One of my readers, Vanessa, has brought this recent article in the Daily Mail to my attention and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Entitled, "Why bosses are right to distrust women who don't want children... by a VERY outspoken mother (and ex-boss)" this shitty piece is sure to get a few of you going!

Personally, I couldn't help but giggle at it. Childfree women are some of the best, most dedicated co-workers I've ever had, I don't know what this dickass is talking about.

The author however, thinks voluntarily childless women are "weird".

Yes, how WEIRD we childfree women are. We must be a truly unenlightened bunch not to want to deal with all of the possibilities children bring!

And there are so many possibilities...

You know, things like...Sleep deprivation, sick days, homework, snow days, learning disabilities, constant cleaning up after others, hundreds to thousands of dollars in childcare costs, Dora, The Wiggles, Bobpants, and other craptacular television shows, play dates, chauffeuring them to doctors appointments, school, extra-curricular activities and lessons, the lack of privacy, having to speak in code and spell out words instead of fucking saying them out loud, being quiet as a church mouse during sex, stashing the porn and sex toys in secret places and praying they won't stumble upon them, protecting a child's "innocence" from the realities of LIFE, amusement parks and Chuck E. Cheese outings, teacher-parent meetings, report cards, homework, tedious school projects, disobedience, arguments, Drivers Ed, time outs, car seats, crying, snotty noses, poops and potties, puke, every other bodily fluid under the sun, ADD, autism, behavioral problems, medical problems, teen pregnancy, trust issues, uneven parental responsibilities, groundings, punishments, the possibility of raising a child who grows up to disappoint and shame you...

Ugh, yes...only a WEIRD person would shun all of these amazing possibilities!

Employers are so right to distrust us childfree women. After all, we're disobedient...defiant even! We won't allow ourselves to be thrust into a role we deem undesirable. We've weighed the pros and cons of child rearing heavily and have decided to rebelliously go our own way rather than follow the ways of the majority.

That definitely makes us a scary, sinister bunch!
