Liz moans that women won't sacrifice a personal life for a professional life, yet where did that get Liz?
She is in her 60s, no partner, no family that will speak to her, no friends that don't work for her, no money and no security. She sees all relationships as coin operated, and doesn't understand why putting in coin after coin doesn't dispense undying loyalty.
She is incapable of admitting that women can be successful without sacrificing friends and family, because doing so would be admitting that her own sorry state was her fault for being so difficult to be around.
She loves animals because they are the only living things in life that can not escape when they are sick of her.
