Today's Lady News
  • Tennessee's state legislature is noodling a "Don't Say Gay" bill that would prohibit teachers from using the word "gay" in the classroom until the 9th grade. (Yeah, seriously.) The Tennessee Senate is expected to vote on the bill this Thursday. [Queerty]
  • Stephanie Coontz's Mother's Day piece for the New York Times op-ed page is a must-read for anyone who has ever thought critically about stay-at-home moms, working moms, and how best to be happy after having children. [New York Times]
  • Also in honor of Mother's Day, Save The Children released its annual report, "State Of The World's Mothers." The best places in the world to be a mom? Norway, Australia, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark. The worst place? Afghanistan. The United States only comes in at #31 among the 43 developed countries ranked. Um ... "USA, USA"? [Save The Children]
