I mean, if you have to quit your job to raise your kid, and quitting your job means you can no longer afford your apartment, is it really THAT selfish to keep working your job?

Not following, you mean women working? I'm not sure where the selfishness is coming in.

I'm talking about women being persuaded by our culture that their value comes from work and entertainment instead of motherhood. The "kids would hold me back" mindset. Which I think a large portion of the time is a cope, not a deeply held belief.
