      Cool study. But actually use your platform, @McKinsey. Tell your blue-chip clients you will no longer work with companies that actively lobby against the family policies that make it easier for women -- and men -- to be workers and family people.https://twitter.com/EntMagazineME/status/1036216417006153730 …

      A recent survey by @LeanInOrg and @McKinsey revealed that 43% of educated women exit their jobs at some point to tend their homes, and of these, up to 90% would eventually want to resume working, but only 40% return full time: http://entm.ag/sfo  @mumsatworkme

      What's tricky is writing report after report about empowering women while refusing to speak truth to power to your clients, many of whom are themselves or through associations that lobby on their behalf on the wrong side of this.

          The woman in the photo isn't at risk of dropping out because she loves wearing that pink carrier so much. She's at risk of dropping out because our policies make it hard for parents to be parents and workers. You have leverage to get companies to stop defending those policies.

          A core argument of @winnerstakeall is that, when the winners take on social problems, they always ask what they can do. They never ask what they're already doing, and how to be better. First, examine your own complicity. Then go from there.

          Note how the @USChamber here opposed an executive order granting seven days of paid leave a year to federal contractors, including leave to deal with domestic violence. https://www.uschamber.com/sites/default/files/documents/files/2017_labor_policy_recommendations.pdf … It's nice to talk about empowering women. What if you did something?

          But the @USChamber does have a foundation! https://www.uschamberfoundation.org  This is what must end. Big business opposes paid leave for women dealing with domestic abuse. Meanwhile, it gives back through a foundation and its advisers write reports about the importance of empowering women.
