In the age of the "77 hour work week" is that a disadvantage to women who want to have a family and get ahead while doing the 25-35 hour work week and balancing play dates and soccer schedules? Is it fair to expect ANY candidate to work that many hours and be married to thier job to get ahead at the office? Many men knowingly accept the sacrifice of family for work and are fully expected to (even by thier families) but the fact that a married woman seeks to lose her family or a single woman will never have time for a family that takes many women out of the race. Is it fair that women get left out or is it a sacrifice that they will have to make to get the same rewards. To work the same 5am-8pm schedule many or her male co-workers on the fast track have to accept to be able to compete for the top promotions?

The female executive has the option of not having kids and still working the 77 hour work week. I agree with you that male executive do not have to take care of thier children but female executives without children do not have to do that either.
