‘Get pregnant by 25 if you want a high powered career’

It’s ridiculous that it’s controversial to say that most women want to parent differently than most men. (…)

Here’s how many hours I worked at my startup when I had young kids: 80. And my investors thought I was part-time—which I was, compared to how many hours other startup founders work. (…)

So I loved Slaughter’s article. And I loved that women are coming forward to say that it is literally impossible to have a high-powered career while you have young kids, if you want to be involved in your kids’ lives. The best thing older women can do for younger women right now is to tell the truth.
