How about ‘both-and?’
Feminism has probably made marriage less attractive in some cases, as some women become more militant and less feminine and thus less attractive to the average American man.
In addition, I think we’ve lived/are still living through the greatest economic expansion in the history of the world. As such, we’re all more spoiled and soft than we realize. We cannot discount this factor. That includes many of the marriagable men.
I think it’s easy to reduce the problem to one convenient cause when a constellation of causes seems in order.
One other interesting trend does seem to be emerging: men who do marry seem to be having more children today. This pendulum may swing the marrige rate back too.
No matter how politically obsolete feminism tries to make men, the reality has never changed: women need men and vice versa.
