Uneducated Vs. Ignorant

Over the past month I have watched and participated in a group on Cafemom that is strictly for debating among mothers. Which I find healthy because every mother needs a good adult disagreement or discussion every once and a while.
But the absolute amount of judgment and ignorance I have seen since I started reading and posting has prompted this blog.
First I find that women are more likely to condemn the unknown rather than actually learning and educating themselves more about the subject by reading statistics and published studies rather than childish gossip rhetoric.
An example, uterine rupture in VBAC. Women just want to listen to what the media and their money hungry OB/GYN tells them instead of actually researching facts. We all know that an OB/GYN would rather rake in an extra 10K for the scheduled c-section then promote a healthy, and safe VBAC that could get in the way of a good nights sleep, or a round of golf.
The judgmental words that I have watched spoken remind me of a time about a decade ago when I roamed the halls of a high school. Anyone ever see that movie Mean girls? Ya know the one with Lindsey Lohan as the new girl who gets tormented by the popular crowd. Ya that one!
These grown ass women remind me of that. Not trying to have an educational discussion, but instead flinging insults and degrading those who do not conform to what they think is right in their own pea brains.
While I say pea brains, I am being nice too.

Move on to another subject, religion. Which is touchy for so many. You have these holier than thou women who are single mothers, have different fathers for their children, some may be married, but seldom to the man who actually fathered their child or children trying to cast stones at women who choose not to believe in traditional Christian values. Welcome to America, this wonderful land found on religious freedom.
Now, back to the original point, these women are in no position to cast stones at a stone, let alone another person because they don't believe in a fairytale called the bible.
Don't like the way someone lives their life, get over it. It is none of your business!
Don't like that someone supports gay marriage or equality for all? Get over it! It is none of your business?
Don't like that someone is pro choice and supports abortion rights? Get over it! It is none of your business.

I guess that kind of covers my rant for today, sadly enough, many of those childish adult mothers will never read this, even though they probably should to actually see what someone has to say about their disgusting and immature behavior. But its off my chest now.
I feel like I just got a car lifted off of my chest.

As for the website CafeMom.... if you don't have thick skin.. I don't suggest joining. About 90% of the CafeMom population is as described above.
I think the 10% left over are the natural birthing, non vaccinating, crunchy earth moms and I don't even fit in with them!
