Super annoyed by the posts on the womens studies list serve about subsidizing diapers to enable poor women to work. Lots of unchecked privilege. I couldnt help myself and had to respond. As much as I advocate for cloth, I also advocate for choice. Cloth diapering requires time, washing machines, and CLEAN water; otherwise, you go to a laundromat, if you have a car (and hopefully someone to watch your kids while you wash). Some child care facilities require disposable diapers. Disposables are easier to find and less bulky, which is important if you ride the bus. For some, they are less stigmatizing. Im not as interested in the debate about whether or not we should be funding this, as much as I am about the discourse around womens choice to diaper the way they wish.
