Women subsumed into their children

[Xenia]

We certainly must guard against woman as only mother and nothing else

so it's wrong to quote a 10 day old thread? A 10 day old opinion is no longer relevant? Do you change your views from day to day, sm, because I don't?
I'd say that what someone posts 10 months ago, never mind 10 days ago, is a pretty reliable indicator of what they believe in/think.

and I'm waiting for sm to tell us what she really thinks of housewives, to tell us that she thinks they contribute just as wohm do.

its not my 10day old thread being traipsed up
you'd need to ask the poster in question any queries you have
but in general its bad form to search or recall previous mn posts its a bit gripey

I think absolutely all posters should stand by their words.
I am happy to be quoted since the day I joined.
That is the reason I dont change names.
I want people to see my words.

And you are wordplaying again.

sm, I'm asking you now, directly:
what do you think of stay at home Mums?
Do you think it's a valid choice for a woman in 2012 to be a stay at home Mother?

Also realised that her thoughts are rarely deep.

lol,as deep as you want them to be
given you wilfully interpret how you wish
and one womans beef is anothrs well made point

You write froth.I feel very disappointed.

I still love you scottishmummy.

disappointment is ones own responsibility
i understand that you need to discredit my opinion some way. such is debate
so true to form, a casual summation will suffice

froth and wordplay.The end.

casual rebukes
and dismissal
lame

Very thought provoking article, i have seen first hand friends that are worried about what to do when their children grow up.

But i have a pic of my DS on my fb because he is beautiful and i love him

On FB your photo is used as your ID when you play games so many women "hide" behind either their children's photo or a cartoon character. Unfortunately there are a persistent number of chancers who want you to talk dirty on the chat board or make unwanted personal remarks about your appearance. It is also a signal to other mothers that you can just play a quiet game with them with no hassle, so is a useful code.

This is very true also, i have found this to be very much the case. It reassures other people that you're not strange, or about to start inboxing them inappropriate messages

would you mind answering my question sm?

Ahem

My children are my life - If i have taken a nice picture of my DDs or even my dog i will put it up for my profile pic. If that offends peoples feminist sensibilities - tough shit.

Oh god yeah i think i often have pics of my dogs up more than my kids lol
