Women can't have it all yet? Well, men can't either.

I'd guess that about 90% of the problem when it comes to this whole "gender wars" thing is the automatic, unthinking assumption that no matter the situation, men automatically have it (whatever "it" is) better than women do, regardless of the actual facts.

How many times have you seen this conversation

Woman: I can't walk down the street at 3 in the morning without being afraid of being assaulted

Man: And you assume I can because....?

It's high time that women stop assuming they know what men's lives are like and start actually understanding what men's lives are like before they decide that women are being treated unfairly

Women: "Why can't we choose both?!?"

Men: "You at least have a choice."

Wow nice article, she finally sees the light. Men never could have it all, they just did what they could since most never really had a choice at all.

Welcome to reality Karol. Would you like some tea or coffee?

Epic. I like her.

Boom!

I'm relieved that someone has finally put it in print. I've been saying "men can't 'have it all' either" for years now.

It’s almost unheard of for a man to take a prolonged paternity leave, for example.

Do men even get paternity leave?

If feminism is still about equality between the sexes, women should look to men to see what successful, guilt-free “balance” looks like. Hint: The formula is a lot less “have it all” and a lot more “suck it up.”

Yes, only when American men and women are EQUALLY overworked and miserable will justice finally prevail. /s
