Following is an excerpt from “A Few Good Eggs”: The Real Glass Ceiling
“Our society makes us believe women can have it all. We deserve it all. We are entitled to it all. Women rarely attended college a century ago. Fifty years ago, few worked outside the home. We’ve had the vote for less than half this country’s history. Today there are female CEOs, astronauts, and senators. We have proven we can work as hard, nit not harder, than the guys. This we have earned, no one can take that away.
However, we not only think we can have it all, but also feel we should have it all ― that we are entitled to everything because we’ve worked so hard (or have always gotten what we’ve wanted). This is fine if you are talking about a college degree, a better paying job, or a flashy new car. The big shocker for some of us (and we include ourselves in this category) is that we never expected we might not be entitled to birth a baby ― because of our other time-wasting choices (but relevant at the time) we made along the way. But this is the truth. Some of us might not be able to birth a baby.”
