Real Empathy Is Sometimes Not

I Gave A Talk On Gender Stuff At Facebook One Morning And A Man Didn't Come. It Was Optional; He Didn't Have To Come. But He Sent A Note Saying, "i Missed Your Meeting Because I Drove My Kids To School So My Wife Could Do Something Else. Thank You For Making That Possible." I Think That Employee Is A Loyal Employee For Facebook And I Think More Companies Should Want That Kind Of Loyalty.

We're The Only Developed Country In The World That Doesn't Have Paid Maternity Leave. Paternity Leave Is Just As Important. Paid Family Medical Leave So That You Can Take Care Of A Parent, A Child, A Grandparent, Whatever You Need To Do. I Think We're Shortsighted When We Don't Invest In Our Employees As Companies, And As An Economy, Because We Invest In Them And They Invest Back In Us.

I Don't Pretend There Aren't Biological Differences, But I Don't Believe The Desire For Leadership Is Hardwired Biology, Not The Desire To Win Or Excel. I Believe That It's Socialization, That We're Socializing Our Daughters To Nurture And Our Boys To Lead.

I Wish I Were Strong Enough To Ignore What Others Say, But Experience Tells Me I Often Can't. Allowing Myself To Feel Upset, Even Really Upset, And Then Move On - That's Something I Can Do.

As A Man Gets More Successful, Powerful, He Is More Liked, And As A Woman Gets More Successful, She Is Less Liked, And That's True By Both Women And Men.
