I'm really glad that women are now able to choose the mommy-track and not feel guilty.

I don't think this is actually the case. I would love to stay home and start a family someday (if I ever get the right guy- which is its own a whole other story) and I can't imagine telling a guy my age this (I am 31)- they only seem interested in having someone help them pay the bills and not stay home or raise a family. And that's IF they can commit to getting married. And even if- I would still face a lot of scorn from other educated women if they heard that is what I would want to do. So I don't think it's quite that easy--- only nowadays the pressure comes from other women and the expectations that "liberation" puts on girls these days.

Wow, you seem like my kind of lady!

Ooops - had a vasectomy. Sorry. Darn.
