[quote=Anonymous]Having babies used to be a change in status for women. Becoming a mother changed peoples perceptions of you. It was the pinnacle of womanhood. Even for royalty. Now with education, career and volunteering women can have status and a place in society without motherhood. And since having children is tough, ties you to a potentially unreliable partner and is expensive its not as desirable if there are other options. And in western societies there is a lot of unconscious weighting of those factors. Women want to be ready and in the right place to have children as opposed to that being the goal of their up to then life. [/quote]
