Can’t We All Get Along?

Via Pandagon, I read another article that heaps hate on women with kids.  She’s outraged that a periodical is geared to women of a certain economic background.  Who’s reading Maxim, for God’s sake? She’s also outraged about other things, but I couldn’t finish reading it.  Too much hate going on.

I just don’t get what is going on right now.  Why all the gross characterizations, slurs, and anger?  Why are we segmenting ourselves into these different subgroups of women based on our work and childbirth status?   I would prefer to find commonalities, rather than beating each other up over who’s a better person while making sanctimonious statements about one’s own virtues. 

Strange times.
