Can women have it all?

Sen. Wendy Davis (D-Texas) was recently featured on the cover of The New York Times Magazine with the cover reading "Can Wendy Davis have it all? A Texas-size tale of ambition, motherhood and political mythmaking." She is currently running for governor.

It is so frustrating to read these kinds of titles. I don't think I've ever seen a magazine cover with a similar title for a male politician.

The Frisky, a women's lifestyle website, wrote an article on how we don't ask if men can do it all, so why should we ask the same about women.

The author of the article says: "Instead, I’d like to note that we hardlyever see male politicians skewered for their parenting. We look past that aspect of their personal lives — for the most part, barring a mistress or financial scandal — and focus on their politics. A male politician who is also a father gets to be, first and foremost, a male politician. But a female politician who is also a mother? It’s completely different."

The article also gives some examples of how the media would portray male politicians if they were judged the same way women politicians are. Definitely worth checking out.
