Lost and Found

My opinion is that your boss should not be lamenting the loss of "intellectual collaborations"--he should be working to stop them from happening if he's really going to miss them so much!

He knows why they'd happen. I have NO pity for his feelings of loss if he isn't out there working to stop it by mentoring young men around him to take care of home chores as much as women do.

"if he isn't out there working to stop it by mentoring young men around him to take care of home chores..."

This is beside the point...

If a woman is married to another busy professional they will each take care of 1/2 of the house work. Nearly all women who are married & in graduate school are married to another busy professional.

Conversely, almost zero women (but some men) are likely to have a partner who takes care of everything at home.

Additionally, fewer men than women are married in graduate school because men tend to marry ~3 years later than women.

Wanted to clarify, I mean here that fewer women have a "stay at home husband" than men have a "stay at home wife".

if you conversely twice, does something awful happen to the space-time continuum?
