A Note About Diaper Changes
A mother isn’t bothered by a messy diaper or a child covered in vomit. We clean them off, sometimes singing to them or tickling them along the way and then we send them off to play.As such a mom, I’m treating each Vulgar Buzz Original (VBO) as a child with a dirty diaper. I’m not bothered much by its stench and refuse to ignore the child because it is smelly or in this case, uttering crass vulgarities under dire duress. By the way, VBOs are also known as WWMSU's (What Would Michelle Say in Utero?) to honor our often referenced and Darling Derry Girl.
Too often a pregnancy is seen as the woman's problem; as something she is responsible for 'fixing'. Hell cannot burn hot enough for men with this attitude. Killing a vulnerable human is not the solution of course, (as I know all too well) but self-absorbed men (and sometimes women) can rarely see this.
In this incredibly difficult situation, much pressure and responsibility is put on the woman who feels terribly alone and vulnerable. Such things ought not to be. I am thankful that there are resources around the globe for women who wish to leave such men to protect their child and go in search of richer fare.
The Clean Diaper (WWFFS #32)
It was pretty easy to find the image used by The Vulgar Buzz and then copy the style with InDesign to make the more civil language version above. It isn't important which image helps a person make a better choice, it only matters that the message hits home before it is too late for the most vulnerable humans in the world.
