I can quite understand her being annoyed by questions like "what is your son going to think?", "what does your mother say?, "where is your son in the book?". She is quite right - male authors are not subjected to these sorts of questions that seem to me to imply that she is somehow at fault.
I thought it was a very good article and because it raises an issue that affects all women (i.e. that they are expected, as women, to conform in ways that are not expected of men), I don't think it indicates self-centredness.
