Penny Rheingans, a professor in computer science and electrical engineering, talks with the BBC about the benefit that some tech companies are now offering women — paying for female employees to freeze eggs.
Rheingans tell the BBC, “my initial reaction is negative.”
She says that the companies are suggesting that, “their culture and work expectations might be incompatible with raising a family.”
Furthermore, she says, “they’re saying to women that they should wait to have those babies until the company is done with their technically productive years.”
