Love this piece, challenging ancient divide and conquer tactics and narratives. "These battles — between childless women and mothers, one kind of mother and another, old women and young, thin women and fat, ugly women and beautiful, popular and less popular, mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, between strangers and between best friends — this is patriarchy in action. It weakens women as as group and makes it more difficult to fight oppression. ...when we see women that excel in some way — whether they be accomplished in their career, impressive fashionistas, incredible parents, truly loved partners, inspired artists, or what-have-you — we are taught to find something about them to dismiss because they make us feel insecure. Instead, we should think “How fabulous is she! I want to tell her how great she is and be her friend!” " thesocietypages.org/socimages/2013/05/28/should-moms-hate-childless-women/
