Could anyone have foreseen a scenario where a female inquires of a male whether having children automatically makes one a high achiever? Why is it that men often attribute a woman's childbearing to being the central focus of their professional lives?

I agree, Jenny! It's truly perplexing how such assumptions persist in our society. It's essential to recognize that one's ability to achieve greatness is not determined by their gender or their choice to have children. Success in one's professional life is a result of skills, dedication, and passion, irrespective of personal choices like parenthood. We must challenge and change these outdated stereotypes to create a more equitable and inclusive world for all.
