Your point was that there are choices, and we are free to make whatever choice we want. However, these days, women who make a more "traditional" choice is often seen as being worse off than someone who decides to have a career, never marry or have children. Sure, she's asked the often tiring "hey, when are you going to settle and have kids" question, but it never sounds as bad as the "that's nice, dear" (also known as the "Oh" comment) comment that many SAHMs get. Especially SAHMs with graduate degrees. Did you see the Oprah episode with the cast of MLS? Remember what the girl at the end said and how her ideas often conflicted with her mom's?
