This woman’s life expectancy is probably 80 or more years. If she takes 20 years off to raise kids, she still has decades afterwards to pursue her own interests.
Women really can have it all. They just cannot have it all at once.

Exactly.

And women (being the superior sex, after all) just get better mentally and intellectually, with age.

Restarting a career after many years out of the workforce while raising children is very difficult, especially the older you become. Speaking from experience here.

I agree 100%. UNLESS you have a truly important job, the time spent at home with your young children is far more valuable. It’s hard to understand when they are very young, but they do grow up very quickly, Before you know, they are gone.
