> Do you expect male CEOs to mention they pay someone to do their laundry and are abdicating their "domestic responsibilities"?

Um, yes, if they're bragging about how much time they spend working? It indicates that their ability to put in that much time comes from a position of privilege (i.e., having the money to pay other people to perform tasks most people would have to take care of themselves), and hence isn't a reasonable expectation to project onto people not in that same position.

I would be far more willing to believe this if it happened in a discussion of Elon Musk or Jack Dorsey.

But I do not remember this point ever being made in discussions of those workaholics. Until a woman came along.

Also: the same user calls Mayer (and Holmes) „attention whores“ downthread. I rest my case.
