HEH: Check out the highest-rated comment on this WaPo column, “The American Dream? I thought so, until I had a baby and no maternity leave.”

“Just another first world, entitled diatribe. What??? You had to cut cable and drive an older car and only eat out once a week? The horrors!!! It sure is terrible that we live in a country where you couldn’t get months of taxpayer funded maternity leave to be with a child you chose to have while still eating out, watching HBO, and buying a new car.”

The author of the column is Carrie Visintainer, who is identified as the author of a book makes the commenter seem all the more right: “Wild Mama: One Woman’s Quest to Live Her Best Life, Escape Traditional Parenthood, and Travel the World.”

I blame our out-of-control culture of female privilege.
