No offense... but I'd call a woman's decision, whatever it was as "none of your business". Do what feels right for you. I find it ironic that you complain about certain women shunning motherhood, when all you're doing is dismissing the alternative.
Gender roles existed for millenia because they were necessary for society at the time to function. The need to conform to many of them has gradually become obsolete. Simple as that.

You missed my point. You read the first line and ignored the rest!
But as you went off, I’ll reply to that. Hell yeah it’s selfish if every woman says they don't want kids just because hey, someone else will have kids! I never said it was selfish if she had her reasons! If she is not stable mentally or financially, that’s the last thing she should ever do. If she knows and feels like she'll be a horrible parent, then by all means, stay away from kids, if she thinks the child won’t be brought up in a loving environment, then don’t have kids. BUT, if she doesn't want to have kids because she thinks that she can't pursue a career and that money is the most important thing in her life, or that she has the attitude of, “why the hell should I do it? It’s so unfair that us women have to give birth and men do nothing” then, not meaning to sound rude, but she can f*** off! IN my opinion!
And what is exactly the other alternative? I don't know what you meant by that!
And necessary for society at the time of function? What are you saying, it’s not necessary anymore? Are you telling me that women don’t need to give birth anymore and that it’s ok for the human race to just die out because we don’t need to give birth anymore?? Dude, what are you talking about? Having children is a necessity and will always be.
You know, I found a funny article the other day. Some research was done on the US, France, UK, and Canada! They found that many people were not “very” happy with the fact that there seemed to be so many immigrants in their countries! The article suggested that because many of the people in these countries have a “modern” mindset, they don’t wish to have a lot of children and they choose other things in their life, it appeared that there were more foreigners, but it was actually that there were less of them being born! The article finished with a funny line. It was something like, “If we all followed the mindset of the average western workaholic, then in no more than one century the worlds populations will be less than 50million and we could face extinction soon thereafter!”
