Rec. #441: #MeToo Has Debunked the "Lean In" Philosophy
What: In this article, Sarah Seltzer offers the mild silver-lining thought that, hey, maybe it's not up to women to just push more/speak up/ask for raises in order to solve workplace inequality.
Maybe workplace sexism is, in fact, a virulent systemic problem, and not an individual hurdle that each woman is responsible for bootstrapping her own way over through endless self-improvement.
Representative quote: "So no matter how much self-help women ingest, how many inspiring speakers we listen to at company events for women employees, how many circles of supportive colleagues we form, it won’t be enough."
How to get it: The article "#MeToo Has Debunked the 'Lean In' Philosophy" was published in The Nation on Dec. 19, 2017.
