Yes, the pose is too provocative and though she has the skills, it didn't hurt that she was blond and beautiful.

Do you feel that there's an unreasonable pressure for women to have kids?

Yes, what is necessarily biological isn't necessarily normal. The woman has a choice over what happens to her body and her life.
