I was not having it all, when Anne-Marie Slaughter’s Atlantic article, Why Women Still Can’t Have it All caused an uproar.
Instead, like many of you, I was combining several ITs of the ALL – travel, vacation, work, marriage and time with frolleagues (colleagues with friend benefits). To have these its, I took a break from writing, another IT of ALL.
When the travel ended, I had time to write about having it all.
- It is the wrong question
- No one is Having It All, but
- We are stuck in culturally determined roles about which ITs of HAVNG IT ALL men and women can choose

I offer two solutions:
- Question then shift the underlying assumptions and structures regarding:
- career
- parenting
