0:00.0	Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Christina Duranty. She's a professor
0:06.0	of marketing at Rutgers Business School and a social psychologist who studies the biology
0:10.6	of decision making and evolution of female psychology. For the first time in history,
0:15.7	many women have the opportunity to pursue a career as their primary life path.
0:19.6	But does this prohibit them from also having a family? Do women actually want to be mothers
0:24.7	or is it their only option? Do women actually want careers? Or is it just a shiny new opportunity

1:39.8	this episode is brought to you by my protein. They are the number one sports supplement company
1:45.8	on the planet, literally the biggest in the world. I'm flying orange and mango clearway in a suitcase
1:53.2	back over from the UK to America. That is how addicted to that stuff I am. If you need a new protein,
