This is what was answered-- it's about what people in general want, it's not about what the typical LW reader might want.
Now that I think about it, the idea that women should have ambitions outside their families is pretty new so far as I know. So is the idea that everyone should aim for being extraordinary.
My thanks to everyone who voted Lumifer's comments up-- I wasn't will to take a karma penalty to reply.
That all women should have ambitions outside of Kinder, Küche, Kirche (children, kitchen, church) might be a new idea, but for women belonging to elites it was acceptable for a long time -- ruling queens are certainly not unknown in antiquity: Cleopatra, Boadicea, etc.
Yes, I meant the idea that all women should have ambitions outside the home.
I'm not sure that ruling queens became such because of their ambition, or if they inherited the job.
