It sounds a lot like you're saying that all women really want is to have kids. I personally do want kids, but I also want to be a great programmer. The "equality thing" has not shot way over it's target. Until men and women have equal salaries and equal child-care and maternity/paternity benefits, we are still under target.
Yes, I would choose my family over my job any day, but I shouldn't need to choose. Men don't have to.
The phrasing here is a little degrading, isn't it? As a female software developer, I'm dumber than other women for doing what I enjoy?
And amen to a lot of the other comments defending CS and IT jobs.
What was the point of this exercise?
