This isn’t a uniquely female phenomenon. The expectation has always been for men to trade time with family for time at work.

  Feminism is not solely focused on females, it includes trying to fight the negative impact of gender roles on males as well.

    I wasn't criticizing feminism in my comment; I also wasn't saying there was anything expressly wrong with the status quo (men trading off on work so women could have more family time)--I'm sure it works well for many families. I was only pointing out that there's nothing inherently female about "not having it all" with the exception of the notion that women should be able to have it all--there has never been a broad movement that lamented that men can't have it all, after all.

    Except that if that were actually true (which it isn't) it would be called egalitarianism. Feminism is a feminine superiority movement.
