My Liz Jones ha'p'orth

Well, Liz Jones has upset mummy bloggers. We are predictably up in arms and writing about it. Writing about ourselves in arms makes a change from writing about babes in arms, I suppose.

The point that I find offensive is this.

The title of the article is "Free? You blogging mums may as well wear burkas", and the concluding comments are

"Women have again been duped into thinking the world exists in their tiny, safe, fragrant homes, that life revolves around burps. 

They might just as well don a burka, and shuffle, so narrow is their vision."

Am I the only one who finds this racist? Or if not racist, then religionist? Is published racism now acceptable? (I don't read the Mail, so you may need to fill me in on this one).

I've said enough. It's my policy not to add to these blogging spats, but I felt I had to point out the angle on this one that other people seem to be missing.
