I wonder why nobody has brought up the fact when most women are starting to climb the corporate ladder, or just come into their career, they start having babies, starting their families and are less interested in ruling the corporate world as they are being with their families and raising their kids.

And who can blame them really?

I wondered why the author didn't bring that up either. Just talking about how women are nurturing / expected to be nurturing isn't the whole story. These expectations translate into the idea that women have to be the primary caretakers of their kids, but men do not unless they really want to and decide to go against the grain. And lots of women feel guilty if they are a "bad mother"!
