Recline, Don’t ‘Lean In’ (Why I Hate Sheryl Sandberg)

I kind got lost about half way through. Should a company promote a women with kids that leaves on time over a single person that stays until 9? I say live the life you want but you will have to focus and make choices. And that will come with consequences and things that could have went another way. That's life.
Agreed. My other issue is that people (this author included) tend to misread Sheryl Sandberg's message as prescriptive; I read "Lean In" as a set of interesting insights and observations from a woman who has succeeded in spite of challenging gender dynamics, but who makes clear that her path need not be the norm for everyone. (In fact, it cannot be the norm for everyone owing to several privileged circumstances in her life.) I know that the bombastic pitch of this article is intentional and possibly necessary in order to generate attention, but it was a major turn off for me.
