I'd guess there's an old money / new money cultural difference in the assortive pairings.
In my experience new money wealth marries young / hot not necessarily wealthy.

Often these stifling parents will only have one or two children. If the goal is four or more different styles of parenting are necessary along with greater demands on home making for a larger family.
Is it the top women selecting WFH positions? These typically don't have the challenge or prestige top women are looking for. The bulk of the WFH ladies are mid, many in fake email jobs.

Are these very wealthy women, or the wives / partners of very wealthy men?

contribute to the future of humanity
The best way for top women to contribute to the future of humanity is by bearing humanities future directly.

I'm not going to say it's impossible, but there wasn't an abundance of successful examples.
Despite the efforts to reduce the working hours of junior doctors, it's still alot of work frequently at odd hours. If the program has an academic commitment or requirement this is often on-top.
We were fortunate that there was no school debt.
We were also fortunate to have a very easy time conceiving.

We 'waited' seven years. We'd likely have more than 4 if we started earlier. My wife was trying for a top decile career.
Not blue tribe in any sense.
I can have empathy for gay men
I can have sympathy for all sinners. All are tempted by sin. None of us has lived a perfect life. Yet we are commanded to turn away from sin and repent, while bearing our burdens.
Unrepentant sinners can be treated as pagans or tax collectors. If I'm not expected to have fellowship them why would I be expected to endorse a social or cultural belief that this behavior is fine. Where we will not be heard, we should shake of the dust and move on, our pearls are not for swine. We should not give what is holy to dogs the unrepentant dressed as dogs or cartoon animals as part of degenerate sexual role play.
The idolatry and love of sin is the problem, not lack of empathy.

Oh.
I'd rather see it all on fire than more of that kind of 'win'.

because it's better than the alternative
Is the alternative burning it down? A quick hot fire can lead to renewal.

Isn't this a bit, stated preference vs. revealed preference?

It's nice to be noticed. 🙂

doubt the SAHM thing will be an option
I know what you mean.
During the maternity leave for our 2nd it gave us a glimpse into what it could be like.
The loss of income has impacted our lifestyle. We're not jetting around anymore as much. Though we did manage 3 weeks abroad this year with the children.
Generally I think we're happier. I don't think the locum roles were intrinsically rewarding or fulfilling.

It scales a bit. After reasonable success with the first one, the 2nd was different but less anxiety producing. The 3rd and 4th even less so.
We had been DINK for some time. After the 2nd there was a move so my wife could be a SAHM. I don't think we'd have 4 if we were still both working in demanding careers shuttleing the kids between creche / daycare and school etc.

I would think that applying the gender-transition model to cancer would be for cancer patients to identify as a Cancer-person and advocating for Cancer-person pride.
In my mind applying the cancer model to gender dysphoria would be targeted treatment to realign the misperception of their gender with their anatomy. Restoring their natural anatomy to health.

wants to ban transgenderism in adults
Not just adults, kids too. I'd also like to ban cancer in adults, or treat transgenderism as we do cancer.

Is buying blood of teenage boys better than other 'fluids'?

I don't think Richard Spencer's endorsement matters, but I think his motivation may.
It reads to me like the 'Sex traffickers for Harris' yard signs I saw. Mocking.

Extra votes for my in-group.
Married men, with children born of the marriage get extra votes for their children, provided they're not drawing state benefits.

Isn't this for accelerationist reasons?

forgotten about or never heard of
It gave us this:
They're doing it so after communists leftists burn the Reichtag Capitol and Hitler Trump suspendeds civil liberties they can say we told you so.

Why all at large and not two at large and one from each district?

The other potential takeaway is that the media lied about Hitler the same as they lie about Trump.
I have four children and I'm with you on this. Yet I think there may be something to the discomfort in accepting the thanks / reward for doing something pro-social that not enough capable people are doing.
What is the source of the "that's so weird" discomfort? It feels a bit like embarrassment to me. I'd rather heap shame on the childfree.
