A woman (or man) deciding to not have children isn't selfish. In my opinion, it's more fucking selfish for someone to have a child that they don't really want just because people expect them too.
Like, no every single person has the desire or emotional capacity to deal with raising a child 24/7.
Yes, I do, actually want children one day but I am also at a place where I need to think really hard about the impact it will have on my emotional well-being. No, I can't just have a baby and not worry about it. People with certain mental health issues have a higher tendency to develop Postpartum Depression so WHEN/IF I decide to try for a baby...I am going to have to discuss it with my psychiatrist so that I can work up a way to handle it IF I have to handle it.
