I believe the traditional solution to #3 was to get married before having kids. Life is a lot less stressful if you're

1. not alone

and

2. financially secure

and when it's a family of 2 adults plus kids, that means either one losing their job will not impact the family as strongly as if it was a single mom.



Also, these days, most women in their early 30s in the cities where big tech companies are hiring still don't have kids.


Most women in this country don't live in SF, Seattle, NYC or LA. Most women in America have kids by the time they're in their early 20s. These are the women who are emerging after 18 years and trying to find a way into tech jobs. And failing that, are falling for ponzi schemes and memes.
