re: The goal of many Gen Z and millennial women is now to be a DINK—dual income and no kids

It's sad if your children are your parachute.
I agree. The original point was that in the same way you don’t have to experience a free fall to know the value of a parachute, you don’t have to experience childlessness in old age to know how much that would suck.

No, your original point was that burdening your children with taking care of you when you can't do it yourself is somehow cause to have children in the first place.
Your parachute example was terrible because there's a very likely predetermined outcome if you jump out of an airplane and can't slow yourself down before hitting the ground.

DBs feigned indignation at your metaphor is a red herring anyway. Children are the parachute for every subsequent generation, whether someone chooses to contribute to that or not. The last generation of humanity is going to have a real bad time.
Either way, the concept of staying in the lane you're assigned based on your identity or "lived experience" is weak. It's an attempt to avoid debate on a topic for which you have a shaky position.
