A fifth of female lawyers choose kids over careers

Delete "pressures of motherhood" in the article title and replace with "the inability of male driven partnerships and female partners who just want to protect their own to understand that some female lawyers want to look after their children in person in addition to having them". The women at the top are the ones who probably took the least maternity leave or more likely the ones who started motherhood after 35. And anyway which new mother wants to work for a woman who who never sees her own kids and thus judges your child care arrangements by hers? The men at the top are the ones who probably throw so much money at their wives for nannies that they don't understand what motherhood actually entails. Working for most city law firms is a lose lose situation for any real woman wanting to be a real mother.
