How to Help Women and Men Have At Least Some of It All

First, read the Atlantic article, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All" and then come on back if you're super frustrated because it's nuts that women have fought for so long to achieve equality and yet we're still so far behind on having fulfilling careers and families at the same time. While the article's author has some clues and ideas about how we can begin to change the workplace to better suit a higher percentage of women in higher percentages of power, this ThinkProgress article cites four policies that would start to make that change:

1) Paid family and medical leave insurance
2) Paid sick days
3) Right to request workplace flexibility
4) Equal pay

The fact that these are not already in place in the States is absurd. I'm sure if you live in Europe and are reading this, you're like - seriously? We did all this twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the US is not so progressive in that way. Let's hope we can begin to make these changes soon.
