Episode notes

I'm still surprised how this is not on the front page of time magazine. I think part of it is that offices aren't open, so you don't see the amount of women missing. 51 % of working women say they're anxious and depressed. The c d c released a report saying that the two sub groups that are suffering the most pendemic are 19 to 24 year olds. And moms, bob, moms don't break. But we're broken. So i think that reckoning is coming. What's going to be really annoying is, i feel like ming to be syntomati, i told you so. It just didn't create its own momentum.

“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.
