This was always stupid
Thank God someone bothered to take a survey in order to challenge that ludicrous NYT article on Yale women who are delaying a career to have children asap.
Victoria Brescoll, now a postdoctoral research fellow at Yale’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, who conducted the survey in the 2005-6 academic year as a graduate student in social psychology, said the survey results suggest that men and women equally value career and family, contradicting the implication of Louise Story’s September 2005 article, “Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood.”
“What does ‘many’ mean? Personally, I don’t think 4 percent equals many, ” Brescoll said.

The NYT has been doing too much of this kind of thing lately. Sad that it qualifies as "reporting," but it's always good when someone calls them on it.
