Motherfucked: Three Stories of #MommyHate « peacocks and lilies. Left-feminism is more decadent and depraved than I thought, if the offerings for this mother’s day are any indication. Misogyny is a vicious phenomenon, but no aspect of it is more pervasive or more pernicious than . And that’s exactly what’s being offered this week from the left-feminist-identified blogosphere. Welcome to the third wave, where women never have to grow up, get to be as slutty as they want, and hating your mom is a badge of honor. Let’s start with Tracie Egan Morrissey’s article ? A chronic sufferer of Clinton Derangement Syndrome, a harmless comment made by her mom about her chubby baby and pantsuits has left her convinced that her daughter will be as scarred by fat-fear as she is. Because her mom, you know, is responsible for every single negative comment ever made about a female body.
Geez, over-privileged much, Tracie? Next up is the older, and you would think wiser, Kate McGuiness. I get where these women are coming from. Rate this: i Rate This. How Do You Protect Your Daughter from Your Mother's Bullshit? This is Acquired Insanity « The Confluence. This video is going viral so I thought I’d post it with a bit of commentary.
The reason why this video disturbs me so much while it just provokes head scratching and mockery from others is because this woman sounds only a bit less sane than some people I know. You don’t know insane until you’ve been stuck in a car with someone who’s gone on like this for hours but whose use of good grammar and more coherent sentence structure only serves to amplify the insanity. It’s the content that is the same. Basically, gays are dirty, filthy, unnatural, homicidal perverts who do nasty things to one another all day long and if we let them to this disgusting stuff, before you know it, straight white married men will be buggering each other too because it feels better than sex with a woman and they won’t be able to help themselves.
Also, no one who is unmarried should even think about having sex under any circumstances because it’s disgusting and fornication and shows a lack of self-control. Like this: The NYT’s ridiculous motherhood debate. The New York Times would like to know, what’ll it be, ladies?
Motherhood or feminism? I don’t know, I think a better question might be: Are you freaking kidding me? You’d have to go all the way back to January, when the Times hilariously asked if it should be a “truth vigilante” – i.e., fact-check its sources – to find such a fanciful query in the paper of record. This time, the “Room for Debate” Op-Ed page jumps off from French feminist Elisabeth Badinter’s contentious book “The Conflict: How Modern Motherhood Undermines the Status of Women,” asking, I kid you not, “Has women’s obsession with being the perfect mother destroyed feminism?”
It may take its inspiration from a controversial book on the tyranny of attachment parenting, but rarely has a single, short sentence strung together so many incendiary words. There isn’t much in the entire package that doesn’t feel shamelessly manipulated to incite an old-fashioned chick fight here. I don’t love her right.
