These liberals are continuing to push the idea that women can have both motherhood and career. There is no such thing as having it all.
You are correct.
Told this story before so I will try to not get long winded. My former employer would bring in guest speakers once a month at our North American HQ in Plano. Typically they were execs at our customers. I passed on most of these as I didn't care or have time. But back in 2018 I was working for a female senior exec and she insisted staff attend because the speaker was the CEO of one of our top customers, and female.
This gal was actually pretty cool. When it got to Q&A (and HR always had plants in the audience to ask the "right" questions), HR chick bring the mic over to this younger female. She asks the CEO if it's true that to be a female executive you have to work twice as hard and twice as long as the men. Abridged version of the female CEO's response:
No, that not how it works. You don't have to work harder or longer then the men. You just have to work like they do. In other words, I'm a pretty mediocre mom and probably a crappy wife. I've missed a lot birthdays, games, recitals, even our anniversary several times. Dinner is usually my husband and the kids and I'm still at the office. Frankly I'm surprised my husband hasn't left me. I've even skipped family vacations at the last minute because of a work crisis. That's what it takes ladies. You can either make that work or you can't.
