Women tend to find themselves funneled into specific career paths that prioritize flexible hours and often pay less. Men face an opposite pressure - toward inflexible hours but higher pay. This is in large part because care for family members(children and elderly parents usually) is more often foisted upon women in our society than on men.

I see no evidence to support this "funnel" at all in my life/work experience.
Workers on "flex" schedules in the tech sector underperform by a wide margin. I see little or no reason why I should prop up someone else's life / work choices with my own labor.
I believe you were down voted because you disagreed with the generally believed idea of "the funnel for women" and the generally believed idea of "flex schedules increase productivity" without providing any evidence.
I would point out that most people supporting both those ideas in this thread don't seem to be providing evidence either.
Everybody, I'm pretty sure the down vote is used to bury threads that don't add to the discussion. I think "shawn-butter"'s side deserves to be discussed.
