Why Do Millennials Dread Motherhood? with Rachel Cohen

Truth Over Tribe: Christian Takes on Culture, News & Politics

Thankless. Exhausting. Lonely. That’s how many Millennial women view the prospect of motherhood. And the statistics bear this out: The global fertility rate is steadily dropping. So, how did we get here? Today, Keith is joined by Vox senior reporter, Rachel Cohen, to discuss. Hear Rachel share insights from her recent article, “How Millennials Learned to Dread Motherhood,” where she explained why her generation got to this point and presented an unbiased, optimistic case for motherhood instead. Today she shares more on why she thinks there’s been such a sharp decline in children being born, how TikTok and social media influencers have contributed to this issue, and how politics may play a role. She walks through “The List” of the top reasons women cite for not having kids. Plus, what does she make of the fact that studies show that women with children report higher levels of happiness than women without? And what types of responses has she received after publishing her essay? Listen now!
