Because of this: in many high companies, you have "peer interviews." One "no" and you are out. There are men who do not want to work with women as peers. Some consider it an insult due to their culture. They will vaguely say a woman "is not a good fit" and she gets kicked out. Places like Amazon - they don't even need…

Why should only women be interviewed by at least one woman. Why not every candidate? Because frankly, scraping up one woman for an interview committee, if you can't do that - you have a gender problem.

Good point. An even better point would be for all men to be interviewed by at least one woman.

If you substitute finance with high tech, then the story is the same. A book came out this week about what it's like to work at FaceBook. If you are a guy, you get help with all the ins and outs and guided to good projects. If you are a guy, it doesn't matter if you are overweight or not very good looking. If you are…

Actually the truth is always helpful. Bias is not imagined. It pays to reinforce that fact with actual studies. It also says to us that simply getting girls and women more education or training them to "ask for more" is not going to fix it - all the reasons we are told bias exists by people who want to put their heads…

Yes. I think that both girls and boys aren't educated on career and even labor laws. But particularly girls can have a blind eye towards how they will achieve buying a home, if they want it. In some small towns I know, it seems the girls marry and divorce because that is the only way they see to get real estate. Some…

It doesn't say anything about marriage. They broke up. He packed up his stuff. He left.

Hey how about spending federal money educating girls on the Ledbetter Act?

Exactly. And also when a woman says "I shouldn't have to work." Um, what gives you the right to hand all responsibility for money and benefits to another human being? Some women who wave their right not to work have such a small regard for men. Like they are not such evolved beings as to be able to enjoy parenting,…

Why is it that the man's job make 300% more than a woman's? I just wonder why you have girls and boys in classrooms sitting in rows and the girls think, gee, I don't have to look at what the profession I chose makes because it doesn't matter. Could they pick something different? Could they effect change? Or, is it…

"And why on earth should someone go and earn a living if they don't want to and don't need to? So she should be miserable?"

Way to be a soldier in the war on women.

Yes. Pretty much anyone can be a mother. You don't get annual reviews, layoffs, and have to compete with women trying to take your job as mother.

Don't feel too bad, and feel you need to beat yourself up. You pay the price anyway. Their husbands and kids who assume positions of power will just judge you when they hand out pay raises, promotions, cool projects.....

I don't think there is a one to one correlation. But the mom would have had to create an environment where she didn't overwhelmingly set it up that only a "good" woman and mother would not work.

ditto. But I believe that there is a point that the 1percent wives are many of them effecting the lives of other women when they influence the men they married who are leaders and their kids that stay at home moms are morally superior. This is like raising kids who are racist and then when they have to work with that…

You know you forgot one...3) we should look at the forces that declare stay at home moms as best and working women as damaging and unnatural moms.

I can vouch for having seen this mindset in other women. How do you know they have this mindset? Well, they will tell you out and out they plan to quit work and many times add it is the morally superior choice. Others will say they will continue to work only because they HAVE to.

Yeah and... this also... that only really caring moms are stay at home moms.

Um...why is it already decided that you will have to give up the job you fucking love?
