[quote=Anonymous]Lean in was never geared towards everyone. It was geared towards professional women who are interested in having careers in dual career families. It acknowledges that the choice to "lean in" is a choice of privilege (not everyone is afforded the opportunities and educational attainment to have a career), not everyone [i]wants [/i]to have a career, and being a SAH mom is a legit choice (and sometimes necessary if your child, say, has special needs). That said, it was advice for managing one's career in an society that can range from ambivalent to hostile towards women who choose to have families and careers and socializes women to behave differently than men, which should be obvious given how vitriolic this forum can get. Basically, Lean In is a self-help book for a tiny portion of society, and it really isn't useful if you do not fall in that demographic.[/quote]
