To break the stalemate in which the achievements of women are bogged down, we need to focus on men: changing the way we raise them as mothers and the way in which we treat them as companions. It's the new provocation by Anne-Marie Slaughter, who in summer 2012 had surprised the feminists and ignited a lively debate with the essay Why women still can not have everything (published in The Atlantic).
The challenge then was based on his own experience. Slaughter was one of the women in positions of high level during the first four years of the Obama presidency, working with Hillary Clinton at the Ministry of Foreign off broadway shoes Affairs. But after two years, in 2011 he left the prestigious job to devote himself to his family and in particular to the two teenage sons who "needed her at home."
Now he is president of the New America Foundation, a think tank with offices in Washington off broadway shoes and New York, as well as being Professor Emeritus of Public and International Affairs at Princeton. It spreads its ideas about women & work in all areas possible. He wrote the post Behind every great woman is a great man on the blog of the World Economic Forum held in Davos in these days.
Last week in New York he delivered the keynote speech at the Festival off broadway shoes of Women Entrepreneurs (WEF), off broadway shoes organized by Nancy Hechinger, the Director of the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University, and Joanne Wilson, a blogger and investor in startups founded mainly by women.
"The achievements of feminism are at a stalemate - said Slaughter -. In terms of advancement in professional off broadway shoes careers, wages and chances of finding a balance between off broadway shoes work and family are in the same situation we were in at the beginning of the nineties. To break the deadlock we need to focus not on us women, but on men. Here is how. " Slaughter sued Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, according to which the two great forces that motivate every human being is the concern for the welfare of others (caring) and 'interest in their well-being (self-interest). The question is how is the 'balance between off broadway shoes these two forces, both in our careers and in our personal lives. "And off broadway shoes it is also a common problem for men - said Slaughter off broadway shoes -: they should also be able to choose when and how to take care of others (caring) are children, partners, parents or others, and how and when to be competitive on the job. "
"But we women still raise our sons according to the old standards of masculinity - said Slaughter off broadway shoes -. We must change. In the fifties it was thought that women were not made for the competition. Today we still believe that men are capable of caring for their loved ones and household chores. Let us women to imagine this scenario: You are on a business trip and our husband calls every five minutes to know what we are doing, if the meeting is going well, if we are able to conclude the deal and so on. How would we feel? Let us then in the shoes of our husbands when we leave them at home to look after children or other household tasks, and we call them a hundred times a day to give instructions and to know if everything is OK! "
"In other words - he concluded Slaughter -, we have to let the men do in their own way, do not try to handle them in every detail off broadway shoes because we do not trust them. We have to believe in them. Only in this way can we expect to reconcile and work according to the principle that the personal life comes first, but the work is not in second place in our priorities: they can be together off broadway shoes at the top.

More experience? I frankly all these thirty-packed with experience in housework do not see them. Like the men in the "men's jobs" are generally more scarce previous generations, so women, on average, than those of the past do not have expertise in housework. The point is that often in the life of the couple decide to take on the traditional role of woman-to-house and claim to do the generals when they barely got the title of commissioned officers. Not to mention for the care of children, which inevitably are "learned" as their mates (as long as we do not want to resort to the usual theories, off broadway shoes sexist, maternal instinct or just-a-mom-knows-how- do). With a few basic rules - as in any field, for that matter - household off broadway shoes chores have flexible solutions and personal: put a housewife to discuss some time on how to be ironed shirts and, at the same apparent results, you will find a myriad of different solutions, overdrawn in magic (start sempr
