Compare, if can stomach it, the Meghan and Kate articles today. 150 ish comments each. Meghan’s are all good and Kate’s are all bad. It would be funny it it wasn’t so obvious. Now I don’t really think either of these inituatives are exactly perfect but come on, please see yourselves people, they are clearly pandering to Meghan.

Just last week I was so angry when I saw comments judging Kate for not working because she was on maternity leave. It is maternity leave , not vacation! Honestly, we wouldn’t let men get away with ignorant comments like that. But  when it is women doing it, it is OK?!!! 

No, it is not OK. I am in the US, I worked until the day my contractions started, and that is normal in the US. We are treated like livestock here, and that is not OK. And people who don’t see that because it is more important for them to disparage Kate than to defend women’t rights, I don’t have words for them ….

Anyway, the next day I saw that Kate was out with her own charity, and, apparently, was not just lolling about during her maternity leave (Urggghhhh.) I did wonder how the Kate-haters were going to spin that.
