At Buzzfeed, Rumpus Sunday Editor Gina Frangello writes about the complicated relationship between women, mothers, writing and sex:
I’m not really sure how our culture has arrived at the mutually exclusive relationship between Motherhood and Sexuality, especially since in most cases, women become mothers by having sex. The unspoken subtext seems to be that once a woman has children, any openness she displays about sexuality, even in a fictional realm (how does she even know about those things?) would be either a bad/dangerous influence on her children, or would be direly embarrassing to them.
