Catch-22 of Punishing Women for Careers

This needs to be spread wider, even though it's only in a comment at Pandagon. Posted by LisaKS:

no matter what you, fertile woman of childbearing age does, you are just so, so WRONG. It’s almost beautiful in its circular totality. You:

1. Get married, get pregnant, have a baby, stay home to take care of it. Leech! Lazy!
2. Get married, get pregnant, have a baby, put in in daycare and go to work. Uncaring! Unmaternal!
3. Get married, get pregnant, have an abortion. Immoral! Murderer!
4. Get married, choose to never get pregnant. Selfish! Unnatural!
5. Don’t get married, get pregnant, have a baby, stay home and take care of it. Slut! Leech!
6. Don’t get married, get pregnant, have a baby, put it in daycare and go to work. Slut! Uncaring!
7. Don’t get married, get pregnant, have an abortion. Slut! Murderer!
8. Don’t get married, choose to never get pregnant. Unnatural! Ugly! (cause the only reason a woman would ever be in this situation is cause no man wants her, of course)
