Gloria Steinem

I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Steinem points to a question she has not heard men ask. By naming marriage and career together, the observation draws attention to whose combination of roles is treated as a problem needing advice. It describes an imbalance in the questions she encounters, not a survey of every man.
