So what I worry about is that when we say, don't bring your workplace flexibility question to the interview, we're implicitly saying to women, don't talk about your motherhood here.
Don't bring it up.
Wait till you're eight months till you tell us you're pregnant.
Don't, you know, put, you know, going to have lunch instead of picking up your kid and taking him to a doctor's appointment.
It asks women to hide their motherhood.
And I think the more that we have to hide our motherhood, the more we are going to discriminate against moms.
But you are an exception.
My parents did not even know where I was applying to college.
They didn't review my thing.
They certainly didn't get you a consultant and figure it all out.
And I think it's a lot of why both you and I are, I think intensive parenting is bonkers.
I think the fact that, like, mothers today are asked to spend more time with their kids than stay-at-home moms did in the 1960s is crazy.
Look, I mean, the other day... Isn't that... That's a huge part of the problem.
It's a huge... Right, because combined with the fact that you don't have the structural support... Yes.
And then you're supposed to parent this way.
And listen, and you are shamed for it when you're not.
Like my son, I'm at parent-teacher conference the other day, you know, the teacher was like, so Sai told me that you don't open up his backpack to look at his, you know, so I'm going to let you know that this is going on.
And I was like, true.
Sure.
My nanny signed the last few weeks of the homework.
