Glennon Doyle Melton is a Christian author known for her popular blog Momastery, her Oprah-approved book Love Warrior, and now, her relationship with soccer star Abby Wambach. Doyle announced the new relationship on Facebook and Instagram this week, and her lengthy and heart warming post can be summed up by its unofficial title, "Love Wins."
Doyle Melton, who expected a bit of backlash from her community regarding her new relationship, instead was met with support and praise. But that's not what's on her mind right now. She is more concerned with The Washington Post's story which dubbed her a "mom blogger." Doyle Melton and her followers aren't too keen on this sexist title.
If a man wrote a #1 NYT bestseller and ran a non profit that's raised $5 million - would media call him a daddy blogger?Asking for friend.

In response to the "mommy blogger" comments, let's not forget the most quotable part of Doyle Melton's post: "the most revolutionary thing a woman can do is not explain herself."
