[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Good lord, you are making our point. It takes two people to have a baby. Two people should be taking parental leave of identical duration, but that doesn't happen until women are holding the purse and are pervasive in the boardroom, in the C-suite, and in federal/state/local government. Some people would say it is a chicken-or-egg situation where the workforce needs to change before women are able to comfortably stay in droves, but as a PP said, history has shown us that it's not actually that complicated. It will take generations of us being [b]un[/b]comfortable and not making the "easy" choice. And those of us who have more than enough money to stay at home -- which is what this threat is about -- are also those uniquely positioned (either because of wealth, education, or position) to make significant headway.[/quote] Misspoke: it takes two people to [b]make [/b] a baby, and I get the nuances there re single parents. But the point stands for married and single parents alike -- all benefit from women staying and becoming leaders in the workplace.[/quote]
