Kay Hymowitz Do Women Really Want Equality? was published in Time magazine September 04, 2013.

In this article Kay aims to convince and inform the readers that women may not want equality by numbers. They may be searching for different variation of equalityWomen who become doctors approach their work differently than men. They spend more time with each patient; when choosing jobs, they are far more likely to cite time for family and flexible hours as very important and to prefer limited management responsibilities. Male doctors, on the other hand, are more likely to think about career advancement and income potential. Kay beings the article stating statistics from the Journal for the American medical Association stating that male doctors earn over 25% more than female doctorsWhy am I not surprised? There is a constant stream of stories showing gender disparities like this: that Obama gave only 35% of Cabinet-level posts to women, that men still write 87% of Wikipedia entries, that they are approximately 80% of local news-television and radio managers, and over 75% of philosophers. Kay states that from another perspective the answer is anything but clear. .. In fact, theres good reason to think that women dont want the sort of equality envisioned by government bureaucrats, academics and many feminist advocates, one imagined strictly by the numbers with the goal of a 50-50 breakdown of men and women in C-suites, law-school dean offices, editorial boards and computer-science departments; equal earnings, equal work hours, equal assets, equal time changing diapers and doing the laundry. After Kay captures the readers interests with facts and the statistics of recent studies. Kay talks about the reasons for particular wage gap that are gender-blind. Kay says.. Surgeons need more years of training, perform riskier work (at least thats how malpractice insurers see it) and put in more unpredictable hours. Unsurprisingly, according to surveys, women who become doctors approach their work differently than men. They spend more time with each patient; when choosing jobs, they are far more likely to cite time for family and flexible hours as very important and to prefer limited management responsibilities. Male doctors, on the other hand, are more likely to think about career advancement and income potential. In point the article then notifies readers of studies that the OECD that women would prefer to work less hours ... Equality-by-numbers advocates should be thinking about womens progress in terms of what women show that they want, not what the spreadsheets say they should want. Overall Kay points out that if we use a state sheet with, numbers and percentages women are not equal to men in many aspects of the world. Although this may not be what women want they instead are not looking to be equal in the statistics but have the equal opportunities to make as much or be as much as men. Women are looking to have the chance not always to take the chance. Point in case this is not for all women, some women may have the same drive for money and advancement.
