i know some people are probably just having a knee-jerk reaction because they dislike nicole richie (i don't mind her but i'm not what you'd call a fan, btw), but i really hate that attitude of calling women bad mothers or selfish because they *gasp* still care about having sex with their partners and having some kind of boundary between their life as mothers and their life as one half of a couple. or how women get bitchy at other women if they still care about their look after giving birth... what, so any woman that doesn't devote herself 150% to her child to the point that she no longer gives a thought to her partner or her looks, is a selfish, bad mother? give me a break.
Don't you know, sputnik? Every aspect of your personhood is supposed to be stripped away once you breed, you're just a 'mummy' now!
