Goldberg to Ann Romney and New Media: So Not Sorry

Goldberg to Ann Romney and New Media: So Not Sorry: After comparing Ann Romney to Hitler and Stalin for writing her Mother’s Day fluff piece on motherhood, professional feminist author Michelle Goldberg faced strong New Media blowback, and she’s miffed about it.

So miffed that she wrote an angry, rambling fauxpology on The Daily Beast, where she enjoys a platform as a senior writer. Goldberg attacked Ann Romney again as a “calculating political wife … who is now determined to play up the idea that’s she’s being victimized for being a stay-at-home mom….”

Goldberg doesn’t just double down on her snarling attack, she exposes her larger theme that “bombastic odes to traditional maternity have a sinister ring, especially when they come from people who want to curtail women’s rights…”
