  1. Ironically, motherhood can mean a woman being either denigrated or elevated, depending on circumstances e.g. unmarried teen vs married lady staying at home to raise her children while the husband provides. Funny old world, isn’t it?

  2. ⁠ @softsophisticate my parents both worked, because we needed the money. My Grandma, who lived with us, raised me. I wish my mother or mother-in-law had been well enough to care for our boys while my hubby and I went to earn a living. The working classes didn’t have luxuries like stay-at-home mothers back in the day, and they don’t now.

  3. I wish. As the main wage-earner, I was back at work as soon as possible - got to pay the mortgage! - while my other half (now my ex) went part-time. We needed two incomes to stay afloat and his went down less than mine would have…. This was the late 1990s, btw.

  4. I worked (desk job) until 2 weeks before my first son’s due date. Easy pregnancy, no problems. Four weeks later, after three days in labour, I’m rushed for an emergency C-section. Ditto second child, although the hospital only gave me 24 hours to try for vbac. Would I have elected for a section? Heck, no. Perhaps “too posh to push” is Ella’s pov.

  5. You forgot a key principle of fmnism: the protection of woman and children from exploitation and abuse. Can’t have that now, can we 🙄

  7. @user_angelmumand dyslexia! To this day, at age 63, I struggle with time management and calendars, which can be embarrassing. Btw, I can read and write fine, except when I get really tired and can’t!
