Situation 2.
Male on tenure track: "Can we schedule that meeting at 3, rather than 4? I want to leave by 4 to get to my kid's soccer game."
Academy authority: "SURE!" What a good parent!
There's certainly something to that, CS, though less and less so where I work, thankfully. I really think the issue right now for us is more that situation #1 might be a staff person where situation #2 is faculty.
