At the same time, the world still isn’t very welcoming or respectful toward full-time at-home dads. - Sheryl Sandberg

The more satisfied a person is with her position, the less likely she is to leave.3 So the irony — and, to me, the tragedy — is that women wind up leaving the workforce precisely because of things they did to stay in the workforce. With the best of intentions, they end up in a job that is less fulfilling and less engaging. When they finally have a child, the choice — for those who have one — is between becoming a stay-at-home mother or returning to a less-than-appealing professional situation.

Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.

The data show that success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. Which means that as women get more successful, they are liked less—both by men and by other women. That’s because we want people to conform to our stereotypes.
