We know when we use the full talents of our population we're more productive. And we know that when people really feel like they can have flexible lives, they're better employees.

But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.

Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can transform institutions.

It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
