Even when they\u2019re \u201coff the clock,\u201d trying to relax with their families, highly paid professionals often attend to work.<\/p>\n<p>Still, men and women tend to cope with demands for their time differently, and it boils down to men working as much as possible, while women try to negotiate their careers to accommodate rearing their children. Sociologist <a href=\"http:\/\/sociology.ucsd.edu\/faculty\/bio\/blairloy.shtml\">Mary Blair-Loy<\/a> from the University of California, San Diego told the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/05\/31\/upshot\/the-24-7-work-cultures-toll-on-families-and-gender-equality.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;_r=1&amp;abt=0002&amp;abg=0\"><em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> that these differences come from broader, gendered cultural expectations: \u201cIt\u2019s not really about business; it\u2019s about fundamental identity and masculinity,\u201d Ms. Blair-Loy said. \u201cMen are required by the culture to be these superheroes, to fulfill this devotion and single-minded commitment to work.\u201d For women, carpool, soccer games, and dance recitals are seen as more acceptable reasons for leaving work, \u201cbecause they have an external definition of morality or leading the good life, which is being devoted to their children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, being a \u201cgood mom\u201d isn\u2019t a \u201cfree pass,\u201d and it certainly isn\u2019t a route to career advancement. Coworkers often interpret <em>only<\/em> working 9-to-5 to mean that a woman is not fully invested in her career. And when the moms put their careers \u201cbefore their kids\u201d&#8212;say, taking calls during a T-ball game or staying at the office until 9pm&#8212;they\u2019re likely to <em>lose<\/em> the respect of their colleagues, judged for bucking others\u2019 ideas of what a nurturing mom really looks like. In careers and elsewhere, cultural tropes, from boardroom bosses to soccer moms, have real consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Men and women who are lawyers, consultants, or hold other prestigious jobs find themselves answering late night emails and weekend phone calls.
