Episode notes

I think women are screaming instead of marching. And it's feeling like, yeh, there is nothing you can do. I am obsessed with work place organizing. I think women want to have control over life immediately. If i'm a mam and i want flexibility, or i want predictability, or i wants some support on my chalker, if i can fight for that or get that, i'm suddenly having control over my life. It would be healthier if women really were marching,. because it would mean you felt like you had agency to actually have impact. Yet i think we want control. You don't wats going to feel healthier.

“It’s not about fixing women. It’s about fixing the system,” says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code and Marshall Plan for Moms. As the author of the new book Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work, Reshma calls out corporate feminism and society’s assumption that women have to solve the problems of workplace achievement on their own. She argues that childcare is an economic issue that should be subsidized by employers, and that the discourse around the “future of work” needs to move beyond employees’ return to the workplace. Reshma also takes Silicon Valley to task for not diversifying their tech force.
