It happens in all animal populations. Shorter lived with strong natural predators/disease, survive by breeding like crazy. Live longer and hardy defenses have lower birthrates. Humanity is no different, and being liberal/conservative/pro-anti abortion baby loving PC doesn't change facts. Places where humans are poor, struggle and starving and dying like rats, respond with cultures and behavior to have lots of babies/sons to survive or help survive. Rich populations with means to defend (better food, medicine, jobs) reduce their breeding naturally, create logic/ideology to spend more time raising healthy few and having longterm success rates. It's when the old survival biological response continues into a more surplus successful environment that things get imbalanced. What’s so surprising? It happens in all animal populations.
