American Women

First "Can Women Have It All," then "Lean In," then now another big feature in the Atlantic about "The Confidence Gap."  The central point: how unfair and difficult it is to be an upper-to-upper-middle class American woman these days.  I'm tired of this noise.  American women of this social standing are among the most privileged people to every walk this planet and we are expected to devote cultural energy to figure how this group of people ought to be "doing better." Please.  At least the old aristocrats knew and acted like the privileged people they were rather than lamenting how bad off they had it.
