Maybe I Should Be Dutch

...except that I like being American.  Anyone see this article a few weeks ago?

I loved the whole article, but this quote sums it up for me:

“Perhaps [Dutch women] are happy because they don’t feel guilty for falling short of perfection. We are torn to shreds between the American and the Mediterranean models of womanhood. On one hand, we are boardroom feminists expecting equality of expectation and outcome. On the other, we are matriarchs, wanting to run model kitchens and walk through meadows with bands of children.”
