About this Quote

This quote by Erica Jong talks with the idea that women are frequently burdened with sensations of sense of guilt, while males are not. This might be as a result of the truth that females are typically expected to take on even more duties in the home and with childcare, as well as might feel guilty if they are not able to satisfy these assumptions. Additionally, females may feel guilty for not living up to societal expectations of elegance, success, or motherhood. This quote indicates that men are not as most likely to feel guilty for not fulfilling these expectations, which females must not really feel guilty for not meeting them either. Ultimately, this quote motivates women to be extra approving of themselves and also to not feel guilty for not meeting impractical assumptions.
