Yes, this article is clearly about you.

Anyway... it is a strange article. Her example of her surgeon friend being incapable of reconciling her career as surgeon and her role as mother seems odd. Why can't she do both? Surely there are male surgeons who are fathers. Is it that she has a vision of stay-at-home mother that would be impossible to fulfill? Is she obligated to work longer hours than her male counterparts? Sounds less like a feminism-issue and more like an i-want-everything-and-i-want-it-now issue.

As an aside, what's with all the talk in the article about 'genes' and the 'inside woman'? None of that strikes me as particularly feminist or gender-sensitive in the first place.
