Personally I thought there was quite a lot of rubbish in that article, but the pressure to corner at work and be present at home is probably true. However I think it's true for women as well as men.

That should be the pressure to achieve at work sorry.

Of course it's true for women. That's why I can't get my head around it. Funny, ironic or genuine

Because women have experienced this for a very long time and it usually gets dismissed. Because we are women. But a man writes it and then...oh, it must be real
