'When women such as Creasy and Anneliese Dodds announce their intentions to do right by mothers, my hope is mixed with rage. For years, ordinary women have been demonised for naming ourselves as mothers, for organising politically as mothers, for arguing that our status should be that of mothers rather than gestators, birthers or chest-feeders. “Keep Mumsnet out of politics!” has been held aloft as a progressive slogan, a righteous railing against those wrong-side-of-history dinosaur mummies whose brains are too addled by years of domestic drudgery to know what a woman even is.'
