Did you happen ...I, too, was featured in the story. Did you happen to notice that they failed to even mention that all of us (albeit I've put my blog on hold indefinitely) featured in the story actually do cool stuff like write blogs? In any case, the double standard is right there for everyone to see but rather than feel offended most people (and by most people I mean only women) that I've discussed this with just laugh. They think it's hilarious! Look, I HATE PC nonsense and could care less what people call me but if the mag is going to go out of its way to ensure its PC compliance by encouraging one of the dads interviewed not to use the word "pansy" as, according to the mag's gay editor, it constitutes a gay slur, then they should apply the same Litmus test to all demographics, including straight dads. (Interestingly enough, when I share this fact with friends, they can clearly see how calling someone a "flower" is so obviously offensive but somehow referring to fathers who dearly love their children as mere "status symbols" is a source of tremendous humor.) I appreciate the mag presenting both sides of the story as I'm confident it would be equally judicious if the story was about SAHMs, right?Steely Dadhttp://www.steelydad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-43389478657991570252010-08-15T00:35:02.849-04:002010-08-15T00:35:02.849-04:00So like, are you and All Roker buddies now?So like, are you and All Roker buddies now?Homemaker Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184158557108064422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-67751847212375761992010-08-13T20:35:26.746-04:002010-08-13T20:35:26.746-04:00WTHeck?

(But don't tell my mortal enemy, Jason, that I went to the site.)<br /><br />The Marie Claire article is not horrible, and Lauer actually seems as upset as any normal person would be about the "status symbol" part. It's a shame, because without that part it could have been a positive article. Now it's become the center of their little thesis. Well, magazines need to be controversial and offensive to get on TV, I suppose.BloggerFatherhttp://www.bloggerfather.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478885332727102848.post-82962897332636505982010-08-12T12:25:42.964-04:002010-08-12T12:25:42.964-04:00I saw your tweet but didn't see Al's respo...I saw your tweet but didn't see Al's response.
