(6,342 posts)When women get married and have kids, they tend to start taking more time off from work. Their schedules become more limited. Compared to men who do not change their schedule very much when they become fathers. That there is a huge difference that propagates through the working years of ones life.
That's why when Jane is 50 with 2 kids, and Joe is 50 with two kids.... Joe's way ahead in his career progression compared to Jane even though they both were the same at age 30.
You cannot even begin to fix that issue without fixing far larger social problems that are frankly not even being discussed by feminism. Feminism today is maxing out by eliminating the overt discrimination. The next part is going to be far more difficult. Because society as a whole, men and women, and even conservatives, have to completely think very differently when it comes to gender roles and stereotypes.
