Wow i one a Organization Called new america and when i look out at all of you, i see the faces of the new america. I want to talk about care and men and public policy. Ip to start with care and i want to talk about something that i could not have talked about 4 years ago when i wrote my atlantic article. There are two sides to all of us. There is a caring side and a competitive side and each has a different disbution. I have a aunt on the competitive side. When my children were little like under 5 she would compete with them in backyard games. Supurb athlete. Some are on the e nurtureing sides. Most have both sides and the human race itself has both those sides. We would not have advanced without that drive, that ability to set goals and to achieve them. Through a engine of progress, but we equally would not have survived if we didnt care for each other. We wouldnt have gotten past the first sabertooth tiger if we were not social animals. Indeed, our brains are hardwired for human connection. It is what distinguishes us, the capacity for care is absolutely and in some ways even more the essence of our humanity than the competitive instickt and as we move into the world this part the world is inventing and automate more z more we will be able to automate a lot of things thatd come from the head but not so much from the heart. I want to start with the proposition care is every bit as important as competition. They are two sides of all of us and helthsy human beings and helty societies value both. Lets talk about what that means. If we are talking about professional women, the women that i wrote my atlantic article for. I was writing for the atlantic which is not a mass market pub liication, it is fine, but chs writing for women like myself, women who think about work as a career. We who have the luxury of calling it a career and can imagine growth and dwomet quh we think otwork. For that group of women to say that care is as important as career is to say of course we should support all women in reaching for the stars, being as competitive they can be but it also says when we take time out when we need to or down shifti left a high state Department Job for a tinniered professioner. It was not working believe me, but it was a lateral move and said it i need more time for my children and me. It was the last 4 years they would be home and know if i looked back and missed that i would feel i made the wrong choice. Others caring for parents, caring for spousing, caring for disabled or ill family members however you define care and family as a collection oof people you love whether it is biological or constructed, taking the time and movaling latry and defering a profession and working part time or taking time out completely if ayou can afford it, for professional women and men valuing care means not seeing that as the black mark on the resume. The conttrary is something that validated character, responsibility and a host of other skills and values that we should lift up. So, for that group[applause]so that is what care means, valuing care for professional women and we have a long way to go in terms of changing our workplaces and values to get there. But now lets talk about a much larger group of women because we have too few women at the top and so much days like day is aimed getting more women to the top, which im all for in Political Office and private and non profit sector, there are too few of those women at the top but there are far too many women at the bottom. We just heard 2 3 of minimum and part time workers and tipped workers, the workers in the most fragile part of our society and most fragile jobs and least well paid job, 2 3 of those workers are women. We have too few women at the top but way too many at the bottom and too often when we focus on advancing women we look at the women at the top. The thing we hear is how many women are in the fortune 500. Way too few. 29 or 28 and ought to be 228 or 300. So, too few women at the top but way too many at the bottom and a focus on care helps us see all women because when we focus on care, we realize those women at the bottom as you jurs heard areench wellming single mothers or women who are simultaneously having to bread winner and care giver and we are supporting their bread winning and expecting them to work but we all not supporting their care givering. When you focus on care and start thinking about the policies of care and not just the policies of advancing women to the top, what you do as ill talk about in a few minutes is focus on all the policies that actually help women at the bottom much more than women add the top. Women at the top are able to buy their way out of care problems, but women at the bottom are not. Focusing on care lets us see all women and construct a Political Movement of all women and focus particularly on poor and minority and immigrant women. You will hear from aijen poo who are not subject to basic hour and wage protections. You will hear how lifting up the care givers who now are paid no more than the people we pay to walk our dogs or mix or drinksthink about that. We pay people who park cars, mix the drinks walk dogathize same as people who care for children and parents and ill and disibleed. If we focus on those women and focus on care, we get to a set of policies that will lift all women. The last thing i want to say about valuing care and again, i didnt think this way 4 years ago, i spent 3 years working through and deprogramming myself because i was raised to want to be like my dad, not my mom. That is what it meant to be a strong powerful woman when i was growing up, it was to do the work my dad did not the work my mom did. I was grateful i was born when i was born and not my mirther or grand mothers. That is the great progress we have made over my life time that women with do the work our fathers did but center to elevate the work our mothers did and value it just as much. [applause] the third piece of this, women in professional careers, women who are working at low paid jobs, but the third piece is the caring professions. When someone says to you now,if someone says im taking time out to care for my children or painchts you fall off the social scale in our society. Women are right one day they are a journalist or banker or lawyer and the nesh day caring for children or parents or anyone else and feel they are a nobody. What about when someone says im a teacher, im a coach or rabbi or minister or therapist from massage to mental therapy, any therapist is a caring profession. Or someone who says, im doing any kind of health work. Those are the caring professions and those professions are paid less well and valued much less than the competitive professions. So, we just heard mayor schaaf say this is a action summit. He is the first thing i will give you that you all can actively do at the end of today. I prefer not asking people what do they do because what we mean when we say that is what you do for money and that says if you are doing work that is not paid you are not valued. If someone says im caring for anyone or someone says, im a teacher, im a nurse, im a coach, im a therapist or minister, any of the caring professions, look at that person and say, that is such important work and train yourself to mean it. Thats the first point. We need to value care, we need to value it socially, economically and politically. That does not mean that we dont still value competition and the incredible striving that defines this region in many ways, but it means we insist that both are equal. The second thing we have to do is change the way we see and treat men. Because if i just talk about valuing care as much as i believe it and passionate i am about it, if i only talk about the value of care and the importance of respecting it and paying for it, that risks sending women backwards and that is one reason that many women were very upset with my original atlantic article because they thought it imperiled the work the women of my generation have done and more important 10 years from me. I graduated from college 1980 and plenty of sexism and didnt know women doctors lawyers or banker and never seen a woman in those positions but it is the women that graduated in 1970 who broke the barriers such for me it wasnt easy but it was acceptable by the time i was looking for a job around 1990. Women people were looking for women. Those women worried if we focus on care and the family well drag women backward and the only way to val ue care and competition equally without harming women, is to expect men to be equal care givers and assume they will be equally good at it. [applause] thiswe are just at the beginning of the rev lushz. You will hear from joshua love later. There are men among you, the men and there are a small Group Standing up and saying, wait a minute, i am a prisoner of constructed gender hello.
