On some levels, I think women are self-deprecated if our biology dictates our self-directed accolades. I mean, we agree men are debased if they're self-congratulatory over their biological prowess so I see momdom as the flipside of the same expression. It's just so much splintering; first we are human. Then we are daughters. After that we are wives, then mothers (caveats noted). It just seems so transitory ...temporal. We don't celebrate daughter-dom or wife-dom. This is what it boils down to in a business context; many of the moms I know will have to change their business names/marketing as they age because they'll outgrow the label. Later will they become grampreneurs? It just strikes me that the human condition is about more than defining ourselves according to a transitional phase of life's passage. If one's enterprise is of long term value, then we shouldn't label ourselves in such a limited fashion. And then, it's trendy. I wasn’t yawning but I was a little sad.
