Sorry, that argument does not entirely fly (pun not intended, but greatly enjoyed). Not that I don't appreciate it, especially since I know those rules apply to you somewhat, you being white, very educated, almost unusually empowered, especially for a woman (you might forget that, being surrounded by a number of other intelligent,empowered woman) and perhaps haveing a string of options that not everyone else has. Doesn't mean it applies to everyone. And btw, not everyone selects their career. Sometimes they do what they are called to or what they are most talented at, depending on their skills, and have to go where the work is available, especially in these times. And sometimes folks deal with health issues/disabilities, and have to be close to familial support, wherever that might be.
