What is mom shaming?

Sobre este episodio

Just like with body shaming or slut shaming, mom shaming is another example of how women are often subjected to disproportionate criticism, and made to feel guilty about their choices, in this case specifically about parenting methods. The term refers to how mothers are criticised or even humiliated, for the way they bring up their children and fulfil their role as a mother. Such comments often come from within the family, but it can also be friends, colleagues or total strangers. It might be because of parental choices that don’t match their own, or that don’t match traditional societal norms. Who would be so judgemental as to make comments like that?
