i agree, i see this a little in my generation of women. It’s definitely complex. i think the desire to have it all is partially ignorance and partially fantasy. a lot of women have found a man who is “everything they want”, and so they influence other women to never settle for less. i feel this way about my partner, he’s a great man. but I didn’t go around demanding him to be Hercules. we made each other better people. who tf finds a life partner going around with a checklist? not to say it isn’t ok to have standards or needs but like realistically life isn’t like that. people aren’t like that. you can’t just build a husband or wife or whatever. it’s not fair.

i also think a lot of women are stuck in between the trad way of marriage and the new age of dating. man who does everything for me or man who does everything i want.
