Can't agree here -- I don't think it was sexist at all.  At the beginning I
might have agreed with you, with the photographer's boyfriend throwing a
tantrum.  But actually, he's not asking for her to give up her career, or
the job she wants to take; he wants her to marry him AND take the job, but
she wants to be home as the child is raised.  And at the end, she decides to
take the job.  She doesn't look unsympathetic at all for having chosen a
career over a child; but the impact of her decision is nicely played out.
TWILIGHT ZONE is getting to be a real class act (THE WISH BANK episode that
followed this one was hilarious).

                   London, not America."
