In the dying apple and cherry orchards in the Okanagan whose profits margins are deemed insufficient. In expensive houses built on unliveable inhospitable places. Those who are mothers, connected to that chain of life, would seem the obvious group to be leading public opinion on such huge issues. But the human mother is as disrespected as Mother Earth, challenged to raise children with scant inspiration from society. The nurturing of humans, body,mind and spirit is a devotional calling.
Smart women diss other smart women who make stay at home choices.
We provide children with begrudging welfare payments but will not enforce their rights to be supported by both people who brought them into the world. It is often the grandmothers who chain themselves to trees and serve jail time in protest against earth-rape. Or the younger people who are not yet caught up in the decades long job of family making. Anyone,of either gender, can be a motherfucker. I use the word mankind to describe all of us, male and female.
