Don't ask me why the First Nude has become SO "PREACHY" lately, but her WaPo "motherhood" fatwa elicited groans

Melania’s Motherhood Sermon Immediately Backfires
Readers weren’t impressed with the first lady’s screed in The Washington Post.

“Your husband compared a reporter to a female dog the other day,” read one top-ranked reply.

“Motherhood has never been dishonored,” wrote another. “The only thing that dishonors mothers is when a husband cheats on his wife with another woman and fathers a child out of wedlock. You might want to address that with both your husband and Pete Hegseth.”

A third commenter dismissed the piece as out-of-touch theater: “She lives a life of excess and materialism and she’s telling mothers—some who work two and three jobs—to do more at home but make sure they take time for self care? She has raised an entitled nepotism baby and has done NOTHING with her platform as first lady. What a disgrace.”

Others questioned the byline outright. “Donald Trump, five children from three wives, and brags about grabbing them by the you-know-what. There’s a moral voice for you,” one wrote. “Does Bezos’ devotion to the Trumps have no bottom? Also, clearly not written by Melania.”

The ideal woman in Nazi Germany did not have a career outside her home. Instead, she was a good wife (however her husband defined that), a careful and conscientious mother (taking special care to raise her children in accordance with Nazi philosophies and ideals), and skilled at doing all domestic chores such as cleaning and cooking. Women had a limited right to training of any kind; such training usually revolved around domestic tasks. Over time, Nazi-era German women were restricted from teaching in universities, working as medical professionals, and serving in political positions within the NSDAP.

Sounds very Trad-wife to me.

Porn film would not matter to Americans.

Must be much worse.
Directly involved in the rapes and procuring children like Ghislaine.
Rumor has it Trump's first wife helped Ghislaine recruit girls at the pageants and parties.

Yes, any preaching at all from this one is really hard to take.

The myth that feminism devalues motherhood was popularized by Phyllis Schafly’s toxic reign as queen of the Moral Majority. It was the opening salvo in the culture wars, eagerly promoted by the press in the Sunday “Style” section back in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Feminism regrds motherhood as an honorable choice which should not restrict women from making other choices. Society should respect and support individual choice.

What could be simpler?
