Apparently the consensus here is if women reject motherhood they will have no joy in their life.

2. She's adopted one or two kids, I believe.
And she's a big contributor to Democrats, as per: http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Sharon_Stone.php

5. ...or three:
HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood beauty Sharon Stone has confirmed reports she has adopted a third son.
The Basic Instinct beauty, 48, is already adoptive mother to Roan Joseph, 6, and Laird Vonne, 15 months.

6. Saying that being a mother is the only way to bring joy into one's life
DOES NOT make someone garbage. That may just be the way that she feels about it.

Saying that the only way to bring joy into you life is by lying to start a war and then killing all kinds of innocent people would qualify one for the label 'garbage'.

8. Well, she's
certainly had a wide range of experiences to choose from - so if she feeling that being a mother is the only way to have joy in life, then who's to deny her that?

I'd have to see the whole quote. Maybe she was just talking about herself.

I've had a career, hobbies, travel, marriage and being a Mom to my two sons was a joyful experience. I don't know what that would be considered RW or a bad thing.

13. Oh grow up and get a clue before you attack someone.
There are far more deserving targets than Sharon Stone. I don't understand how you can be so offended if she's a happy mother. I don't even want kids ever, but I think it's great that she finds joy in her kids. It works for her.

And she's a liberal Dem, even if that bothers you.

15. She still does a lot of good in the world, so I'm not going to denounce
her from one statement that I disagree with. That's just ignorance and bigotry.

16. Oh Stop The Oozing Strawmen For God's Sake. The Fact Is That
Edited on Thu Sep-14-06 07:04 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
you are entitled to your opinion on the matter, but it is not shocking to find that many DU'ers don't think a happy mother saying that 'you don't know real joy until you have kids' or whatever is a big deal. It isn't a big deal. Course, that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it as well. I'm actually in agreement with her to a degree. I do think there is a certain joy that comes with having children that those without them could truly never understand. But so what? No need to get angry about it.

17. Really? On what do you base this?
You jumped all over Sharon Stone for something that she said. I don't even think she meant it like you interpreted it.

Now you are going to say you have a 'consensus' because a couple of people called you on this.
