There's the part you mention, with the supposedly derogatory term of "breeders" applied to people who have the temerity to produce children. There's also the dramatic cultural shift toward self-centeredness and self-fulfillment. "Follow your heart!" "Me time." "Self-care." In terms of caring for one's mental and physical health, this used to be framed such that you prepared yourself to be a useful and productive member of your family and society, not that you were doing it for yourself. The "follow your heart" nonsense emphasizes feeling over thinking, and seems to be aimed at much more, but also weighs in here. Humans have been ruining the earth. But we need to raise better humans to fix it.
