If you'll allow me to shift the goalposts, then it was men deciding to have kids. Has there ever been a society where men thought the world was too terrible to puts kids into? Assuming men and women have similar interest in the quality of life of their children, it should be the same feeling among women.

Of course women have all sorts of other reasons for not having kids, which they'll be using to actually have fewer kids, but imagining that they'll suffer from the bad world doesn't sound like a real reason and more of a political statement to make it look like they're very concerned about the popular worries about the world.
