[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who doesn’t realize saying this is potentially going to ruffle some feathers has low EQ.

So the choices are you knowingly say things that are going to make some people feel a certain kind of way and you don’t care or you have low EQ.  So I’m not offended but then I form an opinion of you probably. [/quote]

So many people have low EQ though -- I've had to stop holding it against people because it's so common. I agree it's a bit time deaf and if she thought about it she should realize it's offensive. But I've also heard working moms say insanely offensive things about SAHMs -- see half the comments in this thread.

I also think it's worth pointing out that if you are primed to think people are judging you, it's incredibly easy to be offended and to offend. Everyone in this conversation is primed to feel judged so it's almost inevitable that they will keep offending each other because everyone approaches the issue from a defensive posture.[/quote]
