i am just basing it on my friends
and their parents. certainly out of all my friends to have had kids, it is the woman who has not gone back to work. and hardly any of my friends' mothers worked when we were growing up, although mine did. this is usually because their husband earns more money, but quite a few of them have said to me that something mushy just happens inside your head when you have one child, so that all you want to do is have MOAR BABIES and MAKE THE HOUSE ALL HOMELY-LIKE.

You're confusing wanting to look after your family
with women doing the identical job as men being paid less money purely because of their lack of a penis.

i can only speak about the people i work with and/or know well
and this is what has happened: for those with families, ambition gets replaced with home-making. for those without, the pay is equal.

anything outside my friends and colleagues, i don't know enough about it to comment. not that this usually stops me.
