Women "becoming" men in the workplace

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:SOCI370/Sassen

I agree with Beverly that the approach is problematic as it perpetuates gender roles, but I also think that it encourages the notion that women who choose to focus their efforts on climbing up the career ladder are viewed as more successful and held in a higher regard than women who choose to be homemakers. Feminism today has a strong emphasis on women being strong, independent figures, often neglecting and excluding those that choose to conform to traditionally feminine roles such as staying home and taking care of children.
