“The work-life balance is a harsh reality for so many women, who are forced every day to make impossible choices. Do they take their kids to the doctor...and risk getting fired? Do they work weekends so they can afford to send their kids to better childcare...even though it means even less time with their families? Do they take another shift at work, so they can pay for piano lessons for their kids...even though it means they have to stop volunteering for the PTA? It just shouldn't be this difficult to raise healthy families.” MeanRealityKidsChoicesDifficultPayImpossibleRiskBalanceHealthyLessonsDoctorsRaisesPianoWeekendHarshVolunteerWork Life BalanceLife BalancePiano LessonChildcareHarsh RealityWork And Life BalanceGetting FiredPtaHealthy Family Author:Michelle Obama
“No [I'm not a feminist] because I love men, and I think the idea of 'raise women to power, take the men away from the power' is never going to work out because you need balance. With myself, I'm very in touch with my masculine side. And I'm 50 percent feminine and 50 percent masculine, same as I think a lot of us are. And I think that is important to note. And also I think that if men went down and women rose to power, that wouldn't work either. We have to have a fine balance.” IfsThinkingMenNeedsImportantIdeasSidesHe ManFineBalancePercentDown AndRaisesRoseNotesFeministWork OutFeminineGoing To WorkMasculine Author:Shailene Woodley
