I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Yours is an opinion shared by many folks, and is the most common-sense explanation about career differences between men and women: they want different things. Obviously, things happen to both men and women that either encourage or prevent certain career choices. Obviously, not to the same degrees. We should at least be able to apply Occam's razor to this issue as we do to many other issues.
