Read an interesting theory on Twitter about the paradox that all the big apes have open, visible ovulations except the human female, who has hidden fertile days and even herself has no idea of it. The theory says that she loves sex and intimacy but hates and tries to avoid pregnancy and birth and being tied down with the baby for years. So nature "has to trick" her to get pregnant by negating her knowledge of her condition. Those women who learned to avoid pregnancy - had fewer or no children and were out-selected by evolution. Those blessed with ignorance or lack of power did reproduce and became the standard model.
Primitive societies were organized to encourage or force women to give birth, but modern societies liberated them from this issue. So the problem of population decrease is only partially due to the males that do not want to marry. Females are responsible for much of this phenomenon. And thanks to the pill, now they are able to avoid pregnancy forever.
