People are people, no matter how small
Some interesting reads about how children are people and how bashing kids and/or moms is not OK and is a form of oppression and bigotry of a very vulnerable group. I might add more links later if I find some good reads.
Dear Kate Harding, which is a response to an article Kate Harding wrote for Salon.com. You can find it on your own if you like. Don’t bother with the comments to the article unless you want to end up with a headache and a foul mood. Really.
Dancing betwen the tables: On the personhood of children
Hi, and thank you for the trackback! I’ve read all of the articles you linked to above and I think no matter how it’s worded, the message is the same: children are people and they deserve more empathy and respect than they currently receive. I guess that’s something that many people can’t understand until they have kids of their own but we shouldn’t stop trying to get through to them.
I look forward to reading some of your posts, too!
