This bothers me a bit.  There are only so many hours in a day.  Losing a parent as a child changes the course of your life.  Btdt.  I just don't see how she can be there for her kids as they deal with their grief, while still "leaning in", working, writing books, and dating.   That's the part that makes me question her perspective. [/quote]

Well I think she is doing some good for the world. I'm grateful there are women out there who will sacrifice time with their children for the greater good. I'm not one of those women, so I'm glad they are out there. If every mom cut back dramatically, it would be even more of a man's world than it already is. I think Mark Z is seriously considering running for office and I think she is helping to lay the groundwork. She has done a lot of good for women internationally and women in tech. She did take some time after the death of her husband, but I mean, he died what 2-3 years ago now? Her children are likely thriving in their routine, and i'm sure have loving caregivers who help when she is away.

Again, this lifestyle is not for me, but I don't want every women who has or wants kids to think they can't be a leader. [/quote]
Are you a woman in tech?  I am.  I don't think she's done much for women in tech specifically, but I'd be interested if you have a counter-perspective on this.  I also think it's disingenuous for her to present herself as a "woman in tech" in the same way that those of us in technical parts of tech companies are.

I'm also curious what qualifications you think Mark Z. has for political office.  I don't see it, myself.[/quote]
