Although I dont agree with all of these points, Im increasingly aware of the crappiness that is youd be happier if you just became happier argument. Kay and Shipman ultimately imply that the key to gender equality is womens self-confidence, putting the burden on women to personally fix an institutional problem. The authors allocate a small paragraph to children and the lack of flexibility in the workplace when in fact thats what drives most of the wage gap. Trying to solve gender inequality in the workplace by telling women to be more confident is like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. It may give the passengers something to do, but it definitely wont stop the ship from sinking.
