Facebook head Sheryl Sandberg has an idea about how working women can improve their work/life balance: Marry another woman. “The most important thing — and I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ll say it a hundred times — if you marry a man, marry the right one,” Sandberg says in an interview with Makers. “If you can marry a woman, that’s better, because the split between two women in the home is actually pretty even, the data shows. But find someone to marry who’s going to to do half. Not just support your career by saying things: ‘Oh, of course you should work!’ But actually get up and change half the diapers.”

Someone has stated that the SSPX "Pastor's Corner" in a local bulleting has cut and pasted from this review of this book by the Jєωess, he says he will upload a scan of it tomorrow:

This is very typical of the new propaganda technique of the NeoSSPX.  Gentle criticism of anti-Christians in the manner of an NO apologist, which shifts the context of discussion to the left, giving legitimacy to the ideas of the anti-Christian while pretending to be firmly against those values.

Sheryl Sandberg’s recent book, Lean In, has raised the discussion once again concerning women’s ability to rise in the work place and still have time to be mothers. The solution to the gender gap in the work place lies with women, Sandberg writes. “We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.”

Sandberg has been the CEO of Facebook since 2008 and is the mother of two young children. She has enjoyed a meteoric rise since her graduation from Harvard summa cuм laude and from the Harvard Business School with a M.B.A with highest distinction. After that she was the chief of staff to the U.S. Treasury Secretary, a vice president at Google, and then was recruited to her present position with Facebook. She also has a long list of honors including being named one of the 50 “Most Powerful Women in Business” by Fortune Magazine since 2007; ranked 21st in 2008 Wall Street Journal’s 50 “Women to Watch;” named one of the “25 Most Influential People on the Web” by Business Week in 2009 and many more. Clearly she is smart and ambitious.

But when one reads her impressive biography carefully one sees this. “Her father is an ophthalmologist, and her mother has a PhD and worked as a French teacher before concentrating on raising her children.” That very telling line might be the answer to the question debated since the release of her book. Her mother had a break in her career to raise her children. Quite probably that great support and attention is what helped Sandberg to be successful and achieve at such a high level.

Possibly one reason women do not move ahead as fast as men in the workplace is that they choose their family over work. Even though Sandberg claims to be home for dinner every night by 6:00 pm, we know that moving forward in the work place many times requires the extra hours and at times the first commitment to work. Those who are not willing to put work first may be passed over in the rush to the top.

A woman has been given the task and opportunity of carrying her child in the womb, of nursing the child at the breast and the empathetic and nurturing nature to care for a child. Even in homes where fathers are very involved, babies and young children still prefer mommy. These very close bonding moments result in an all-encompassing love for that child which many times leads to the mother either deciding not to work and stay home with the baby or to choose shorter hours and less commitment to work so that she can give more commitment to the child.

As a retired educator, I know that children who have not had the time and commitment of their parents, present problems in school. As one very wise and older teacher told me, parents will spend time with their children one way or another. They will either spend it when they are young and give them the attention and discipline they need, or they will spend it later in court, or juvenile detention centers or in raising their grandchildren.

And in the end when we look back after retirement, the highest level of job success does not compare with the highest level of child-rearing success. Our lives are always measured first by the people we love, not by the money we make or by the stature we reach. So my advice to Sandberg and all mothers is do a service to the world and “lean in” toward your child.

So apparently fathers are worthless.

How do these women expect to have babies to change half the diapers?  Daddy's got to be involved in the conception of said child, even if nothing else.

I disagree that little children prefer mom.  Many show a preference of one or the other and that can change.  (I'm female and I preferred my dad as a little girl.)  REGARDLESS, it's absolutely critical that children have their fathers- boys and girls.  Yep, I'm preaching to the choir, but what is this woman thinking???!!!!

The logical next step of course is for a woman to marry herself.
