The Times writes that the percentage of women entering the work force has stalled and maybe even reversed. Is the gender revolution at work finished?

Well, that’s a bit of an overstatement.

The gender revolution at work for childless women is still going strong. Women CEOs are bursting their way on to the Fortune 500 lists. For childless adults, the gap between men and women continues to shrink. There’s still lots of work to go on that front, and I’m cheering my sisters on.

Apres kids, it’s all a lot harder. I wouldn’t say that the gender revolution at work is finished. I just think it needs new focus. The two career model may be unworkable for the average family. The revolution needs to consider bringing in more men into the home front, increasing opportunities for part time labor, supporting families with adequate daycare, supporting all individuals caring for the sick or elderly. This revolution wouldn’t just benefit women; it would help out everyone.
