Pietà Party (Of One)

Recently a tweet by art Historian Dr. Katherine Schofield made the rounds on Twitter where she stated “You don’t get Michelangelo’s Pieta until you have a child, and then you can’t bear to look at it.”  She was roundly dragged for her bad take and the responses and comments are priceless.  Most point out the Michelangelo had no children and likely gay. 

At the heart of her argument is something CF people have been actively or passively subjected to for a long time:  The idea that a parent’s love for a child is the supreme expression of love between humans and CF people will never be able to comprehend this emotion without experiencing it.  Lee and Tyger explain why this is dumb.
