Tough to challenge his comments. Anyone would lose the argument. Very very few people do work of such meaning that it overshadows the meaning gained through having a family.

I was a woman who never wanted children. I was fortunate enough to find the career I wanted, and I loved it and didn't find it stressful.

But I have no problem acknowledging the deep importance of motherhood. I am not diminished by that. I would object to someone saying that a woman's only possible contribution to society would be through motherhood; but no one is arguing that should be the case--just that motherhood is right at the top.

Absolutely right! How many people honestly "live to work"? I don't believe this to be the case. Feminist women (which I think means most) will pretend otherwise to the death, but it's all to prop up their own ego and power. Those who are older are lying, and the younger ones starting out are brainwashed.
