Have you ever noticed that our society loves to pit women against each other (especially mothers)? It seems to focus on creating binary realities in which women take one side and judge the women on the other side.<\/p>\n
For example, consider these examples:<\/p>\n
| breastfeeding<\/td>\n | bottlefeeding<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| assisted\u00a0birth<\/td>\n | natural birth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| stay-at-home mum<\/td>\n | working mum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| pro-vaccination<\/td>\n | anti-vaccination<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| co-sleeping<\/td>\n | separate sleeping<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| disposable diapers<\/td>\n | cloth diapers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| fat<\/td>\n | thin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| public school<\/td>\n | homeschool<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n The lists go on.<\/p>\n I have to wonder why society is like this. Maybe if we keep women fighting against each other they won\u2019t band together and fight against systems that oppress women as a whole.<\/p>\n Maybe it\u2019s time to change that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever noticed that our society loves to pit women against each other (especially mothers)?
