Part 3/10:
Acknowledging that having children impacts a woman’s career trajectory, the conversation stresses that parenthood must take precedence because children depend entirely on their mothers or caregivers. It’s not an all-or-nothing debate but a recognition that sacrifices are inevitable. Some consider these sacrifices worthwhile; others may feel differently.
The discussion urges society to create mechanisms that support women through these stages of life, enabling them to attain big careers after their children are grown. This idea underscores the importance of societal infrastructure in fostering a balanced approach to career and family. The core message is that society must recognize and respect that children require maternal presence, and neglecting this fact is problematic.
