Some women are fine with their decision to do so. Others consciously do it as a personal sacrifice because they would also love to start their family.

I understand that point of view, but imo it feels like more now than it ever did back then. Now I wouldn't be giving up nebulous possibilities, I'd be giving up what I actually possess. There was much, much less to lose back then. Understandably this doesn't seem to be a problem for a lot of single women I know.
