"Why I didn't want a girl"

[asterroc]

A disgusting article written by a mother of two boys about why she doesn't want a girl for her third child. Absolutely disgustingly prejudiced and stereotyped and sexist and makes me want to puke. Moreover, what's this poor girl going to think when she grows up enough to read this article by her mother?

I love the bio for the author:

Amy Wilson created the off-Broadway hit "Mother Load," now on national tour. Her daughter, Maggie, is 16 months old, and Wilson "gets it" now, she really gets it.

One sentence to offset all the EWWWW PINK POODLES bullshit. Clearly, at the very least, CNN doesn't "get it".

I think I'm going to have to go listen to "When I was a Boy" a few times. And maybe "Cats in the Cradle" too while I'm at it.
