motherhood?

motherhood.

wow. the media really took THIS one on a spin, hey? do we ask for this, as news consumers?

these are the mere ideas of the moment:

the ethics of care: the constructs of female emotion

marxist feminism: the production of reproduction. subornation is maintained materially and maternally. "women's work."

the construction of 'dependence' - when does autonomy take place? when our milk runs dry?

the backlash of biology. convenient physical manifestation to generalize women as mothers. behavior expectations.

the 'double bind' of tradition and career.

marriage as industry.

alright, that is about enough for one night, I think
