rescued from danger or poverty by a handsome prince, suggesting that a woman has to rely on a man to take care of her.
Para10: but he forgot to add that they don’t get to be superwomen that way. 但他却忘了补充一句，她们这样站着等候成不了女强人。 “ Get + infinitive” means “succeed, become enabled, or be permitted to do/be”. Here “get to be” means “have the opportunity to become”.

Here it means “give the approval for accepting the woman’s check”.

Para13: Women, of course, have always believed that we can’t have our cake and eat it too--the old low-dream diet. Women have always expected little, believing that you can’t have everything at once. It implies that men are encouraged to achieve their goals in life, but women know that they can only achieve some goals at the expense of other goals. 女人嘛， 当然相信鱼与熊掌不能兼得——人们反复灌输的不要好高 骛远那一套。

There was an interesting item in the newspaper today. Collocation:
Para3: In weak moments I’d comb the pages of newspapers and magazines and consume success stories by the pound. In the moments when I felt weak, I’d search newspapers and magazines thoroughly and read great quantities of success stories.
But like a dieter who eats quickly a whole box of cookies when his determination to go on a diet is not firm, I sometimes found my resolve was not firm either.
Para6: When, I wondered aloud
If you wonder aloud, you express your thoughts as they occur to you rather than thinking first and then speaking. 不由得惊问。
真不该多此一问。
Para11: Sometimes I think that these modern fairy tales create as many problems for women as the old stories that had us biding our time for the day our prince would come.
