In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.

We've learned that women can and should do 'men's jobs,' for instance, and we've won the principle (if not the fact) of getting equal pay. But we haven't yet established the principle (much less the fact) that men can and should do 'women's jobs': that homemaking and child-rearing are as much a man's responsibility, too, and that those jobs in which women are concentrated outside the home would probably be better paid if more men became secretaries, file clerks, and nurses, too.

We have to imagine change before we can begin to move toward it.
