This kind of nonsense is why I am not a feminist and it really hurts your cause it’s exactly in the same vain as company’s saying pregnant people

It’s bat shit

Some feminists were saying it promotes sexist stereotypes


Iam a stay at home mother their is nothing wrong with that and I do get the feeling that feminists hate the traditional family set up and I don’t understand why
I am not being made to stay at home if anything I felt pressure to work in the past witch ended up being harmful to my mental health and my family

Why shouldn’t girls be able to feel ok with wanting to be a stay at home and raise their children if that’s something they think they would like to do

It's a type of story that really appeals to young children.

It starts with a familiar setting: tea with Mummy. Then something unusual happens: the Tiger arrives. The story moves further and further away from the norm until it actually begins to get really scary: no food, no water.
Then an authority figure arrives and makes it all safe again.

Another of Judith Kerr's books,, "Mog In The Dark" has a similar theme: poor Mog imagines what might be lurking in the dark. Her imaginings become more and more fantastic until she's eventually kidnapped and taken away. She then wakes up from her nightmare. Her people take her to her basket and supper, safe and comforting inside her house.

I suppose we grow up when we realise that, like in "The Wicker Man", no-one is coming to rescue us.
