Interesting! Based on the opinions of the teen/20s girls in our families, looking forward to dating, mariages and children with boys seem to be far less attractive than it was 2 or 3 generations ago. What seems to be more attractive to girls is either remaining single, or, surprisingly to me, establishing permanent relationships with other women (sexual or not) lead to much better lives and equality. As a father & grandfather of girls, I tend to agree with them!
Anyone clutching their pearls and surprised by this hasn't been paying attention. Marriage favors the patriarchy, which is crumbling.
The patriarchy doesn't protect women and children.

It will be educational to see if America’s slide into fascism, xenophobia, and anti abortion laws accelerates this trend.
