[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Lean In" was a lot about having a perfect husband.  In that sense it was a weird feminist proclamation.  Her construct ignored those who aren't in a perfect marital situation, and unfortunately that is where she sits now.[/quote]

Not really a "perfect" husband, but a full equal partner (husband or wife).  I do think that's a fair point.  Truth is, you really can't lean in if you don't have that.  And you're much better off marrying someone who wants to be that than marrying someone who doesn't.[/quote]

There were always questions about how much this couple devoted to raising their kids.  Dave Goldberg was placed on a pedestal as an ideal husband, was the lesser half of a power couple, ran a tech firm, etc.  Seems like a lot of pressure.  Calls into question to what extent you can have it all.  The trade offs when you are a billionaire in charge of hundreds of billions of investor market cap are daunting.  But everyone has regrets in life.  Everyone wonders about the road not taken at the fork in the path.[/quote]
