    Less spoken truth. Most careers still require someone play the role of "wife"—or a good deal of money & adjustment. https://hbr.org/2017/10/if-you-cant-find-a-spouse-who-supports-your-career-stay-single …pic.twitter.com/kJ15N5oM0j

        Women have moved, to a degree, to ambitious roles, but those often require a support system—what happens when both partners could use one? 😬

        What usually happens is that one person foregoes the ambitious role— and as the saying goes—it is often the one who happens to get pregnant.

        Right, for those with means, throwing money at the problem is a temporary reprieve. Those without money strike out.https://twitter.com/ChicagoLeah/status/923618527256481792 …

        That's why in my most ambitious (and single) years, I had housekeeper, massage therapist, laundry service and personal trainer.

        So, often women fall into the traditional gender role, even with "enlightened" partner—because life is demanding that role—or stay single.

        "are made to require". It's not a natural law of reality - it's the consequences of capitalism.

        I'm pretty sure I don't qualify as super-supportive and my wife is doing plenty well enough careerwise.

        I think academics suffers from the delusion that academia is so brilliant so you can only succeed there if you have no private life. #cynic

        Or maybe they're right. But if that's true, why bother? There's more important stuff than work, even if your work is science.
