for sure.I want to add that women can also have it "all" without having children. We are at a point in society where it is becoming more common for women to choose not to have children as they realise there is a choice rather than following the life script. Two partners can be a family without children. We are childfree and have a blissful life. Without children, we still struggle to get some stuff done...I couldn't imagine adding a child into the mix.
One of my female friends had a great career and was on the Board of Directors when she had her two children. After her youngest, she set up her own company and still provides well for her family, they have a lovely home, nice holidays, the kids are well looked after, spent most days going to the park, doing crafts at home or other activities before they were old enough to start school etc. But, her husband left his job to be a stay-at-home dad whilst she worked full time. Once the youngest was in school, he started working part time. So in their case, yes - the woman ‘has it all’ (as it’s defined in your question) but I’m not sure it would have been possible if they’d both wanted to carry on working full time and build their careers.And by all i mean a thriving career and a harmonious family life. I notice we are always being told we should have both but in my real life I can’t think of a single person that isn’t struggling. Having both appears to be doable but no one I know personally is actually happy with things
