[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was obnoxious about her last paragraph?  That she painted herself as a benevolent super woman who deigns to lower herself to offer a helping hand to all the poor, stupid SAHMs who can't keep it together.  Come on. [/quote]

I didn't read it that way - I just read that she isn't some horrible, neglectful person just because she works.  She pitches in to help people when they need a hand, even if its not recognized.

Is there *anything* on her list of examples of people who occasionally require help that doesn't apply to both WOHMs and SAHMs?  Does anyone actually think WOHMs can magically open doors without their hands, never dig frantically through their bags, never get rushed out of the bathroom, and never has a child stand outside their bathroom stalls?  These are the minor annoyances that we all deal with, regardless of work status, race or class.  Isn't helping someone else at least a small step towards bridging any of those gaps?  I think she's trying to say that we shouldn't judge others so harshly, when maybe they're actually taking steps to support us in some small way.[/quote]
