To my observation women are plenty smart on the home front. They understand much better than men what the true costs are to parenting. It's the men who go around spreading their seed and not sticking around that are at least 50% of the responsibility here... if not more.

While I completely agree, the problem
IS the lack of education and opportunity for women.
Men tend to enjoy the privledges and education that most women do not; especially in 3rd world countries.
An uneducated woman stays home and gets knocked up over and over again.
An educated woman does not.
Men are usually willing to fill the hole between a womans thighs regardless of education or socio-economics.
Its much tougher to break traditional societal gender roles, than it is to educate women on family planning, and allowing them to be gainfully employed. Thats the problem.
Its no secret that countires where women are more educated and are a vital part of the work force, are the countries with the lowest number of children per couple...
