What happens when you give all that – and we mean ALL THAT – advice about work/life/family balance to men instead of women?
It makes everyone selling that She-can-scale-Fortune500-companies-and-have-a-family-and-eat-organic-and- keep-a-perfect-house-with-perfect-nails expectation feel ashamed of themselves.
The parody twitter account @manwhohasitall: Top tips for men juggling a successful career and fatherhood highlights the load placed on women to be GREAT. PERFECT. SUCCESSFUL. HAPPY. Did we mention PERFECT? In every facet of their lives.
It delivers all that inane advice, all those tips, all those expectations women are bombarded with on a daily basis to men, and in doing so is both amusing and reinforces the complete and utter double standards between the sexes.
The anonymous author of the account has refused repeated requests for an interview because they are “exhausted, frazzled, overwrought. No time for that.”
Now, that’s odd. That sounds like something a woman would say…
Here’s a taste.
WORKING DAD? Prepare tomorrow’s breakfast now! Knowing everything is ready for breakfast makes it easier to cope with manic crazy mornings.

WORKING DAD? Batch cook meals that you can freeze & use on days when you have no time to cook. Smart dads get ahead! — manwhohasitall (@manwhohasitall)
To all talented men. Don’t be AFRAID of your talent. It’s okay to be good at something. Try not to apologise and diminish yourself. Be YOU.

To all men with an opinion. Don’t be AFRAID to speak up! It’s OKAY to be a man and have an opinion. Some women actually find it attractive — manwhohasitall (@manwhohasitall)
