[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For another perspective, read this article from Outside: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/snow-sports/tahoe-avalanche-truckee-memorial-moms/[/quote]

This is some duuumb self-congratulatory rationalization.[/quote]

What's dumb about it?[/quote]

What’s intelligent about it?[/quote]

Notice how the author reduces these women to just "moms". I'm sure they would hate that since so much of this is about not losing their sense of self and not just being wives, mothers, employees, sense of self, freedom.. But, this author just calls them 'moms'. The same women would probably bristle if the pediatrician walked in the exam room and just referred to them as "mom" during a child's appointment, instead of bothering to learn her name.[/quote]

WTF is this misogynistic BS?

I’m a lot of things, including a mom, but if I’m at the pediatrician WITH MY CHILDREN, AS THEIR MOTHER, I wouldn’t bristle at someone referring to me as mom. Go crawl back in your cave. People are dead. Why on earth do you think it’s appropriate to denigrate them?[/quote]

Get over yourself. The article sucks. And you don’t understand at all what i am talking about. Unless your first name actually is Mom.[/quote]

Many of us are more than happy to be called "Mom," even when we work ouside the home in careers we love. We also understand that many DCUM posters put their own interests, activities, and careers first and apparently view "Mom" as a less than valued term. [/quote]

Yes, I'm so sure you love people who aren't your kids to call you Mom everywhere you go. I'm sure you love it as much as being called Mrs. Husband's Last Name.[/quote]
