“When ... someone needs to sacrifice at work, it’s much more likely to be the mother .... Research suggests ... it’s not because men’s jobs are inherently less flexible or more important—but that they treat them as though they are.” Insight from @clairecm https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/upshot/schools-closing-mothers-leaving-jobs.html
