As a man, I’m support this movement. Mainly because we don’t need more people on this crowded miserable planet. 7 billions is more than enough, preferably 3-4 billions.

The best way to do this is increase the wealth of 2nd and 3rd world countries.

Getting rid of the Catholic Church that are anti-contraception might also work

Well, to increase the education of women in those countries (and poor areas of developed nations).

Not just education. The country needs to be developed enough so that more children does not mean richer parents.

What do you mean? How does having more children make parents richer?

Children as a source of income: kids are labor for household chores in urban cities. They are used for agriculture and factories.

Retirement: Multiple kids means multiple incomes from which your "pension" will be funded.

As a man, I am also going to withhold sex from other men, for the 31st year running.

Not a big deal if you are in your 70s.

Unfortunately it's 8 billion right now.
