PARIS - French feminists are taking aim at Justice Minister Rachida Dati who went back to work this week just five days after giving birth to a baby girl, saying she is setting a bad example.

Ping!
Toothy.
Feminists only have one refrain: women should have a choice ... but only if they make the PC choice.
I took law school finals about five days after giving birth. I did not feel fine. I still went. Right after that I attended classes for the next semester. Sometimes you do what you have to do.
If that’s her on the day in question, she looks like she’s doing quite fine. Good for her.

I guess the “bad example” was not taking sufficient advantage of France’s still generous health care and employment benefits.
She looks pretty hot!
Wearing high heels five days after a csection?
Wow, that woman is a superhero!
Dati is single and has not revealed the name of the baby’s father.
Lazy ass french pooffters.
Bless her. I doubt they would be complaining if she had an abortion. I am glad she kept her child and carried to term. Who cares how long a break she took.
