While women "are surprising themselves and the culture every day by not falling apart as they take on" new challenges, Wolf continues, "the culture seems increasingly obsessed with showcasing images of glamorous young women who are falling apart."

Wolf offers a provocative theory as to why this is: "In the past decade feminists such as Gloria Steinem joked that women could ‘have it all' but might also have to ‘do it all'"-meaning "do paid labor as well as the lion's share of child care and housework.""Maybe," Wolf concludes, "that's what leads to our fascination with glamorized images of women who apparently can't do any of it."

Contrast those images with that of the late Ruth Bell Graham.

Hmmm, was it a mistake, or was she subtly/subliminally trying to teach her readers that the Second Amendment protects the others?

I saw a lecture by her on the internets somewhere in which she tried to explain to a crowd of liberals how she finally realized that the militia and the people mentioned in the Second are one and the same.
