I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
Sheryl SandbergI want women to get paid more. I want to teach them to negotiate so they get paid more.
Sheryl SandbergI have never met a woman, or man, who stated emphatically, "Yes, I have it all.'" Because no matter what any of us hasโand how grateful we are for what we haveโno one has it all.
Sheryl SandbergGive us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I'm pretty sure that would be a better world.
Sheryl SandbergWhen looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.
