The future for female fertility according to the man who created the Pill
..his vision of the future, Professor Djerassi sees egg freezing as a fundamental tool of family planning - empowering women further...
‘It is already happening at Stanford, where I teach. Women assistant professors on a tough ten-year career path, working 60 or 80 hours a week, are freezing their eggs for later use.’

Whoah!
Women chained to a 60-80 hour workweek, for 10 or so years wherein they are not 'burdened' by pregnancy and child-rearing. Thanks to the pill!
Good thing there is a solution according to Professor Djerassi: these women can freeze their eggs for later use. Of course, the wonders of In-Vitrio Fertilization and Embryo Transfer. Meanwhile her live-in partner can enjoy sex with her all he wants, without any of the consequences and attendant responsibilities (say, a child for example).
Sooner or later, her live-in partner would likely ditch this busy and aging career woman to live-in with another partner of his choice. A younger one definitely. Now this empowered woman will most probably grow old alone.
Professor Djerassi, the father of the pill, calls this scenario: "empowering women further".
No, I think he's serious. Well maybe a tad crazy, but serious.
