[quote=Anonymous][quote]I would think much more highly of her if she spent some time improving the stats and conditions for women at FB and then wrote a book about how other companies could do the same or how women could successfully advocate for their employers to do the same. Instead she wrote a book about how to succeed in the current system (which is a fine autobiographical/self-helpy thing to do) and decided to call it a movement.[/quote]

+1.

I can appreciate the lesson of making the right choices, but what's turned me off is the assumption that everyone has the same options.  Worse, that we all want the same things - or [i]should [/i]want those things if we want to ensure that [i]some [/i]women [i]can [/i]have those things.

The other thing that bugs me is that it feels counterproductive to argue that "successful" work-life balance is a woman's challenge.  My husband prioritizes his family and strives for it; I expect my son to strive for it.  Wouldn't the movement be that much stronger if they could join it?  I don't see women gaining much by making the issues gender-specific.[/quote]
