It's a problem for women over 30. If men merely have to delay reproduction by 40 years to their 70s you can quite easily kick the can down the road for the next generation to deal with. Given how much worse each next generation is doing this may well seem like a great deal in 2060 to the women who are born in 10 years time.

Pretty obfuscatory fact. Inflation-adjusted wages are flat to declining. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us...

It confuses the matter to talk about household earnings, which obscure the increase in two-income households. (Two-income households have more income and expenses for a given standard of living, since homemakers are contributing to household earnings and expenses in a shadowed form.)
