Having children demonstrates one of two things: wealth, or intelligence.

On one hand, if you can afford to overcome the obstacles, children seem like a good idea, usually from family wealth, since nobody is going to become wealthy. You're either born into it, or you're extremely lucky and you win the lotto or something, which is so unlikely it's hardly worth mentioning.

On the other hand, if you're too dumb to know how fucked we all are, or you're too dumb to use protection in some form.... Well. Yay kids? Idk.

Everyone with somewhere close to an "average" IQ, or better, who isn't part of the upper class with family wealth, is basically represented here.
