Let’s stop asking why women aren’t having children and ask, for once: why aren’t men? | Rhiannon Lucy Coslett
On the whole, men I’ve spoken to – like women – want children. But a host of issues, from housing to mental health, is getting in the way, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

This is woman-hating, anti-abortion nonsense. Change the men doing this. Rethink what it means to be 'masculine' away from dominance and control. Focus on gender justice and ending men's violence. Don't limit pregnant people's access to abortions. Ever.
