Yes.

And that tells me that there's something awry with this trend.

This article actually made me quite sad.

The idea that it says that for all of human history women's ambition has been condemned except for this brief period between 2013 and 2020, that really hit home for me because it's true.

Yeah, it's true.

And I just think that it's also a little disingenuous for all these authors that are cited in here to tell us how they're just so lazy now and they do nothing but eat banana bread.

But I'm reading this in books they've written.

Now, I've never written a book, but I think that they're quite time consuming is what I've heard.

And they're quite impressive achievements.

So don't tell me how lazy you are when I'm reading it in a book you wrote.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Look, I hate to be doing this, but I'm going to defend Sheryl Sandberg.

I'm sorry, but I have to.

I do think that the whole lean-in idea got completely misunderstood by everyone.

The whole idea was that you're meant to – instead of preemptively saying, well, I want to have kids –

therefore I'm not going to work as hard just in preparation for that.

She's like, no, just keep working hard until the point that you want to have kids and then you can reassess.

That was all she was saying with lean in.

She was saying lean in until you can't lean in anymore.
