Margot Robbie and unmarked motherhood

MONDAY ANALYSIS:

This week, a Courier-Mail headline caught our eye: “Margot Robbie, stop pretending you’re not a mum.” What happens when women in the public eye become mothers – but don’t show their kids on camera? With the justified push to take kids off camera, are we creating a world where the actual experience of motherhood is hidden from view as well?

Huge thanks to Pandora for making this episode of Shameless possible. Also, shout-out to Samsung!
