children of men and handmaid's tale was predictive programming. also contraception(the pill) is the primary cause, rates began immediately plummeting within the first year of its introduction in the 1970's. combine that catastrophe with widespread plastic usage and the estrogen from pill taking women going into the recycled water supply that men use... now we have an actual gender imbalance crisis with too many men and not enough women that *will* lead to a war for breeding rights.
