For all you mommas out there struggling with guilt, which pretty much includes 100% of us, I thought you'd be amused by this piece of research coming out of Spain, as reported by UPI:
Women feel more guilt than men, not because they have too much guilt but because men feel too little, researchers at the University of the Basque Country say.

Although I believe women are programmed to feel more guilt than men, I also think (and know from personnel experience) that given the right circumstances and enough incentive (shall we say) women can be molded to not feel any guilt at all.I personally feel guilt for the smaller things but the bigger things I don't feel it so much and I suppose that's because I figure that if others don't feel guilty for the bigger stuff then why should I.Treat people how you want to be treated so if men don't feel guilty for doing stuff then why should I?
