[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually read lean in and the whole point is to lean in BEFORE your kids are born so that you are powerfully enough to have flexibility when they are actually here. It’s not “leaning out” to exercise workplace flexibility as a mom—it’s taking advantage of the fruits of leaning in. [/quote]

Marissa Mayer had a nursery built in her office at Yahoo when she had her twins.  [/quote]
And then she rescinded telework for all her employees.[/quote]

i really felt that whole book and time in the 2010s was really unfair to women.

like holding up marissa mayer and sheryl sandberg as these "ideal working parent" types was really detrimental to my mental well being at the time. what marissa and sheryl dont tell you is the amount of money it took for them to be supported in "doing it all." and i didnt get that as a 25 year old woman starting out in my career. i held them up as the example of what i needed to be, not taking into account that the three of us are not playing the game on the same field or with the same equipment.
