The second half of that is literally my point. Spousal rape was normal for most of modern human history, and the one time it isn't we drop below replacement rate. Now we don't have the controls to measure how much birth control played into that on its own, but it's at least possible that the human race relied on spousal rape to perpetuate itself
The populations are evening out, not disappearing. But if the path to avoid extinction is rape, then I hope the next sapiens take better care of the Earth than us
Spousal rape still happens, most rape happens without consequence. It's that women have access to birth control that allows them to control how many kids they have.
The reason replacement level is down is because birth control (eg levongestrol) was invented and became in use in the 70s, with global advances in human rights and better financial equity in many places. Since then, the average person has gotten poorer and poorer, it's harder to afford a home, etc, because income inequality has increased and ownership has been stolen from us transaction by transaction.
Look again at my reasons listed for why women do and don't choose to have kids. One of them is financial reasons.
