It looks like since feminists won right to have equal privileges as men women’s life has got much harder. It is what author of article “Having it all” Glitta is trying to say; and for the most part I agree with her.
Before feminist movement, women were expected to stay home, take care of the house, children and husband; men were supposed to be providers for the family. It had strong and weak points: woman could spend more time at home with their children and pay closer attention to their education; at the same time, if man decided to leave the family his wife would not have a chance to support her and the children. When women get opportunity to work and make the same amount of money as men it made their life much easier; they did not have to be dependant any more because they could provide themselves without help from the men.
On the other hand, now woman expected to work full time as the man. However, at the same time she has to do house work, take care of the children and her husband; all this supposed to be on the same level as when she did not have to have a job. So, nowadays woman works the same time as the men, and when she and her spouse come home tired he goes to watch TV and she has to clean house, cook or do something also; it does not sound too fair, is not it? So when somebody says you can have it all it seems impossible as Glitta said.
The only thing I do not comprehend is why, if Glitta wants to have a carrier, she preoccupied with so many hobbies instead of concentrate on one thing and become good at it. Nobody, even man, would be able to become a professional if he was bouncing from one thing to another.
So, I think that every woman should decide for herself if she wants to have a carrier or spend more time with her family, otherwise she should know how to make both this things work successfully.

Who is to say that men shouldn't take more responsibilities around the house if women are working just as hard at their jobs?
