pregnancy or how angry he or she was that this magazine put I know that this sounds way hypocritical but, I feel strongly about it and so, it must be said. I was reading a popular magazine today when I read a little snippet from their MailBag section. It was from someone in Pasadena, California about Halle Berry. She was the magazine's covergirl in last weeks issue and the reader/commenter reprimanded the magazine for being so irresponsible so as to put Halle on their cover while announcing her pregnancy with her current boyfriend. The reader/commenter was miffed about the "glorifications of unwed mothers". He or she would like to see children learn a more old-fashioned way of life where they get married before they have children. He or she even specified that we should teach our girls that lesson as he or she actually said, "especially our girls...." What really bugged me was not his or her opinion on Halle's unwedHalle on their cover simply to announce her pregnancy. What bugged me is that this person didn't have the strength in his or her moral convictions to proudly sign his or her name to the comment. His or her comment was listed as "Name Withheld Pasadena, Calif".
Bravo! Way to have the balls to stand up for what you believe in and do it under the guise of a nobody!
So, the reason I feel a bit hypocritical is that I do this blog pretty anonymously. All that I can say is that I am sorry!
What do you think? Should I feel like a hypocrite for getting bugged by someone hiding behind their namelessness in a magazine MailBag comment while admonishing someone else for their life choices and then reprimanding the magazine for putting her on their cover while I type in my mostly anonymous blog, in my anonymous home and office?
