I will have to agree with the 23-year old reader who wonders whence all the mommy articles. Not like I'm one inclined to childbirth anyway, but this piece pretty much nailed (pardon the pun) the coffin shut on whatever miniscule desire I might have had.
This article certainly isn't worth space headlining the Salon page. It wouldn't even qualify for Best Post in Table Talk. It's like reading somebody's Livejournal. It doesn't even pretend to tie in to any larger trends or new discoveries about sexuality. This is more on par with that dreadful Ayelet Waldman, and Salon can do better.
Not that I don't enjoy a sex story for purely entertainment's sake, but the ones I do hear generally aren't published on the front page of what is ostensibly a reputable online news journal.
Enough with the personal, oh-so-bourgeois, sinfully dull "women's interest" pieces. Most of the women I know aren't interested in baby blogs.
