One of the founders of feminism, Simone de Beauvoir stated women should not have the choice:

"No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one."

• "Sex, Society, and the Female Dilemma," Saturday Review, June 14, 1975.

women who buy into that give up being a first rate woman to become a second rate man. They only realize it in their late 30s or 40s once it is too late for them to start a family with a man.
