Our culture needs to find a robust image of female success that is first, not male, and second, not a white woman on the phone, holding a crying baby.
由此看来,我们的文化需要为成功的女性找到一个固有的形象。首先,她不是女人脸男人身;其次,她不是一手拿着电话、一手搂着啼哭婴儿的白种女人。
In fact, these "bad mother with a briefcase" images are so prevalent
事实上,这类“拿着公文包的差劲母亲”的形象在我们的文化中相当根深蒂固,
that writer Jessica Valenti collected them in a funny and poignant blog post called "Sad White Babies with Mean Feminist Mommies."

Then I told myself it didn't matter.
我安慰自己说不要在意这些恶意的评价,
Then everyone else told me it didn't matter — which only reminded me that they were reading these awful comments too.
每个人也都告诉我不要在意——然而这只是提醒我他们也读到了这些可怕的评论。
