Validated on national public radio re: media makes up "Mommy wars"


It’s not so much in what I said and what she said in response (click on “listen” and my call is about nine minutes in). It comes a couple of minutes after my call ended and the NPR guest, E.J. Graff, says she wants to go back to what the caller, Jill, said. That was kind of cool.

My son also thought it was remarkable that his mom got onto Talk of the Nation in the first place. Always good to impress the teen.

And Wendy: couldn’t help myself but I had to mention Judith Warner, one of the biggest peddlers of the media’s Mommy Wars myth. Sooo bad.

    Tracy Thompson (former Wash. Post writer, author of Ghost in the House and The Beast) has some great blog posts about the mommy wars: http://maternallychallenged.typepad.com/

    Thanks for the blog.

    Thanks for reading and commenting, Ginny. I love the title of that blog – Maternally Challenged!! That is perfect.

    I heard you on my way home! :)
    I had just turned on my radio and you were talking.

    I just listened to this. I’ve been following this as well. Have you seen the video of the latest panel with Graff, Linda Hirshman and others? I just got the link but haven’t watched it yet.

    No I haven’t seen that – if you’re able to pass on the link, that would be great. Or, I’ll get to it…eventually. :)
