Naomi, in response to a question on why women trouble themselves with debate on divisive parenting issues:

[…] keeping women occupied with relatively trivial parenting matters which our ancestors didn’t think twice about means we don’t have time or energy to recognise our true status as women alienated from the real world, frustrated in our efforts to succeed at work, excluded from politics or other influential activities, raising the next generation of toilet cleaners and bankers whilst being told we need hv advice and surestart to stop us messing up and not a lot of thanks for it, dissatisfied in our unequal relationships, often suffering from things which society considers taboo in conversation eg miscarriage, menopause, pain or complications from childbirth…we could be quite a grumpy and dangerous group of people if we weren’t so easily distracted by parentings mags and pretty slings
