Dr. Corinne Low

Thank you so much for having me.

I can't wait to dive into this.

Yeah.

So that is...

When we chose the title, we chose it to sort of be ironic and we wanted to show that irony a little bit.

And so if you've seen the book, the cover of the book has like dinner on fire and like your inbox exploding and your coffee spilled and your baby crying.

Which is so me right now because I decided to have a baby and a book baby at the same time.

And so I've been like pumping in planes, trains, and automobiles, running through the airport, spilling breast milk, you know, all of those things.

So having it all is sort of too much.

And the reason it's too much, there's a reason, the reason it's too much is that as gender roles have changed in the workforce, they haven't changed at home.

So we are now able to do the same things at work as men.

And so we think there's no reason I shouldn't be as successful as my male colleagues.

I'm just as good, right?

Gender roles have converged at work.

We see women's time in the workplace go up.

but we don't see men's time at home go up.

So then when it comes to those gender tasks at home, you named them, including taking care of our aging parents, men's roles haven't changed.

So we are trying to like be a two-way player, play offense and defense.

Well, meanwhile, we're partnered with people who are just like, well, I'm just gonna stay over here on offense.

You handle all blocking all those shots, right?
