I think we've made significant progress & will make more in supporting people's rights not to live according to gender roles. This is good.

Yes, of course. My point was that you seemed to say that being pressured into taking high tech jobs coz status doesn't reflect real choice

But somehow if government makes very easy to pick high status occupation (being considered a good mother), somehow that reflects true choice

I'm not sure what you mean? People can also be pressured into being mothers, yes. But women do this less in countries with more choice too.

So much so that much of the west is no longer reproducing itself. Which cld cause some logistical problems but is ethically fine.
