[quote=Anonymous]Well, the article is obviously saying it doesn't matter whether you lean in or out, you just aren't likely to get to the top. I think that is definitely true. And I also think a large part of it is attributable to, as said upthread, the corporate culture has little value for middle aged women. Men like to work with young professional women or their peers. In my experience, this makes it harder for young professional men than women until they are about 35 and then it is harder for the women. Much harder. They aren't considered attractive/young and good at their job, a triple threat by goodness! but rather just an old lady. It really is rampant sexism but not the kind that the media or we think is sexy so it goes unremarked upon. Its not being oogled or hit on or passed over because of your sex, its being put out to pasture and ignored. That is really so often the issue.[/quote]
