Does this woman have a point or do you think she's a bit too dramatic about the women on TV?

That "person" just needs to STFU.
Who died and left her judge of all that is righteous? Or does anyone really have to? She needs to get the pole out of her arse!
'Nuff said.
Erm, my thinking is that we have come a long way when women can openly say "I don't want kids. It's just not for me." For how long were women just baby machines? For how long has a woman been seen as odd, or crazy if she says she doesnt want kids?
Women are now more than property, they are more than baby makers. I think my fore-mothers would be proud to know that Ive seen a day when women can choose whether they want a career or to stay home, or some combination of the two. Doesnt the ability to choose whether or not you want a family follow that same idea? Isnt it about choice? About choosing whats best for you?
If they dont want kids, big freakin whoop! (And doesnt Rosie have 2 or 3 kids? Do adopted children not count to this woman or something?)
If she doesnt like it, she can just turn off the TV, or, if she feels so compelled, write a letter to the television stations or networks, but I dont think it does much good to go spouting off and telling other women what they should or shouldnt watch. All her ranting does is show how narrow-minded and ignorant she is.
....or maybe Im being overly dramatic myself ;)
Where was that post?
That was very over-dramatic. I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel Ray only comes off as not wanting kids but really does.
I know when I get asked questions about kids I take the easy answer out; the one that will raise least questions. I don't just chime in with my "yes we've been trying and its been xxx months so now you have to feel sorry for me" answer.
Since when is not wanting to be a mom an immoral thing?
Where is this thread as I want to see how others answered her?
I would like to see where Rachel Ray has ever said she and her hubby "loathing" of children. The interview I saw said she doesn't think she would be a good mom because she is so busy. She feels that she can't even give enough time to her husband and pets and doesn't think it would be fair to a child at this point in her life.
She has every right to do what makes her happy and if not becoming a mother is part of that, that's great.
It doesn't make her less of a woman and the world won't suffer because she never has a baby.
I think the poster of that message needs to go jump in a lake. She also need to go look in a mirror, she's a bit to judgemental for someone so perfect.
Where is this post? I need to go and read the whole thread and respond to it.
The author of that sure has a lot of nerve making assumptions. Did it ever occur to her that these women are infertile and just don't want to blast that info from the rooftops?
I'd really like to read that entire thread.
She needs to get off her high and mighty maternal rocker and be cyber slapped.
I think all woman should have some kind of career direction.
What happens after 10 years of marriage and 3 kids, DH decides to upgrade to a younger model? You're left high and dry, with no work skills. That's not called "being absorbed in your career", that's being smart.
And let's face it, not all women are cut out to live "maternal lives." If Rachel Ray doesn't want to have children, what business is it of mine?
You know considering she doesn't walk in these woman shoes how can she judge? First off does she know why they really don'thave children? How about Oprah? Maybe because she has never married and the man she married could of had a vasectomy,or rachel ray? Maybe their are issues with her dh or her and its easier to say we don't want any than reveal somthing so personal.
How about we talk about something really important, like me!
I'm so sick of FF closing my post for no damn good reason. There was two thread started yesterday talking about the number of post each of us have( I was hitting 15,000). One is closed, the other isn't. Guess whos was?
Sent stormy a pm, wanna guess how long before I'm given a involuntary vacation again?
*insert eye roll*
I find it funny that when she does mention a former daytime talkshow host that does have children (Rosie) she discards her b/c she doesn't fit her ideals of a 'moral' woman. Why the fuck does she think that every woman should have a child? And that 'career women' who have no desire to have a traditional family are somehow immoral?
As a current SAHM I have no desire to watch daytime TV geared towards my supposed interests (since SAHMs are all different and what appeals to some may not appeal to all). Hello- I live it, when I watch TV I want to be entertained and taken AWAY from that for a little while. My partner is a nurse- when he comes home after a shift the last thing he wants to watch is a medical documentary.
Besides....don't some of the harpies on The View have kids? Can't she park her butt in front of that for awhile?
Wow. She's going to pass out soon from the lack of air way up there on her pedistal. Rachael Ray doesn't want kids and that's her decision. I don't care. That's what she and her DH decided and if they don't want kids then I hope they don't ever have any, KWIM?
Not being mean, but if she wanted them then I'd hope they have some. She has stated that she is proud of her career and enjoys it and it wouldn't be fair to anyone (her, DH, the actual children) if they had any. (And she does spell it Rachael)
Oprah was pregnant once and lost the baby. It was a long time ago.
Ellen I don't think wants kid either. So what if she's gay.
Rosie has children, but I guess you can't be gay and moral, LOL.
I don't watch talk shows b/c having a 10 month old can be a bit hectic...plus the TV's on Noggin all day.
If I'm not mistaken every woman on the View has children...I'm pretty sure. She needs to chill, LOL.
Since when does being child-free mean you have no morals or scruples? Are we seriously falling that far back in our progress? Who the hell does this lady think she is to dictate what makes a woman a good person?
If someone does not want children, then more power to them.
I am the first commenter. I would give anything to have a child with my husband, but in the 8 years we have been together all we have accomplished is one horrible miscarriage. I am no more not a moral person because of it. I am a an almost 44 year old woman who's heart breaks because we are facing the end of a dream because time is just running out for us, and being realistic, we have the clear sight to see it and for us we know when to stop, and find a new dream, and that hypocritical witch dares to judge? Get a grip, get a clue, get a life, and quit judging without all the facts!
I want to know how having kids = morals? and whose morals are the standard? I need to read the whole post, but this one blurb is ludicrous.
I know that I don't have any children, and it's up in the air if I will ever have any, and it's not because I don't want them or lack of trying...So does that mean I'm morally bankrupt because I can't/don't have a child? I also agree with Karenmm, when asked about children I will often take the easy way out and say "No way, not for me, having way too much fun, my doggies are all that I need, ect." It's nicer and less painful than the pity party that ensues after I tell anyone about our infertility issues. Plus, my nonworking body is no body's else's business but mine.
This person spewing uneducated trash really does need to STFU!
FFS--what an idiot. TV is for entertainment. Who CARES about whether ENTERTAINERS have children or not? What a truly stupid thing to focus on. This is, without a doubt, one of the most ridiculous posts that I have ever seen.
I don't see why the poster thinks that A) these women should be role models--is she forcing her kids to watch daytime TV instead of parenting them? Did her mother force her to watch daytime TV, and those were HER role models? WTF.
And B) Agree with pp's who made several pertinent and salient points. Some immoral people have kids. Some moral people don't. And vice versa. Choosing not to have kids is a personal choice. But since, duh, we all came from a fertility website, obviously that's not the choice that WE made.
So WHAT if Oprah doesn't have kids? She built schools for other people's kids.
And C) Why does she have a hard-on for Rachael Ray?
I think she is just a bit on the bitter side myself...geesh not every woman wants or needs to have children to feel fulfilled. Perhaps at one time this was a career woman who is now "saddled" with children and WISHES she could be Rachel Ray!
I actually commend these TV hosts for realizing that the super busy career that they have chosen to have might keep them from being the mothers they want to be (I mean absolutely no offense to working mothers).
I think it takes courage to say parenthood just isn't for me but I am okay with that. Regardless of what a majority of society thinks nothing is wrong with not wanting a family and having a career!
