-Chinese men once said in a survey that they feel threatened by high achieving women
-Therefore men as a group are most at fault for the decline in marriage and TFR
Has anyone written on this issue dispassionately? The marriage/reproduction rate for the entire developed world is cratering and we get “blessed” with a choice of three explanatory viewpoints: incel, femcel, purely economic factors
I do believe economic factors are the single largest culprit, but there’s obviously more to the story when you look at the U-shaped income/TFR curve or the utter failure of nearly all family-formation economic policies across the globe.
This baby brained “men bad” or “women bad” discourse belongs in the dumpster.

Chris Williamson of the Modern Wisdom podcast has interviewed many public intellectuals from different sides on the subject in a fairly even-handed way.
I'm currently reading Mary Harrington ("Feminism against Progress") and Louise Perry's ("The Case Against the Sexual Revolution") books on the subject, and find them fairly convincing.
