I'm a breeder

I have been so offended that I'm almost speechless and I know this has to surprise anyone who knows me or reads my blog. It all started with a stupid little email joke earlier this week at Bane Rants. It started a stream of offensive comments that ranged from why women shouldn't be allowed to vote to why we are incapable of running our own lives, we're just hormonal blathering idiots. The next focus of the rant went on about how some women are just "breeders" because we chose to have children and be moms. *gasp* What a concept?!

I can't even see straight when it comes to this topic. Women can be hormonal, but we are designed that way. It doesn't keep us from being able to run households or corporations any better or worse than a man. I tend to think men can lose some of their focus when they're not getting laid. They get crabby and hateful in ways worse than the most PMS-filled woman.

But, I don't want to rag on men. I love them. I just hate those people who can't see both sides of an issue. I don't have any opinion of women who chose not to have children. Sometimes I envy them and sometimes I feel sorry for them and other times I have no opinion whatsoever. Who cares if someone wants to have kids or not? Why should they care if I want to have children? Why do they feel the need to make ugly remarks at my choices? Besides, where would we all be without mothers? Nowhere.
