"When I asked Rebecca Traister what hashtag she would suggest as an alternative to #havingitall..."

"... she came back with: #StumblingTowardParity,‬ #PushingForBetter,‬ #StillWorkingOnIt,‬ #GuysThisIsYourProblemToo,‬ #DemandingMoreForMoreOfUs,‬ #Feminism‬."

How about #reality?

I don't think these women have much contact with reality.

Great answer. Whenever I see such nonsense my only reaction is to wonder what fool thinks anyone "has it all".

She can have it all as long as I don't have to pay for it.

Men will have it all once the world population is down to about one billion perfect people like me, and the few women are sex slaves as Doctor Strangelove planned it out.

Let's just hope HAL 9000 doesn't rebel against us then.

Sci-Fi is today's theme, you know.

Let the sex slavery begin!

I volunteer either way, slaver or slavee.

What's a gal to do? #FirstWorldProblems is already taken.

This is all so annoying. Do men "have it all?" What constitutes 'it all' anyway? DON'T THESE WOMEN KNOW that life is all about tradeoffs?
So goddamn aggravating.

It's the epitome of a first-world problem.

Feminists are constantly surprised when women leave work to look after their children (if they can!) It's almost like women carried their babies in their bodies for nine months or something.

And of course these same feminists will turn around and say that women should have absolute control over human reproduction. "It's my body, it's my choice."

Feminism today is all about denial. The denial of fatherhood, the denial of motherhood, the denial of the baby's existence. The denial of basic biological difference between the sexes when it comes to human reproduction.

Feminism seeks to replace this biological inequality with utter fascism in the favor of women. Giving women utter control over human reproduction is the definition of "having it all."

And then, after saying fathers are legally irrelevant to pregnancy, feminists are shocked (shocked!) with the rise in single moms. And utterly surprised that so many men now fail to recognize the duties (and joys) of fatherhood.

Yes, I demand parity! We must make sure men and women have equal life expectancies and incarceration rates!

At least give Rebecca Traister some credit for informing Ms. Slaughter that framing your big idea with a dated, self-refuting, cliche is a blunder. Someone needs to get through and tell her not to use COOs as subjects of pity, but you can't have it all.

NEWSFLASH: Hyper-privileged woman upset she is not hyper-hyper-privileged

"NEWSFLASH: Hyper-privileged woman upset she is not hyper-hyper-privileged"

This reminds me of Martha Burke's Augusta National crusade. She wanted to rearrange society so she can experience luxury beyond what virtually any man will ever experience. Apparently because some infinitesimal percentage of men achieve such luxury society should discriminate against all other men.

Once you get past envy leftism has nothing to offer.

How about getting rid of the lame use of the hashtag altogether.
