A long time ago, I invented the phrase Malibu Barbiearianism. That deserves to be remembered, almost as much as does the fact that higher education is in too many ways even now too fucking sexist.
MAS. This anecdote from the past is absolutely true:
A woman I know quite well, ahem, was once told as a bit of well-intended advice that it would be a good idea not to be seen on campus so often with her children, as this might be held against her if she ever were to apply for a full time job in the department where she was adjuncting. The amazing bit about this advice was that her husband was at the time a full-time professor at that very college -- and since this couple's kids went to daycare on campus, and he was the one who ended up taking them to and from that daycare, he could be seen almost daily dragging some red-cheeked squalling brat around with him. And you know what? He was routinely praised for his obvious joy at being a family man and a good Daddy and so good with his adorable little progeny.
Go figure...
Good times.
