But here you go: Ross Douthat’s take on…

Why French Women Don’t Get Promoted – NYTimes.com.

I feel like high-fivin’ him for this:

“there’s an obvious alternative: The kind of pro-family tax reform that I’m constantly and no doubt tediously championing in this space, which would ease the burdens on parents while remaining agnostic about how they should choose to organize their lives — by having one parent stay at home full time, by juggling part-time work, by paying for day care and working full time, whatever. The only significant distortion this system would create would be a pro-child distortion, and that’s one I think our society can live with.”

Enjoy.
