Salon's always been a mix of the personal and the political. The country's in a crisis, and the ecological balance of the world is quickly tipping over, and I appreciate every word Salon devotes to that.
But, you know, people grappling with a feeling of personal failure aren't likely to get much done in the real world, either. I don't have kids or, currently, much of a sex life for putative kids to destroy. But it seems to me useful for women and men planning to have kids to hear from someone who's been there, was surprised and shaken at an unanticipated consequence, and survived, good as ever, with good humor.
No harm and obvious upside. Feminists used to say the personal is the political, remember? (And without naming names, there are Salon pieces I've grimaced at too. But not this one.)
