prepared to build strong stable relationships and start families when they’re actually fertile. I’m not talking here about giving up on career of course, it’s a personal choice, but I wish the education was complementary for both genders (so couples benefit from different specializations of each other) rather than uniform.
I think you nailed most of the reasons, at least from my day to day observations.
I’d add they are afraid of responsibility, while at the same time they don’t know how rewarding building a family can be. Education system could help with that.
It’s a mixture of fear and immature dislike for it. To be an adult is to welcome responsibility, to take care of more than just yourself, and idk if that is concentrated more in women (I’d argue the opposite actually, the biological clock kinda pushes women at some point, successfully or not, to mentally grow up). 👍
