“I wish the women represented here were more diverse, started from other places, and that the advice wasn’t so privileged. The leader of the NYC Marathon basically said she had kids because she didn’t want to be a lawyer forever. What kind of advice is that?? What about those of us who want both career and kids, but everyone else just says “lean in”? Every interview is about women who already came from wealth and/or had the luxury of many choices. The CFO who took her baby to a meeting because she had no childcare - yeah right. Anyone below the C-suite level would be harshly, perhaps quietly, punished for “not properly managing her job priorities”.
I consider myself very lucky to be middle class and educated, and even I was squirming at the privilege and entitlement these women speak from. I’ve unsubscribed.”
