Fleishman Is in Trouble

by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Whatever kind of woman you are, even when you’re a lot of kinds of women, you’re still always just a woman, which is to say you’re always a little bit less than a man.

Right before you were pregnant, you were a person. The minute you became an incubator for another life, you got reduced to your parts.
