Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
I hate it when writers take what could have been an interesting topic and worthwhile discussion and turn it into a rant against something they apparently know nothing about. In her article, Is Sex Passé?, second wave feminist Erica Jong says sex has become boring because younger women are “obsessed with motherhood and monogamy” (…and [...]
I should have had this up before Mother’s Day, I know, but I guess that just says something about my ROI as a blogger. Thank god I’ve still got my motherhood to fall back on. I have to say, I’m a bit surprised that ‘years of ass-wiping and potty-training’ = ‘turning you into a functional, [...]
