It's not about status dude.

Gestating and expulsing a living human being is very difficult to physically and mentally recover from.

All we as guys need to do is put our shlong in. Women have to deal with the physical and mental externalities of that, so unsurprisingly a lot of young women are increasingly uninterested in having kids even if status played a role (which it doesn't as polling amongst women points out).
