Over the weekend, I got myself into a zen place. Things that were enraging me last week were put into perspective; I figured out how to deal with some problems without nuclear showdowns. Life's short.
But then Jeremy alerted me to the fact that Linda Hirshman was over at TAPPED flogging her book. I went over and read. Pissed off again.
As I read her posts, sometimes it seemed like she had softened her message. In one instance, I thought she pointed out that many women weren't working after they had kids, because they faced real obstacles. But then she reverted back to that ugly side that we saw over the winter. She really hates women who stop working after they have kids. Mindless cows. Those without interesting jobs aren't even worthy of mention.
I don't get how you can call yourself a feminist and hate such a large proportion of women. Don't get it.
I suggest checking it out. Linda's displaying her trademark sense of humor (cough) and proudly stirring up the mommy wars.
