You remember the New York Times article
00:00:01
a while back that was like, are women
00:00:03
ruining the workplace? And that's why I
00:00:05
think it's so important that we reframe
00:00:08
because so much of the discourse has
00:00:09
treated women's work as though it's some
00:00:12
kind of like optional hobby. Like, you
00:00:14
know, women are doing it for feminism.
00:00:16
They're doing it because, you know, they
00:00:17
they want to for their own
00:00:19
self-fulfillment. But
00:00:21
millions of women are supporting
00:00:23
American families. They're not working
00:00:25
for fun. They're working to put food on
00:00:28
the table. They're working to keep the
00:00:29
lights on. And that's what gets lost
00:00:32
when we talk about this dynamic as
00:00:34
though it's optional. It's not optional.
00:00:36
It's something that is so essential that
00:00:39
we make possible and that we figure out
00:00:40
how to bring those costs down so that
00:00:43
families can continue to thrive.
