You know, I may not be wholly supportive of everything going on with OWS but damn if this doesn’t piss me off.
So, to the person who made this:
First of all, you’re using your kid to send a message that she probably doesn’t even understand. You want to say something to the protesters? Say it in your own voice to them. Don’t put harsh words in a child’s mouth in an effort to get your message to go viral. Because don’t tell me that wasn’t your motive.
The use of “bitter women’s studies” sort of takes away from anything of value you might have had to say. It’s demeaning and short sighted and, well, sort of bitchy.
Yay for you that your family is one where one parent is successful enough in their career that the other parent can stay home and raise their child “properly” and I put “properly” in quotation marks because fuck you for insinuating that any woman who works outside the home while raising a child isn’t raising their child properly.
There’s not an awful lot of families out there who can afford to have one salary coming in. You’re fortunate. I hope you know that. And I hope you can stop your high-horse gloating long enough to do a little research and find out just how hard it is to make ends meet these days. Just because you can doesn’t mean everyone can.
And it’s really cute how your daughter is so sure that she’ll be a productive member of society. Because if things keep going the way they are going, good luck to her finding a well paying career in five or nine years, depending on if you can afford to send her to college when the time comes.
Part of me hopes she comes to you when she’s in eleventh grade and tells you she wants to major in Women’s Studies.
And part of me thinks that you’re just hoping she’ll marry well so she can stay home and raise her kids “properly” while her husband works.
I don’t know you. But I know I don’t like you.
