But why oh why must they be in the pregnancy/parenting aisle? <BR/><BR/>The memoir section is where you belong and where you shall be.

It just reminds me of a villain called Momra in Thundercats, a cartoon series I used to watch as a child.<BR/>I think "milf" has been misappropiated (as most words to do with women and their bodies are, harumph). The original context was American Pie, where teenage boys used it to indicate a woman old enough to be their OWN mother. That's where the incongruity of "mom" and "like to fuck" comes from, I'd say- the idea of a teenage boy fancying their friend's mum, where their normal taste would be for girls their own age.<BR/>ps DelurkingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-17474893491046274442007-10-15T19:49:00.000-07:002007-10-15T19:49:00.000-07:00This is definitely an improvement.

Cheers to Seal Press for letting it stand on it's own merit instead of sticking it in a marketing pigeon-hole. If the rest of your writing is anything to go by, it wouldn't fit. And I can't imagine you wanting it to.<BR/><BR/>As for the MILF thing, I completely agree. Except the mother part seems to be the attraction for some people. I had a hit from a google search for "How to sleep with your mate's mum" and wrote a silly Dear Abby response to it. I get hits every day from people wanting to get mums into bed.<BR/><BR/>And being pregnant and becoming a mum while single has been an interesting sociological experience. Male reactions were wild and varied, but all strong. There's something evolutionary about it, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1040794750878527202007-10-15T19:29:00.000-07:002007-10-15T19:29:00.000-07:00Good rant, makes sense, and I'll try making WILF m...Good rant, makes sense, and I'll try making WILF more mainstream.
