"The postfeminist mommy track"
Cathy Young of the libertarian Reason magazine comments on a recent Times article: apparently high-achieving Ivy gals are planning to put motherhood ahead of conventional careers:
One could argue that stay-at-home mothers, present or future, are exercising their freedom of choice in the most feminist way possible. Yes, this likely means that women will not reach parity in leadership positions. But to ask women to sacrifice their personal aspirations to a feminist vision of parity would be a peculiar kind of liberation.

We already have a generation or 2 of women who lament their missed chance at a family at the expense of a professional career.
I know many. And the younger college-age women do to, it seems.
