The lede of the story also makes me wonder how they're defining "pushed out" -- are women being pushed out because they're told they have to leave, or because they're opting out after not getting the flexibility they want -- and are those the same things?

Women
can't
have
it
all.
Just
as
fathers
can't
have
it
all.
You
do
need
to
choose.
Women
just
seem
to
be
making
the
choice,
and
fathers
continue
on
the
traditional
path.
I
think
flexibility
in
the
work
place
is
more
the
answer.
Question:
If
someone
without
kids
asked
for
the
same
flexibility,
would
they
get
it?
I
haven't
seen
it.
My
concern
is
that
having
kids
is
being
treated
like
having
a
disability.
If
we
are
going
to
change
the
work
place,
we
need
to
allow
flexibility
for
all,
not
just
mothers.
