Something is missing, and it’s something not so easy to name as semiabsent husbands, not so easy to point to as a lack of work, or too much work, or a lack of adequate child care.

A sense that after all the hard work, for all our achievements as individuals and as a “postfeminist” generation, life should be better than this.
