Why woman-led organizations aren’t always woman-friendly

Why woman-led organizations aren’t always woman-friendly
Excerpt: The employees at those groups, like Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights, should be in a golden age of work-life balance, being mentored by the women in higher-up positions, in an environment free of the toxicity often blamed on men. Yet, the feminist utopia eludes them. In December, Natalie Kitroeff and Jessica Silver-Greenberg had an exposé in The New York Times about bad behavior at several of these women-centric organizations. “In interviews and legal documents, women at Planned Parenthood and other organizations with a feminist bent described discrimination that violated federal or state laws — managers considering pregnancy in hiring decisions, for example, or denying rest breaks recommended by a doctor.”
