Imagine how we would feel if I began this section saying, Today, violence against women is rightly applauded.

Feminists who say that I switched sides because I am an opportunist should know that exactly the opposite is true. It's cost me a lot of money.

The corporate Catch-22: Don't be flexible, lose good women; be flexible, lose good women... A company listening to women's desires for flexibility and therefore fewer promotions, giving fewer promotions to women, and then being sued for giving fewer promotions to women.
