101 easy steps to having it all, Mark Morford
I am delighted to report, you can have it all.
Did you know? Have you heard? Despite rumors to the contrary, despite what Anne-Marie Slaughters recent hot-button Atlantic magazine cover story wishes to tell you (and especially you women in particular), Im here to say, its all a delicious and devious illusion.
"Why women still can't have it all" Causing a post-feminist stir, one existential conundrum at a time
Its also a terrific, nicely incendiary article, by the way, as written by a wildly overachieving superwoman, one who feels the feminist movement has sort of let her down. And why? Because, no matter how hard she tries and believe me, Slaughter tries very, very hard she has found it nearly impossible be a successful supermom and a top Princeton professor, a high-ranking Hillary Clinton staffer and an author of high-minded academic books, all while lamenting about the entirety of it all in a cover story for a major national magazine and all without stressing out her teenage sons, forgetting her husbands name or sacrificing her very soul to the altar of acclaim, influence and some ill-defined notion of female empowerment.
But I repeat: despite all of this, you really can have it all. Well, mostly. It depends. But not in the way you, or perhaps Anne-Marie Slaughter, thinks. Isnt that fabulous?
