Who every has "had it all"?
(Source: Hossein Zare)
Feminist debate is alive and well right now -- from Anne-Marie Slaughters' article on "Why Women Can't Have it All" to Sheryl Sandberg's new best-seller Lean In (i.e., the guide to how women can have it all).
Here is my question: Who has EVER "had it all"?
Pink vs Blue

Confession #1 - I loved "girl" toys as a kid. Despite being a feminist today, all I wanted was a doll (with hair that could grow with the pull of a string) and a fake wedding ring for Christmas.
One minor exception was my brother's carpentry workshop; I made tons of shit for my grandparents to buy when they came into town (what retiree doesn't want a miniature skateboard made from scrap wood?).
Confession #2 - I built these skateboards while exclusively listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter.
