Caitlin Flanagan is a woman-basher. She of great privilege and dubious stay-at-home credentials hits those of us who admit to be working mothers with the most unkind cuts of all. we don't love our children as much as she loves hers. our husbands don't love us and would not carry us to chemotherapy the way hers did.
