i thintk that there is a lot of pressure these days for women to 'do it
all'. have the career. have the kids. and you can't do it. and some women
feel like if they don't do the career, they're letting down the previous
generation. there is even subtle guilt from them to us that 'they fought
so hard for equal...' and then we turned it down to do something else.
