If you want to fight the good fight for feminism, this is probably not the best way to do it. The overwhelming majority of people who read these articles live in families, have relationships, raise children, and work for a living. Even for the minority 25-30% of Americans with college degrees, finding the right job and balancing it within the context of your family life requires a lot of consideration, hard work, sacrifice, and compromise. Why oversimplify it as a black and white issue of discrimination? People know better.
Most men and women I know place a higher value on flexibility than on chasing the highest paycheck. We want the time and freedom to live our lives. No job is worth the hassle of losing out on your life goals (notice I didn't say career goals).
The myth of the man who is driven by his career is a misunderstanding of what is actually motivating that man. Is it his career? No. He could care less. He is making a compromise: less time and flexibility now for more time and flexibility later. He's putting it away for a rainy day: retirement and grandchildren. Give that guy a big bonus, or a healthy stock split today and he's out of there faster than you can say "seven figures in the bank".
Feminists who want to fight for a woman's right to a career seem to think that a career is supposed to be an end in itself. That's just foolish, and stinks of self-justification for whatever east coast elite education their parents paid for.
It must be the Marx I read in college. I just tend to reject careerism in both men and women as false consciousness. And if someone, man or woman, has the option to opt-out of some ridiculous job to have the opportunity to spend time with their kids, time in the garden, or time in the garage, why wouldn't they?
