Thanks Zoe—It is a good point as I think men’s and women’s views could differ here quite a bit.
My general take on my partner (can’t prioritize asking right now, but it is a good prompt for another post in the series!) having discussed these things over time is she is way more satisfied with life in general than she was before kids. I think she’d endorse the productivity and leadership upgrades, but prob feels the sting of working fewer hours more.
It is worth noting the post is mostly about how this affects EAs, which she is not, so I might be a tighter reference class here, although I have met a lot of families and they do seem to have different takes by gender, so maybe she is the right reference class. I don’t know! If you have specific questions I’d be happy to answer offline.
