PICTURE THIS

To echo the excellent The Guilty Feminist podcast, I’m a feminist, but I’ve grown entitlement and privilege inside my uterus. Yes, I’ve birthed not one but two white middleclass males. Just what the world needs right now. I’ve always felt omnisciently aware of the huge responsibility this brings upon me, but over the past 18 months it’s become far more acute. It goes beyond the usual “what did your last slave die of” taskings of motherhood and into terrifying “how do we celebrate you without making you into a monster who wrecks havoc, Trump style?” territory.
