[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I am really sick of people bashing both Sheryl Sandberg and Anne-Marie Slaughter.  They aren't speaking for all women.  Men write books about business leadership all the time, or about being a world champion athlete.

The question both of these women ask is how the brightest, most talented, most fortunate women can achieve their dreams.  These women were not just smart or rich, they were valedictorians at places like Harvard.

No one doubts that a man like this could go be CEO, run a white shoe law firm, be president even and still have a family, even if not being as involved day to day.  But could a woman do this?  Could *any* woman?  This is a valid question even if it doesn't relate exactly to the vast majority of women's experiences.  I'm not sure they give the best possible advice, but to claim it's not a conversation worth having is really demeaning to women.  When we start having a conversation about how *anyone* can do this then we've won.  But no one is having that conversation.    [/quote]
