Washington Post - Why Pay Equality and Work-Life Balance Aren't Just Women's Issues

In SWE, we frequently talk about work-life balance, but what we have to keep in mind is that it affects men as well as women.  As this article discusses, if no one, regardless of gender, is requesting flex-time, part-time, telecommuting, etc, then it won't be accepted by the workplace at large.

  1. Nice article. It depends on the age level of men. During the initial stages after marriage, men do not understand how important is to share the household work. So may be unwilling to ask for flexible hours. But later, eventually they understand and participate more without much concerns.
