Thanks for your reasonable comments on the topic. As a hard-working, caring female I was offended by the tone of this article. By the first paragraph she was making assumptions and generalisations, and I couldn't take the rest of the article seriously with her attempt to make the statistics fit. I'm familiar with Dutch culture fairly well and it has many complex reasons for it's social structures that I don't think should be glibly lacerated to fit a concept. I've always found the Netherlands a highly liberal, equal and exciting country to work in, whether you want to push yourself over long hours or go home at 5pm on the dot.
