“Sex was the rewind button when you were alone and the fast-forward button when your parents got home.”
Heather Babcock

Ada Calhoun
“I'm not knocking choices, just saying that having so many of them with so little support has led to a great deal of shame. Being a full and equal partner both at work and at home, having a rich social life, contributing to society, staying in shape - doing all that is exponentially harder than doing any one thing. We asked for more, and did we ever get it. I firmly believe it's fairer. Easier? No.”
Ada Calhoun, Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis
