"It's much more acceptable for men to work and father kids. There's an inherent inequality, because we want to do it all, and I don't know how we can do this all"
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus
About this Quote
This quote by Julia Louis-Dreyfus speaks with the gender inequality that exists in our society. She is explaining that it is far more socially appropriate for guys to work and have kids, while females are expected to do both. This creates a fundamental inequality, as women are anticipated to do all of it, while guys are not. This is a problem that lots of females deal with, as they are expected to manage both work and family life, while men are not held to the very same requirement. This quote highlights the need for a more equitable society, where both men and women are able to pursue their goals without the pressure of having to do it all.
