Especially if you have a baby coming out of you.

Actually this just makes me want to post my whole sexual history online for my kids right now.

WTF? I'm surprised at you.

I think this is an important point. A lot of white people think that black people are a completely different crime-committing species to themselves. They think that if there is an issue between a black person and a police officer then the black person must have done something wrong. White people don't get killed by…

Fuck off.

Still only ONE kitten and it's being all boring and asleep. *poke poke poke poke pokepokepokePOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKE*

Yup, that's it. ONE kitten.

Like deciding to be sexually assaulted?

I thought I needed to do this. With five children I was looking at part time work so I could continue to do everything at home as well. But part time work is hard to come by and you hardly ever get to choose what *kind* of work you do if the hours are paramount.

This is not about rich and white.

We could all troll the phrase to death.

Oh I realise that. It's a wrong-headed normative insult. But at least it's about something the evaluated person is or is not doing. It's about behaviour and the ingrained history of it we call personality. It's at least a better measure of a being than a literal measure of their fat distribution.

Wouldn't it be nice if the phrase "real women" referred to something other than body type. You know, like "real men" does.

Can you make a whole new article out of this please, this is all sorts of important and good.

Just to get all libertarian for a sec - how is being less amenable to preferential hiring practices for one gender being *more* sexist?

"the cost associated with giving birth is not a woman's cost. It is a shared responsibility. In almost all cases, a man helped get a baby in there, so a man should help get that baby out."

Call me dumb, but what does a slow cooker have to do with being a working mother? I have five kids and I don't cook. Men and children cook in my house. I have plenty of other things to do, like working enough hours to pay the cleaner. Since I stopped breastfeeding the working thing has been something a PARENT does.

Go on, somebody promote me. I'm sick of being grey...

SERIOUSLY, why is this so difficult?

I'm in New Zealand and I want the Go Wendy T-shirt! I'm trying to talk myself out of the shoes...
