Tabitha, it was a letter in reply to an article by a woman who suggested that the state of the nation was somehow in question, principally because there were no clever children being born anymore. Her reasoning for this was that all the young, bright women were career women without children, and all the young women currently having children were stupid, thick, school drop-outs, and that this meant the average intelligence of children was going rapidly downhill.
So I was a mother, age 25 with a degree and a bloody good job in the media and her article made me weep with anger. I read it on the train on the way to work and I have never been so keen to get to work and write my reply in all my life.
I was so angry that they came and took a photo of me, (looking angry) with my son in my arms. 'Angry from Billericay'! I shall find my cut-out and scan it in for your perusal.
Watch this space. |
