The interesting thing is that men also can't "have it all". They can be successful at work but that means they won't be as involved in their family life, won't have such a rich social life etc. Unless of course, they create boundaries and are prepared to lose jobs or other opportunities over this. But then again, not "it all".

Men aren't the default (but that's kind of another story) and they sure as hell aren't some kind of superhumans who can have it all. Yes, they can have a family and a career and are more likely than women to have both (patriarchy, yey!), but it's not like that they can have that hot shot high-paying manager job and still be there for their children every step of the way.
This is so true! Men struggle with the same time constraints but the reason why it isn’t a question is because there is no expectation for them to even be involved in family life, let alone lead that area.
