I think any essentialising stuff kind of went over my head after the egregious class and race fail, to be honest - I'm sure it's there, but maybe I have a slightly higher tolerance for it in stuff talking about giving birth. (Which doesn't mean it's OK there, just that I'm socially conditioned to give it a bit more of a pass than I otherwise might.)
I adore Peter Wimsey and am currently on a massive 'read all the books' jag. I can think of worse things.
It will be interesting to see what the Marmoset's name will be... Personally I'm obviously rooting for Søren if it's a boy - and since hardly anybody in the UK knows that name or the gendering of that name also Søren if it's a girl! ;-)
(Mind you, life will probably be easier for the Marmoset if you DON'T choose that name...)
As for "birthing"... Well, a man can't really have an informed opinion on that matter! I'm pretty sure you'll do a stellar job, at it, though. And breathing can never be a bad thing...
I love how imminently-Marmosety this whole list is - not just the obviously baby-related items, but the pleasure-reading of the rest of it, too. Go you!
I am disappointed to learn that you haven't installed windows in your womb, though... :-(

But I love Murder Must Advertise! I love things set in the 1930s. They're so obsessed with modernity and modern in so many surprising ways.
