Like actress Sally Field, I am a mom. Unlike Sally Field, I do not live in La-La Land. We breathe a different brand of oxygen. We hold diametrically opposed worldviews. We have nothing in common but stretch marks.
Contrary to tongue-tied Sally's incoherent Primetime Emmy Awards diatribe, childbearing and childrearing experiences do not bond all women in a universal sorority of nonconfrontation. There are sheep moms. There are lion moms. We know which kind Sally Field is.
"If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, there would be no [expletive] wars in the first place," Miss Field bleated. In the Gidget Guide to Parenting, mothers are appeasers and hand-holders. Our maternal instincts supposedly lead us to shun fights and coddle bullies instead of disciplining them. There would be "no [expletive] wars," Silly Sally, because we'd all be conquered chattel if Field Diplomacy "ruled the world."
Motherhood and peacemaking are not synonymous. Motherhood requires ferocity, the will and resolve to protect one's own children at all costs, and a lifelong commitment to sacrifice for a family's betterment and survival. Conflict avoidance is incompatible with good mothering.
On the playground of life, Sally Field is the mom who looks the other way when the brat on the elementary school slide pushes your son to the ground or throws dirt in your daughter's face. She's the mom who holds her tongue at the mall when thugs spew profanities and make crude gestures in front of her brood. She's the mom who tells her child never to point out when a teacher gets her facts wrong.

Hey Gidget, tell it to Gorgo. “Only a Spartan woman can give birth to a man.” “Come back with your shield, or ON it!”
For some reason, this sentence makes me think of OJ Simpson. I'm not really sure why ... :^)
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but wasn’t she the actress in “Not Without My Daughter”? You’d think she’d have a CLUE, just from that!
Liberals are a people who spend their lives desperately seeking a truth they passionately deny exists.

LOL. He’ll find the killer. He will! Maybe the killer and he will share a prison cell if he is convicted for armed robbery.
I’m surprised at Sally Field’s rant. Another H’weird saranwrap.
Her 5 minutes of fame has faded already and she made a complete fool of herself in front of thousands of folk. Now she is the laughing stock in the nation! WHAT A dumb rat moron!
As an actress...I’m surprised she could not remember those “oh so precious few lines” that she worked so hard to memorize. Instead she made an ass of herself while trying
As for how she looked...someone on one of the entertainment shows asked: “Does this look like a 60 year old woman?” My answer is yes, but...a 60 year old woman who has had botox. Plain and simple and yes, it is her choice to do so. It’s just that they go on TV and pretend to look so YOUNG and GRAND. Well, that’s what botox or face lifts or plastic surgery or whatever they call it these days does for you. Those folks need to get real.
Lion mom is the RIGHT KIND OF MOM and...thank God for them.
Wha-Wha-WHAT?!?!?!
What really drives me crazy is that these people have no problems with abortion on demand. They don’t believe in the death penalty but it’s ok for millions of babies to die. They deserve no respect because they are two faced monsters.
A challenge for Sally: sit down with the mother of a radical Islamic suicide bomber and convince her that her beloved son really doesn’t go to heaven and get 72 virgins when he blows himself up and kills innocent people in the process.
LOL!
“Mama, Vlad did a stunt! He’s bleeding!”
I agree, and Sally Field is an embarrassment to Gidgets everywhere!! She has proved that she is not longer worthy of being called Gidget!!!
” ...she is not longer worthy of being called Gidget!!!”
How about “Mental Midget Gidget”?
Lasses with brains are SO much more fun to have in the neighborhood.
Maybe we should start calling her Fidget! feminist midget LOL
