[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who sees this as pretty sexist?  The idea that "moms" are bad (because they lose their appeal to men in large part).  Maybe OP should spend some time thinking about how society judges women for their choices and things out of their control (biology of aging), and decide whether she really wants to make her own life decisions based on that.

No, I saw, too.  I am shocked that this is how a woman sees other women.  It is clear that this dear lady has some negative internalized messages about the value and capability of women and those messages are focused on appearance and social approval (being interesting--whatever the f--k that is).  I think she should seek some intensive therapy to work through these issues of self-worth BEFORE she even considers whether she wants to have children.  God forbid that she have daughters.  What would be the message conveyed to them.

Please OP--find a good therapist.[/quote]

Right?  And g-d forbid if a woman should find herself without the resources to have her hair and clothes perfect after having children.  Then she becomes a "mom," that horrible thing.  [/quote]
