@lauracarroll88.bsky.socialA new reason people aren't having children-a "romance famine"? My first reaction is - in part this is a #pronatalist hypothesis, as underneath it is the assumption that once you Do find romance and fall in love, you will want to have a baby with that person. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

Birth rate plummet fears, fertility crisis messaging are both #pronatalist myths. #overpopulation
@lauracarroll88.bsky.social... #pronatalist ending that the couple 'changes their mind', has a child and finds true happiness. Some reviews say the main character couple remain ambivalent/undecided at the end; others that it's settled - they are #childfree. We'll see. Film to be released sometime next year. 2/2
