Adele, the 27-year old pop star who regards herself first and foremost as a mom, is surely not the only mom who has such a life-changing experience after the birth of her child. But, for some reason, this led Strauss to come up with the article title of “Adele Tries Squaring Feminism With Finding Purpose in Motherhood.” The only one trying to do any “squaring” though seems to be Strauss.

Slate’s tweet of the article was even more poorly worded, and poorly received. Virtually all of the responses to it were against this view of seeing it as an “uh oh.”

Not only does Strauss appear to be enforcing her idea of feminism, but she is naive. Stardom doesn’t make one confident or have purpose, and just because someone may seem to have everything together, doesn’t mean they actually do.

Strauss can’t seem to grasp that though, as she writes:

What’s “bold” about it? What’s “potentially controversial?” For most people, it’s not. It’s the natural side effect of being a mother.

Ultimately, Strauss does give Adele credit, in her two closing paragraphs. She even calls Adele’s message “refreshing.” Nevertheless, Strauss’ good points are likely lost for good in the idiocy of such a title and even more so that tweet.

Mollie Hemingway, of the Federalist, who is a mom, echoed Adele’s idea of purpose in motherhood. She highlighted Strauss’ piece with her own of “Oh No! Feminists Worried That Adele Finds Purpose in Motherhood.” She also mentioned it’s not just Slate, but also Mirror Celeb, who categorized the Vogue piece as how Adele “admits” that sense of “purpose.”

Strauss may have further cause for embarrassment. Cosmopolitan and the Huffington Post, both cohorts in the liberal and feminist media outlet world, wrote glowing pieces about Adele’s interview.
