Doesn't it sound like the NYT has an angle of trying to normalize MOM here?  It's not normal to marry for any reason besides love in my opinion.

I had to google cis gender, I had no idea this label existed.  We have too many labels already, why can't we just say that everyone is unique, like our fingerprints. I'm a woman but I act more like a man at work because it's a masculine culture and that's okay. I don't need to be labeled for that, nor do I need the work culture to change. People are complex and adaptable so labeling every subtle difference is pointless.

cis - comfortable in skin. as long as you don't have a rash I suppose.  

Why exclude the input from the many people who don't think a mom can work - It has to be a puff piece of journalism intended doesn't it?

The thing I have been noticing recently is that there is a loud and strong narrative about how the battered wife will take her husband's side.  Not nearly so much of a narrative about how the battered husband does his wife's bidding.  it is a profound level of control and deceit to which men are just as vulnerable as we are.

 

thanks, it's nice being agreed with!
