The problem, like so many of our societal ills, started with boomers.
They first spread this cancerous idea that women don’t need to settle, but can in fact have it all: Career, family, being sexy and desirable (and an amazing sex life of course!) as well as romance that’ll sweep them off their feet.
In reality, you can’t have it all.
Unless you’re like 1% of women, you won’t even be able to balance family and career.
Nancy Pelosi, (yeah she’s a cunt) is one example of that. She didn’t start her political career until her kids were grown. But she’s is the absolute exception.
Top men in their fields likewise often neglect their families, especially if they don’t have a woman who manage the family life.
But top men, unlike many women, don’t have an illusion that they can be amazing homemakers, top executives, sexy AND have the love life of a romance novel. Unlike too many women.
