Or that academia is less mysgonistic and more compatible with a woman's life trajectory than industry. No need to project your insecurities onto others.

- PaulHoule 13y agoIt's probably more the other way around. A woman who wants to take two years off (about the time it takes to do a master's degree) to take care of their kids at home might need to jump off the corporate ladder a bit but they can hop back on. A key principle of academic life is "you never get a second chance" and this just isn't an option. I don't know how the woman involves feels about the matter, but I know of a male professor who put off having kids until his wife was infertile and he regrets that very much.
