There's a reason I'm met with condescension and derision every time I advocate for my kids. Chances are it happens to you, too. Plus, 5 ways to be less sexist toward mothers.
Another fantastic article! Zawn, I know you’re not at this stage yet but the teenage years should be mentioned as well. God forbid your teen rebels or does normal stuff like experiment with substances, sneak out, sleep in… and the world attacks the mom. Too lenient, they say. Or maybe too strict. Whatever it is, it’s the mom’s fault.
Can I blame absolutely everything on men, or no? Because women and mothers are everything. And, WE know this!
One of my favorites:
‘The real core of the feminist vision, its revolutionary kernel if you will, has to do with the abolition of all sex roles—that is, an absolute transformation of human sexuality and the institutions derived from it. In this work, no part of the male sexual model can possibly apply. Equality within the frame work of the male sexual model, however that model is reformed or modified, can only perpetuate the model itself and the injustice and bondage which are its intrinsic consequences.’
Listen, my daughters are 23 & 27 plus I am a
woman, and all my life I’ve had to fight! And still will & do, and I don’t give a fuck.

You may hear, "Where was the mother?" a lot, and sometimes even "Where were the parents?" but you will never, NEVER hear, "Where was the father?"
unless I'm in the conversation. and then everyone just looks at you, blinks, and says "work!"
