A woman shared that when she returned to work after several years at home with her children, she was asked by both male and female coworkers, "How do you manage everything?" and she said she was very offended by that.
People wouldn't question her husband's ability to handle everything, even though they're equal partners in parenthood. There's this ingrained mindset that women are the ones doing 100% of the parenting while men are 100% focused on work, but that's not the case.
