she's wearing bedazzled denim. on top of denim. on top of a bedazzled t-shirt. that's tucked into (belted) mom jeans.

Seriously. Look at her outfit (bedazzled denim on denim). Look at their house.

because women are the only ones responsible for raising children?

The WHO makes recommendations with developing countries in mind, where women don't have access to formula or nutritious baby food. The point is, women shouldn't feel pressured to have to breastfeed for a year and there shouldn't be this movement of women trying to one-up each other and making women who work or don't…

I do, but because my comment was long enough and I didn't want to write an entire treatise, I lumped attachment parenting in with the earth mamas and helicopters. But yes, you can also add co-sleeping, baby wearing, breastfeeding for over a year, not letting babies cry themselves to sleep (and training them to sleep…

Seriously. And yet they are 100% convinced they are the best, most dedicated mothers in the world and that their Precious Snowflake will have all the necessary tools to cure cancer, become president and win a Nobel Peace Prize.

I know a couple, both are professionally successful women in their 40s and early 50s who should definitely know better, and yet their 12 year-old son still sleeps with them. They only all stopped sharing a bed a few years ago because the kid got too big. Now he has his own mattress on the floor but he still sleeps in…

Sort of related to this, Elisabeth Badinter published an article a while back about how these new types of helicopter/attachment/earth mama parenting - but particularly motherhood - are undoing the advances we've achieved in the last 50 years and basically holding women back but more perversely, through guilt and the…

Context. It's a beautiful thing. I'm assuming you're not a famous chick with a history of EDs, a brand named 'skinnygirl' and (I assume) you don't look like a competitive calorie counter.

Exactly!

Wait, did they just fire the entire Jezebel staff, or does working here suck so bad y'all are leaving in droves?

"In the past"... except she's still showing off to the world that she, a grown woman, can fit into her 4 year-old's pajamas...

Maybe there's nothing to indicate that he has any issues that might adversely affect his daughter? In which case, it's not sexism, it just means that he has no issues that might adversely affect his daughter

This woman has a history of EDs. Trust me, any one of us with histories of EDs can tell you that this picture is anything but innocent and it also tells you that her EDs are not a thing of the past and she is still obsessed with her weight. (that and the fact that she named her company skinnygirl...). The picture…

Who said she's an unfit mother?

No, of course that's not what I'm saying.

Oh please, it's not about 'women', it's about a woman sending an absolutely horrible message about body image to her daughter (and the general public but that's not the important thing here) and being reprimanded for it by a judge, which I think was a good thing.

It's not the bragging. It's the reasons behind the bragging. It's what the bragging represents. If I were the judge, yeah, I would have said something because she's raising a daughter and will probably pass on her eating disorder and unhealthy body image. It absolutely is a family court matter.

Are you serious? Do you know how badly mothers with eating disorders fuck up their daughters? Do you know how many women with eating disorders basically 'inherited' them from their mothers? It's a huge issue and it most definitely is the judge's business and if I were the family judge in this case, I would force her…
