Pffffft.
Now, can we convince ourselves that w e're not failures as women and/or human beings if we're realistic enough to realize that we can't "have it all"??
We have the freedom to make decisions. We have to be clear about the decisions that we want, and then be intentional in our behavior.
Can the choices we make be OK??
Can we be "complete women" if we decide that we want to be "WGTOW" and have an "awesome career" and random sex (or a celibate lifestyle) instead of a marriage and a family?? OK, I personally have a hard time wrapping my head around enjoying such a life, but-- that's me. I can wrap my head around the idea that people who are different from me might want different things than what I want.
Can we be "complete human beings" and/or "contributing members of society" if we choose to get married and invest our talents in raising kids instead?? Or are we bloodsucking breeders until we ALSO bring in a check that equals our husbands'??
I'm all for putting the torch to the schizophrenic idea that ANYONE can have "it all." Can we please also immolate this cultural injunction that says we SHOULD??
