"When I asked Rebecca Traister what hashtag she would suggest as an alternative to #havingitall..."

"... she came back with: #StumblingTowardParity,‬ #PushingForBetter,‬ #StillWorkingOnIt,‬ #GuysThisIsYourProblemToo,‬ #DemandingMoreForMoreOfUs,‬ #Feminism‬."

How about #reality?

Let's just hope HAL 9000 doesn't rebel against us then.

Amy said...: This is all so annoying. Do men "have it all?" What constitutes 'it all' anyway? DON'T THESE WOMEN KNOW that life is all about tradeoffs?
So goddamn aggravating.

It's the epitome of a first-world problem.; 7/2/12, 1:36 PM
Saint Croix said...: Feminists are constantly surprised when women leave work to look after their children (if they can!) It's almost like women carried their babies in their bodies for nine months or something.

And of course these same feminists will turn around and say that women should have absolute control over human reproduction. "It's my body, it's my choice."

Feminism today is all about denial. The denial of fatherhood, the denial of motherhood, the denial of the baby's existence. The denial of basic biological difference between the sexes when it comes to human reproduction.

Feminism seeks to replace this biological inequality with utter fascism in the favor of women. Giving women utter control over human reproduction is the definition of "having it all."

And then, after saying fathers are legally irrelevant to pregnancy, feminists are shocked (shocked!) with the rise in single moms. And utterly surprised that so many men now fail to recognize the duties (and joys) of fatherhood.; 7/2/12, 1:41 PM

This reminds me of Martha Burke's Augusta National crusade. She wanted to rearrange society so she can experience luxury beyond what virtually any man will ever experience. Apparently because some infinitesimal percentage of men achieve such luxury society should discriminate against all other men.
