Title: Even the Honesty is Phony
Product review: One contributor described how she continued to write parenting columns that appeared to touch on hard issues and provide insight into the genuine truth about raising a family, all the while not really noticing that her daughter was spiraling into an eating disorder or that her son was acting out in impotent rage. The whole book felt like that kind of writerly ignorance - the buffing up and bleeding out of your best and most revealing stories in order to make good copy. Even the honesty felt glossy and phony, and I can't help but think that many of them turn a blind eye to the real damage done. I was continually shocked by fact that so many "feminists" seemed to think the work of child-care is fundamentally insulting, but just fine for some other (read lesser) woman - or that between shaping the heart and mind of human being and launching a product in South America, clearly the one with more value is the one with a paycheck. Sick and sad.
