Hi All,

>at that!

Jill Burchill was profiled on a BBC documentary recently. I didn't see
it, but my mother did, and she was refered to as "one of the most
unpopular women in Britain". She has made her career writing offensive,
"controversial" articles which newspapers like to encourage interest in
their letters pages (just think, how many of you Brits will have bought
the Guardian this week to see if it really was as bad as you'd heard?).
She is not only anti-mother, she freely admits to disliking children
intensely and is "child free" by choice.

My mother says she was running down fellow feminists the other week, in
an equally offensive way. She was apparently as ignorant of feminism as
she is of breastfeeding. Just MHO.
