WAPO's "momspeak" column calling Rosen/Romney "Mommy Wars"

[ehrnst]

GAWD I hate it when the term "Mommy Wars" is used when referring to any disagreement between women on parenting issues.

It's up there with "Cat Fight" in terms of describing women disagreeing with each other.

1. It's up there with "Cat Fight" ... not that women can actually be treated as adults

always, diminish, dismiss, degrade

2. And it's not even about Ann Romney's mothering.

It was about her presumed expertise in what American women think about the economy.

to do the job

4. I loved Maureen Dowd's piece on it though

5. I like that she called it phony mommy wars - not capitalized

I think she walked the line well between referring to the moniker without giving it any credence.
