This morning I was listening to my favorite morning radio show, Bob & Sheri, and the caller was talking about how her husband thought she was getting frumpy and old. The caller was like, who cares? She was 31, two kids, and worked full time. But Sheri told her that she had bought into the myth that once you have children a woman is no longer a sexy, powerful person, but that she was WRONG.
Sheri said that becoming a mother makes a woman way sexier, smarter, more powerful, more engaging - and that men know this, so they try to make us think that we have to become conservative, uncool "moms." So they can control us. She was being funny, but serious too.
And you know what? I agree 100%! I feel way more important, more fulfilled, more content, and a whole lot sexier now because I have CREATED LIFE. Woman ARE powerful. Men can't have babies. Even if they could, they couldn't handle the pain, so they wouldn't. I am woman, and I rock. I deserve to have a voice. I deserve respect.
When I say cuddle, I mean cuddle now, dammit!
