Why Women Still Can't Have It All

This ludicrous article basically says women don't
feel comfortable working as hard as men, but "society" should pay them anyway.
Why Women Still Can't Have It All
women can [not] have high-powered careers [even if] their husbands or partners are willing to share the parenting load [because] most women will [not] feel as comfortable as men do about being away from their children. … men do seem more likely to choose their job at a cost to their family, while women seem more likely to choose their family at a cost to their job.
...
Ultimately, it is society that must change, coming to value choices to put family ahead of work just as much as those to put work ahead of family. If we really valued those choices, we would value the people who make them; if we valued the people who make them, we would do everything possible to hire and retain them; if we did everything possible to allow them to combine work and family equally over time, then the choices would get a lot easier.
Translation: Women don’t want to work long hours with beta house-husbands. They want to have it all: respect and pay, leisure and family quality. If they aren’t hot enough to attract a rich alpha then they want “society” to subsidize them. Men should support families, be disposable wallets, and die early ... because women
feel comfortable about that.

Nah. You translated wrong.
the translation is: give me everything I want....because I deserve it because I am white and have a vagina.

The good thing about being men is that we were born with the part of the brain that allows us to use logic; Why can't women have it all? Because no one can have it all.
Entitlement, these days the default mode of the women of the West, doesn't even register with me any more...and that's what needs to change.

Did you guys even read the article?
That is not even close to the point of it.
Her arguments are mostly just common sense.
1) The workplace could stand to evolve a bit more to give employees more flexibility.
2) In an emergency, if you give a woman no option and force her to choose, she is always going to choose family over work.
If you're not in favor of that, why not?
What I see in this thread is a bunch of guys claiming to be superior to women. But the substance of the article doesn't even matter. It's just an excuse to parrot manosphere credos and high five each other in some kind of empty circle jerk.

The article sucked. Poor, over-flowery writing that didn't really get to a point.
@Tigre.......
Why should the workplace evolve for any purpose but to improve the work that is being produced? "Flexibility" sounds like a buzzword for a relaxed, non-serious atmosphere where it is hard to keep employees accountable.
More importantly, it is bullshit to think that men choose their jobs over their families. Many men work because they make it a priority to provide for their families.

Tigre ,
you have a lot of would, coulds, shoulds, in your post......
you strike me as one of those big government statist types.
Did you ever pause to consider that many jobs are jobs provided by private entrepreneurs - small and mid size firms who know best what works best for their productivity.......... ???
So you want to dictate from on high what their work policies should be and what is most efficient.
You are very likely a closet communist with no respect for private property and capital.
