Exhale

"We are told that fulfillment is to be found in one’s accomplishments and accolades and that careers will give us the opportunity to help others. There is nothing more cynical than taking the human impulse toward enterprising self-sacrifice and service and exploiting it for material gain. But this is just what politicians and corporate culture have done—and continue to do—by appropriating feminism for their own ends and pushing careerism down our throats. And instead of advocating for a cultural framework that acknowledges the many diverse and noncorporate ways women find personal fulfillment, today’s feminists accept our current system and seek merely to have a greater say in its workings."
