She's been getting a lot of brown warm fuzzies, but at least one woman exec with kids said it rang hollow for her too:

"I downplay being a mom at work every day because I'm a fairly private person but also because women (and men) like Katharine Zaleski have created an atmosphere where parenthood could literally keep me from getting my next job.

More effective but less splashy would have been personally apologizing to all the women she discriminated against and helping place them in great positions. But Zaleski's got a company she wants to promote. So an apology is now a convenient press play.

Not that she seems to care about public perception. She was admittedly "horrible" as a 28-year-old and bent on sabotaging other women, now she says she pities young women and has designated herself supermom and job fairy to working mothers. So the world still revolves around Zaleski's perception of right and wrong, she's just swapped targets."
