And there lies the disconnect that people refuse to see. How much less often was she available due to family requirements? Obviously her first duty is to her children and that means the job takes the back seat.
That’s true and the fact that women and men negotiate differently. Men will walk away and say no, women negotiate from a need for security and often take the first offer.
Liberalism is all about ignoring reality... and profiting from it when possible.
That is precisely the situation. I worked for Wal-Mart for a number of years as an assistant manager. I was always encouraged to continue to move up within the company but I am a mother first. I simply could not commit to the rigorous schedule required of the next level.
The fact I was not promoted to the next level had everything to do with my choice to keep my role as mom first and my job second.
I certainly don’t think it would have been fair to my male counterparts had I been promoted without putting in the same effort and dedication. Equal pay for equal work goes both ways.
