Impossible Demands

“If someone condemned you because, say, you failed to prevent Hurricane Andrew, you wouldn’t dissolve in shame or work to overcome your inadequacy. You’d dismiss the whole issue. That’s the wonderful thing about seeing that our society makes impossible demands on all women.” — MARTHA BECK

I think our society makes impossible demands on *all* of us, not just women. That's being too narrow-minded IMO. I think it doesn't take into consideration all of the ramifications. It lays blame on those who are not women. Silly. We all have choices we make and we made this bed together.

Still, the sentiment is excellent.
