Intimacy in Mommyland

So I can hear a woman talk about her menstrual cycle on QVC, and I can hear women talk about their mini-van names the Big White Tampon (BWT) on a blog. Apparently, a blog is a place it's ok to get up close and personal. At first glance, this makes sense, bloggers are often anonymous and can easy hide away in the corners of the internet without anyone ever knowing who they truly are, but Kate and Lydia, who started out writing just under pseudonyms, have now linked those names with their true identities and shared with the entire world the trials and tribulations of everything from their children's bowl movements to their pregnancy scares.

The language of intimacy has invaded Mommyland.
