SF&F is a spectrum, and it's pretty hard to draw a defining clear cut line. For example I'd rate star wars as space fantasy, but there's plenty of people who consider it sci fi. Given the sheer lack of content on the fediverse, I think you should post whatever you can :)

Stop thinking of your relationship with them as transactional,

I don't. You're the one who brought economic value into the relationship.

For what my kid costs me I could hire a full time live in helper. And have some left over. 'Cheap' labour, hah.

I've lived in Norway, one of the countries with the best QoL and support for kids. I have family in Singapore. I can assure you 'strong social programs and wages' are nowhere close to what kids actually cost. Finance is a huge factor.

driving force is that women have access to abortion, birth control, education, and career opportunities that they've never had before.

I'm not even disputing that they're factors. Go back to my original post and you'll note the only thing I asserted was WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA ON WHETHER ACTUALLY REMOVING THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF KIDS WILL HELP. You're not addressing my point, you're just busy with your own talking point that nobody's disputing.
