[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so weird to me how much effort some women put into trying to tear other women down. It’s not enough that governments are trying to police our bodies- other women have to police how we look, speak, and feel.

She is a single person who is a mother. I guess she could call herself a divorced coparent or something else. Maybe you should suggest she do that for your satisfaction and comfort. [/quote]

Seriously, drama llama?  It’s “tearing women down” to not agree with them on everything they say and think?

Getting called out on your BS isn’t the same thing as being “policed” BTW.[/quote]

Sure it’s policing. So worried over the semantics of what a women calls herself that have nothing to do with you. Tearing down because it’s another form of mom shaming cloaked in something else by someone who calls you “friend”. Because at the suffering Olympics, no one can have it easier than you in your perception, or pinpoint anything hard that you can’t compete with.

The complaint here is that now this divorced woman has all this luxury time as though she probably isn’t suffering the financial implications of divorce and missing her kids like crazy. Holidays that were once all together get spent apart, and possibly completely alone. As hard as always being “on” as a parent, I can’t even imagine how that feels. That to me is what earns the “single” title as well as the ones slogging 100% - when you are alone, you are missing *everything*.

And this fight seems to be woman specific. I don’t think men are sitting around worried about who is calling themselves a single dad. Women also aren’t worried about the ones calling themselves single dads. It’s only other women they want to complain about. And it’s hateful and weird. [/quote]
