The Angelina Backlash Is BS – She Is Incredibly Brave
Math whiz Danica McKellar is right. She’ll always, always be Winnie Cooper to me. But now that the attachment parenting advocate is popping up to specifically advocate for extended breastfeeding — for other mothers, not just herself according to reports — she’s beginning to go the way of the sanctimommy. Look away from the light, Danica!
But while a Drake University professor has literally penned an essay entitled “The Baby Bump is the New Birkin,” a new cultural analysis is being presented. A baby bump isn’t just a trendy accessory (eye roll). In a rich celebrity setting, it’s the biggest lady tabloid status symbol. More
Bullying in schools can leave a lot of parents feeling utterly helpless. It’s probably the first time in the child’s life in which mothers and fathers can’t necessarily get up in the bully’s face and be like, “you said what now?” Unless your mom is Jill Trahan-Hardy. And then that’s definitely what’s happening. More
The morning that Angelina Jolie‘s brave New York Times op-ed about her double mastectomy broke, I was in bed. In the wee early morning hours, I checked my phone to see an e-mail from Eve Vawter about the editorial. And just as I was starting to cognitively put “Angelina Jolie” and “breast cancer” together in my head, my first thought was “how did she keep this a secret?” Apparently even her on-again off-again estranged papa Jon Voight had the same question.

Diaper changes in places of consumption — such as cafes and restaurants — are detested for a reason. Granted, I find myself sympathetic to the parent who is scrambling for a changing table and simply cannot find one. Especially when the changing tables are in the lady-only restrooms. What are double daddies, or even a daddy, supposed to do? If you’re Ruth Burgos, you’re simply going to change that tot right there in the Starbucks seating area. Hey, it was Mother’s Day! More
Yesterday, we reported that 72-year-old Dr. Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of three murder counts for his grisly rendition of illegal abortion practices. But despite attempts by the prosecution to get Back Alley Butcher Gosnell put to death for callously jeopardizing the health and lives of his patients, he has been “spared.” More
There’s a lot to be irked about in The New York Post‘s story about “wealthy Manhattan moms” cutting Disney World lines with the hired help of “handicapped tour guides.” While I kept quadruple checking to make sure I wasn’t reading The Onion, I also found myself unable to get past a few particular details. And it wasn’t just the echoing of, “This is how the one percent does Disney.” More
If you think your custody battle was tough then I will kindly direct you to the story of Tanaha Koontz. The mother of three and former prostitute based in St. Petersburg, Florida says that she found herself without virtually any rights to her babies after her husband yelled “whore!” in court proceedings. But Tanaha alleges that it was her abusive husband who was sex trafficking her to begin with, pimping her out after losing his job. Unable to recover her children so far, Tanaha is now raising funds to tell her story — and that of many other women like her. A documentary that she hopes to entitle “Whoremom.” More

After all the gory details regarding cat feces and women dying and disposable medical supplies being reused, Dr. Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty of three counts of first degree murder. Dr. Gosnell’s vivid and cavalier recreation of illegal abortion in the Unites States — a period of our history that we cannot possibly get away from fast enough — deserves nothing else if not time behind bars.

Oh to be a celebrity lady and have your entire childbearing years be constantly assessed and scrutinized for that possible baby bump. Is it here? Is it there? Is it under that big fancy print dress that you wore to the Met Gala that your BFF Gwyneth Paltrow will never ever be attending again? Inquiring and completely entitled misogynistic minds are dying to know, Beyonce! More
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev isn’t the only murderer accruing a giddy fan base. In yet another instance of Ted Bundy love-letter sending, one of the “Boys Don’t Cry” killers is going to be somebody’s husband. You know, because sexually assaulting a transgender man, Brandon Teena, and consequently murdering makes him such a great spousal candidate. More

Late last summer, young Suri Cruise was back in the spotlight following her parents’ high profile divorce. (Such a spectacle notably made for a very lovely first day of school for many of Suri’s classmates and their parents). But after a year at the posh World School in Chelsea, in which her profile was starting to die down just a little, the 7-year-old is now reportedly launching a fashion line. Does this count as her summer extracurricular? More
