[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women don't need systemic bias to hold them back in the workplace-- it seems like we're perfectly capable of tearing each other down.  Just because Sheryl Sandberg is massively successful and rich with money she made herself does not mean that she's a cold and calculating opportunist.  Just because she has a big slice of the pie doesn't mean you've lost yours.  There's a lot of pie to go around.

We should be congratulating women who have been so successful in their careers and see it as a victory for us all, without rushing to assume she must have accomplished it by selling out her marriage and kids.  If anyone's actually read Lean In, you'd see that she is committed to her family.

You'd also read about the study that was done showing that people perceive successful men to be more likeable but successful women with the exact same credentials to be less likable.  Imagine that.

As for Lean In, kuddos to her for putting her ideas out there.  You don't like them? Write your own book.

Please, step away from the soapbox.  This isn't even vaguely related to the rest of the thread.  [/quote]
