Meiji Imperial Japan was a modern industrial civilization, its birthrates did not collapse from industrialization. They were collapsed by the United States government violently imposing women’s rights on Japan.
Female emancipation happened multiple times in the past, thousands of years before the industrial revolution (Mycenaean aristocratic women being allowed to choose their mates. Late Abbasid Caliphate lawyer cunts).
