Managing dueling dual careers is more than just figuring out who is going to take the kids to school or put out the trash, it is a whole mentality. A mentality that has to fly in the face of traditional societal expectations, gender roles and definitions of marriage. With successful dual career couples, the need for a more egalitarian set of values and attitudes is required. Values and attitudes that redefine what it means to be a woman with a career and a man with a career and still have the family life, the social life and the professional life that will serve each of the partners.

TOMORROW:

At least once tomorrow, when you're doing a task around your home I want you to question societal expectation of your role based on gender. Whatever it is, just stop for one minute to ask yourself, "how does my being a woman", or "how does my being a man affect how I think about this?" Imagine your opposite sex partner was doing this instead. Does your view of the task - or yourself - change?
