I’m Too Busy Building My Brand is disgustingly discriminatory — and just another example of a larger mainstream media bias against blogs, and “mommy bloggers” in particular. Without quite naming it, they describe how this is typical [...] 14 March 2010 at 11:47 am | Category: Gender, Kyriarchy, Parenting, Privilege, Race, Sexuality | Tags: gender roles, misogyny, mother blame, racism, the double standard | 17 comments
Like this? Share it: Most parents, in my observation, have a hard time sending their child off to school — or anyone else’s care — for the first time.
