More Cheese to Go With the Whine

Yet another "feminist" has written a book talking about the "big lies" women are being told, including the "lie" that one can put off motherhood indefinitely.

As if anybody truly gives a shit. It's just more whining from the one percent while the rest of us are falling into poverty and despair.

This article could have been written back in 1975; the "issues" are identical but increasingly irrelevant today given the massive income inequality in this country. It appears far too many self-styled feminists identify with the one-percenters in the elite, MALE-dominated fields, than with virtually all other women. I guess these people think they are better than those shitty secretaries, housewives, teachers, nurses, or any other women who dare to still work in traditional female occupations, to say nothing of those who are unemployed. Elitism has always been the Achilles' heel of the women's movement, and feminists deserve every bit of criticism for it.

The worsening living standards of the 99 percent of the people in this country is what feminists should be devoted to combating, not spending time whining about "biological clocks" and "having it all."

Child Abuse

You would hope parents have children for the right reasons and would do everything in their power to make sure their children's welfare was most important on their minds. However, there is at least one narcissistic mother who thinks making some kind of political or social point is more important than being concerned about exploiting her kid in order for a magazine to sell copies or get hits on their website.

I am, of course, referring to "the" cover of the latest issue of Time. It is absolutely disgusting and borders on kiddie porn, frankly. You want to be an overprotective mother and breastfeed toddlers, fine. Just don't do it in public and don't shove it in my face.

Not to mention there is an anti-feminist message being peddled. Women aren't good enough no matter what they do. The "standards" for being a "perfect" woman become more and more unrealistic.

This guilt-tripping of women hasn't changed one iota for fifty years or more.
