I'm going to go and write me some badass Hunith fic.
Because the world of fiction - movies, tv, books - doesn't do a good job of portraying mothers as *people* - they are usually in the story in their capacity as a donor of recombinant DNA. Real life isn't like that!

You may find it amusing to hear that my friend from South Africa has no doubt that she could get funding to start a business back home because the policy is based on research showing that money given to men tends to wasted, while money given to women tends to be invested....in the future. You know...children? The people who become you once they're 28?
The way she put it was: A man makes money and he buys
1. a car
2. beer
3. prostitutes
Anyway, that's a little crude. Obviously men do all sorts of wonderful things, but it is very silly of us as a culture to believe that children are a sideline. No wonder businesses get so caught up in short term gains; they've forgotten about tomorrow. Well when you are a Mom, tomorrow came out of your body.
Or you wanted it to, which goes for guys who adopt, too.
