It might be a funny thing
Usually when a dude dies they say “he leaves behind a loving wife, 3 beautiful kids and 16 grand kids”
Since I’m not planning to have kids or get married, and my parents are old
When I die, they will say “he leaves behind his 2013 used Lexus and two boxes of collectible baseball cards”

What if you don't get a son? Sounds way too much of a gamble to me.
Also kids in rich dysfunctional families don't usually end up good.

Is that a world worth putting on them? Especially on men, today?

Why do you want to create children who will experience it then though?

If you willingly wish that on your children, I can't relate I guess.
I'd rather not have been born to feed others' needs and illusions of grandeur.
Humans will all die out either way, the "point" then is apparently just prolonging the collective suffering of the species as long as possible.

I don't? It's really not out of anyone's control since we invented birth control?
And if they weren't born, they literally could not be upset about it since they wouldn't exist to experience any suffering or needs? You can't harm non-existent "people" by not bringing them into existence. The reverse is not so true, in fact you will inevitably harm them by dooming them to suffering and death no human can avoid.
