ReplyForgive me for not noting: The United Nations is the source of the statistic that one in three women in the world will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. Whether it's 2/14 or any of 365 days a year, I'm glad people are raising awareness of this fact. http://www.unifem.org/attachments/products/312_book_complete_eng.pdf

ReplyI'm unsure, too, except that I offer support and voice to the one-fifth of American women who don't have children. Thanks for your comment.

You see a request NOT to "man-bash" as "hatred of males"? Hard to understand. P.S. Ms. Ensler's "most offensive line" was particularly offensive because it referred to female vs. female rape in early performances of a play ('The Vagina Monologues') that depicted male vs. female rape negatively. In the decade since, the scene has modified and the line omitted.

Perhaps your true argument is with V-Day founder Eve Ensler, who had the audacity to choose Valentine's Day to focus on the antithesis of love: violence. That's also the opposite of an insult to humanity, by the way. Your comments confused me, and my husband as well, who wondered why you were so quick to assume that I am single and made a deliberate choice not to have children. Neither is true. The more accurate conclusion is with neither sinister nor psychotic intent, my blog is for and about the one of every 5 American women without children, whether they chose that life or not. Selected posts are uploaded to Patch, and clearly, they're not your cup of tea. There are many others from which to choose.

ReplyThanks for your research and correction, Lance. Although, I believe the point still holds that for Ms. Mansfield, while she never hid her motherhood, it wasn't very compatible in that era with a career that took off after nude photos appeared in a 1955 Playboy.

ReplyThe causes of childlessness, including lack of a partner, were never a focus of this particular post which centers on women without kids at the holidays and ways to handle relatives' reactions. At my website, TheNotMom.com, I have discussed the challenges of women who want a partner and a child but have neither, a situation recently dubbed "emotional infertility" in a British study.

Thank you for your insights, Jennifer. I understand what you're saying. I never meant to imply that women get raped because they drink too much or put themselves in bad positions, but I do believe that we can stay alert and smart, in the same way that instinct tells us to clutch our purse more closely in some environments, or park under lights near the store's entrance when shopping at night. As for the focus on women, so much of the media opinion pieces I've seen has focused only on parents and the football players, especially the social media angle.
