6. I don't know any well-educated women who have lots of children
They max out at three, and even that's uncommon. It seems to happen usually when the first two are of the same gender.

However, there is a belief (I don't know how common it is) that one should have a lot of children if one can afford it. It's a kind of elitist view, the idea that ("low quality") poor people are having too many children and "high-quality" rich people aren't having enough. It's the new eugenics.
