I loved Chappell's interview and watching it through I didn't even blink twice with this part of the conversation. Later in the week when I saw things online about the polarizing comment from the interview, my first thought was, "wait what did she say that I missed?" Realizing it was the motherhood comment made me go back and rewatch that section and I still don't understand how people are pissed – like you said, if her friends want to be upset they are the only ones who could be.
Maybe they should redirect this "angry energy" to being upset that not all mothers are in the same boat of being fulfilled/happy and try to create some change in our society for the betterment of ALL parents instead of attacking everyone online ??
Not having children myself I don't have many further thoughts on the matter but it sure makes me wary to have children if you can be attacked for literally any opinion on parenting !
(Also the memes about Elon wasting his money in Wisconsin and Wisconsin being like "um no" are just too good – that's the type of vibe we need!!!)
