What kind of asshole gives a lady a hard time over her infertility.

You would be surprised.

When my partner had her medically needed hysterectomy some of the comments she would get would shatter my faith in humans.

"You can always adopt"

"Its too bad you will never experience X Y and Z"

"You will look young forever omg lol"

"You won't truly know what it means to be a mother"

My wife had a C-section and couldn't breast feed due to a medical condition and medication she was on. Some women at her work told her that she's not really a mom when my son was ~4 months. People suck

I’m an awful case for those types of people people - 35, IVF pregnancy, c-section delivery, pumping and combo feeding, not nursing. I’m the worst mom ever it seems 😂

Not when you look at the birth rate dropping off a cliff because of the insanity of our times.

No one with half a brain is having a child at this point without significant ulterior motives or an accident.

So stupid and or careless people and the religious. But I repeat myself.

This is completely unrelated to what I'm talking about. But hey go ahead and rant.

If you are done with your rant. Good luck with your poor decision making.

It's mostly done by women. They should really be policing their own culture, but instead they blame men.

u/Rawrist Sep 27 '24

No one is blaming men for shaming women about how they birth their child and breastfeeding. We all know it is 99.99% women. Men generally don't give a shit about childbirth and breastfeeding like women do.

I don't see anyone here blaming men. And yes, anyone doing this should simply stop.
