You didn't. > whether you expend equal energy on both causes is up to you. it may say something about what you really believe though The clear implication is that focusing on issues pertinent to group X (e.g. gay marriage, society's insane expectations of women), it means that you must care more about people in group X than people not in group X. Which makes no sense; if you have a buggy codebase, you focus on fixing the bugs, not dividing your time equally among all the mostly-already-functional bits.

>if you have a buggy codebase, you focus on fixing the bugs, not dividing your time equally among all the mostly-already-functional bits. In this case that's the point -- work/life balance is not a problem for "women" but a problem for "humans" -- so why concentrate on solving it for women or framing it as a "women's issue" if the same analysis and solutions go for men too?
