Culture and children remain biggest barriers to women in tech ↵

Chris O’Brien, one-time stay-at-home dad, is reminded that it’s so often that mothers are the ones who have to plan their lives around children.

...the overwhelming force of our culture (women are expected to raise the kids), economy (disparity in pay) and policies (California remains one of the few states that provides paid paternity and maternity leaves) place the role of child raising on women. 

But achieving the equity in the office that we claim to want is going to require much more radical changes in our culture, economy and policies than we have been willing to contemplate.
