I am not fond of the expression, "have your cake and eat it too" as it is often used in the derogatory : "She just wants to have her cake and eat it too", implying that "she" wants it all, or wants too much, or wants what we all want but are to repressed to claim.
Yes, I want to have my cake and eat it too. Duh. Am I just supposed to admire it and imagine how delicious it is? Fuck that. I'm eating it! Don't look at me like that. I'll share. Or hand you a fork so you can eat your own.
