She The People

Recline, don’t ‘Lean In’ (Why I hate Sheryl Sandberg)
By Rosa Brooks February 25

"...Back in the day, Henry Ford didn’t advocate the eight-hour day for his auto assembly line workers because he was a nice guy. He advocated the eight-hour day because research demonstrated that worker productivity cratered after more than eight hours. As Brigid Schulte documents in her forthcoming book, “Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play When No One Has the Time,” humans can only take so much for so long. When a workplace is full of employees who always lean in and never lean back, it’s full of employees who are exhausted, brittle and incapable of showing much creativity or making good decisions.

Sometimes, overwork gets downright dangerous. We have tough legislation mandating adequate rest periods for truck drivers and airline pilots — not because we think they need their beauty sleep, but because when overtired drivers and pilots make mistakes, people can die. When did we come to believe that crucial national security decisions are best made by people too tired to think straight?" ...

In 1929, Virginia Woolf issued a cri de coeur: How can women become poets and writers, she asked in her now-classic essay, “A Room of One’s Own,” when they have no money, no independence, no privacy and no space? “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction,” declared Woolf.

Other forms of creativity are no different. If we want to do more than just go through the motions, both love and work require a protected space in which creativity can flourish.

Today, most women can make money on their own and acquire rooms of their own — but they still get too little psychic space and too little time for the kind of unstructured, creative thinking so critical to any kind of success.

Perhaps the modern equivalent of Woolf’s “room of her own” is the right to stop “leaning in” all the time. There is, after all, much to be said for leaning out — for long lunches, afternoon naps, good books and some nice, slow hours in the La-Z-Boy.

Sandberg can keep right on leaning in if it makes her happy, but here’s my new feminist manifesto — call it a Manifestus for the Rest of Us.

We need to fight for our right to lean out, and we need to do it together, girls. If we’re going to fight the culture of workplace ubiquity, and the parallel and equally-pernicious culture of intensive parenting, we need to do it together — and we need to bring our husbands and boyfriends and male colleagues along, too. They need to lean out in solidarity, for their own sake as well as ours.

Women of the world, recline! "...r.b.

gender politics, identity politics.
divide and conquer.
here is a tip for s.s., the women's bathroom
is always right next to the men's bathroom,
it is an economy of plumbing thing, except in
those countries that do not bother differentiating
by gender when it comes to leaving a dump and
like that.

Still can't get over her talking about using her FF miles so she could bring her family on a business trip to Asia, what a sick cunt...

[Bemused Observer]

Brought the whole fam to Asia on the FF miles, huh? That's a lot of flying. I couldn't get a shuttle from the parking lot to the terminal on mine.

in the glorious New World Order, woman's highest and best use is as corporate drones.  Children will be raised by the State.  Sex is no longer necessary as the State handles aftificial insemination. 

you will be assimilated.

[optimator]

In some areas the State feeds the kids breakfast, takes them to school where they feed them lunch, feed them supper and take them home.  they feed them on Saturday to make sure they get a healthy meal.  Someone has to look out for them.  That said, why do they give their mom anything!

"That said, why do they give their mom anything!"
