Women can be CEOs and have families. They can certainly have it all in that sense. But in doing so, they are going to have to make the same time-family sacrifices that men do. Thats really the point I wanted to make. Any good man wants to spend as much time as possible with their kids, just like woman do. I think presenting this as a new conundrum is a slap in the face to many men.

I agree that being a white male is the best starting point, for sure. I wouldn't know... I'm brownish.

You're right though, capability is something that is earned and many people don't get the chance or the tools to do so.

All this said, I'm done with work and I can hear my daughter laughing in the other room. See-ya suckers!

How can the laughter in your daughter's eyes possibly compete with a political discussion about sexism in the workplace with people on the internet? Please...

It was a fun afternoon. We went to the pool and then got tacos. Daddy/daughter time is pretty kick ass. Now back to why sexism in the workplace is moot... jk.
