As I switch roles and become the parent leaving for work, I can’t even
score a cute little wave in response to my faux-brave calls of “bye, bye”.
Instead I am the target of the baby stare as she glides off in her father’s
arms to the car for a busy day of beach, supermarket and kid-shuttling….(Full Story)

F4L: I read the whole article and was reminded of a little poem that was often told to me in a sing-song voice when I was about 4 years old, in 1940.  The poem can be adapted to wean just about any child that age from the habit of being greedy, unsatisfied and what have you:

Little Cathy doesn’t-know-what has everything she wants,
And what she has she doesn’t want,
And what she wants she doesn’t have.
Little Cathy doesn’t-know-what has everything she wants.

I wonder if Catharine Munro is a true feminist who is in touch and miraculously connected with all other women; have them feel what she feels and she feeling what they do.

That can hardly be so.  If she truly were so connected would she not feel what other women feel, what feminism promised: The joys of motherhood - undisturbed by her husband and father of her child; the liberated feeling of being beholden to no man, and being able to earn her own living on her own (even though her husband contributes generously through baby-sitting services and the other household chores he does); the pride of being able to do everything that needs doing in the home, as well or better as any man could?

But would she not also feel what other women not so liberated as she is feel: To love a man and be loved back by him, to be able to devote herself to her child without having to rush off to work; to have a husband do all of the things that husbands do in addition to working a full-time job earning the income for their family, to love him for it and again to be loved back by him for being appreciated?

Even if she were thus connected and were to get mixed messages, should she not be grateful for having the liberty of doing everything she wants, whenever she wants, whether she is a stay-at-home mom or whether at a given moment her husband is a stay-at-home dad?

She should feel that way, because she would also be connected with all those other liberated women for whom the liberty promised by feminism, the freedom to have it all, brought nothing but misery, varying degrees of poverty and disappointment that the liberty of having it all means that such women have to do it all — by themselves, and that work that one must do by oneself, with no one to help or take over, is slavery, not freedom, not only everlasting and wearying but just simply too much for one woman all by herself.

FREE: MUM, 40, WHO HAD SEX WITH BOY, 14

By Jeremy Armstrong 14/10/2008

Fury as judge says lad seduced her

There was outrage last night after a 40-year-old mum who had sex several times with a boy aged 14 was spared jail.

Judge Peter Fox QC told Sharon Edwards she had been “seduced” by the teen adding that she had been “a very unhappy lady for a very considerable time” when it happened….(Full Story)

Mum of boy 14 seduced by pal speaks of devastation
By Sarah Arnold

A boy of 14 seduced by his mum’s best friend was so innocent he still went to bed with a teddy bear, his devastated mother revealed last night.

She angrily denied a judge’s suggestion it was her son who lured 40-year-old pal Sharon Edwards into sex.

Edwards, described by the judge as “a very unhappy lady” walked free with a suspended sentence for under-age sex and offering to give the boy cocaine….(Full Story)

F4L: A 40-year-old man who has sex with a 14-year-old girl will go to prison for quite some years. There is absolutely no question about that.  When the roles are reversed, the boy becomes the criminal and the woman goes free, because she was seduced by the boy.

It seems that an appeal must be launched.  Evidence of the seduction by the boy must be produced to permit the judge to rule that that is what happened.  Moreover, there is still the question of statutory rape.  It is illegal for anyone to have sex with someone below the age of consent, even in the U.K.. If the judge says otherwise, he needs to be fired.

Curtain of darkness

Olavo de Carvalho
Diário do Comércio, January 15th, 2009

What is happening in the American news media is terrifying for those who can see through it. Exaggeration? Conspiracy theory? A recent example will allow you to judge for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

When Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was accused of attempting to sell Obama’s Senate seat, the first question that came to the mind of police authorities was whether the President-elect had partnered with him or at least was aware of what was going on. There was no hiding the question, not only because it came directly from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, but also because, a few weeks earlier, one of the main Obamist campaign aides, David Axelrod, had mentioned in an interview a recent meeting between Obama and governor Blagojevich. Obama’s reassuring reply came right away, after, according to him, a thorough internal investigation, and was promptly trumpeted by the media as the final solution to the riddle: No, not even Obama himself, nor any member of his team had had any contact whatsoever with Blagojevich. Axelrod was quick to confirm it, swearing that his first declaration had been just a slip-up. With that, the media announced en bloc, to the general relief of the believers, that Blagojevich’s fall did not in any way stain the anointed Messiah’s honor….(Full Story)

CLEVELAND — A Cleveland woman accused of drowning her two daughters in a bathtub has changed her plea to not guilty by reason of insanity….

The 23-year-old mother previously had pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder in the October 2007 deaths of her children.

The girls were ages 2 and 4….(Full Story)

F4L:  Yes, there always is an excuse.  If it was not her husband or any other man who made her do it, then the next in line are the devil or her inner demons.  If everything else fails, the poor murdering mama can always claim nothing more than that she just could not help herself and just had to do it.

Right, and, predictably,

Doctors: Mom Who Drowned Kids Suffers From Severe Depression

CLEVELAND - A mother charged with aggravated murder in the bathtub drownings of her two daughters was found not guilty by reason of insanity Friday.

A three-judge panel in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court determined that 23-year-old Amber Hill suffered from a severe mental disorder when she drowned her daughters on Oct. 1, 2007.

“The court concludes she did not know the wrongfulness of her horrific acts,” said Judge John Sutula….(Full Story)

See? Women are not truly violent, ever.  They just can’t help themselves.
