What have we done to ourselves?

I do not know if this is a news flash to you, but NO, we cannot do it all! We as woman have been a part of perpetuating one of the greatest myths in history. You cannot be an outstanding mom, a patient and loving wife and a model employee at the same time! Yes, we can try and some days we might even succeed, but at the end most days, I’d bet that you, like me, cannot help but feeling as though you’ve shortchanged someone! Maybe even yourself! Who thought we could do it all? Forgive me if I am betraying womankind, but today I am issuing a press release!


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WE CAN'T! WE JUST CAN'T!
We are sorry to inform you, but there has been a mistake. We can no longer bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan! Yes, of course, suffrage was amazing. Thank you to the women who stood up for something that was so inherently wrong. Yes, and if we do choose to work, it is ridiculous to think that we shouldn't be paid the same as our male counterparts. Equal pay for equal work was certainly worth fighting for. However, I have just one little issue. We cannot do it all! Effective immediately, please stop expecting us to!
