Don't you know yet that neurobiology has shown that free will/agency is a myth? (I'm also replying here to all the other comments about a so-called "choice") These women are culturally conditioned to think it's acceptable for them to not contribute back to society by being producers and they perpetuate making gender roles culturally acceptable.

Maybe you've been conditioned to think that raising children does not contribute to society. I guess having both partners working to death is the new normal. Such widespread belief might explain why employers don't respect paternity leaves.
That has nothing to do with the topic! The last line of my comment even mentioned paternity leave.
Some women gladly leave their career in favor of their children. Some men do it too, despite the stigma that "raising a child does not contribute back to society". Deal with it.
The problem (as someone already mentionned in this thread) being that you can't actually raise children without some prerequisite things that need to be produced. I'm actually arguing against sex-based division of labor. Women & men should echo do doing 50% of the producing and raising not women 100% of raising and men 100% of producing.
