That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Oh, fuck her and the high horse she rode in on.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm referring to Balik's quote:

In an e-mail Bialik sends after our meeting, she goes back to my idea that some women weren't meant to have babies the holistic way. "There are those among us who believe that if the baby can't survive a home labor, it is OK for it to pass peacefully," she writes. "I do not subscribe to this, but I know that some feel that … if a baby cannot make it through birth, it is not favored evolutionarily."

I want to punch her in the face.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah. That's the one that made me see rage.

Our wings are not tired.

Bialik is probably anti-vaccinations, too. 'cause you know, to die of a disease is just part of the evolutionary process.

Because books.

"I do not subscribe to this, but I know that some feel that … if a baby cannot make it through birth, it is not favored evolutionarily."

Wow. Does that mean I cheated death because I couldn't make it through labor without a C-section and intervention the first time around?

And if it does, good for me. Screw evolution. Medical science has *evolved* for a reason.

You should, and if she can't run fast enough from all the fists flying at her face, it's because she wasn't favoured evolutionarily.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wasn't the world awesome before modern medicine??

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Those people? Are jerks. And they are becoming more and more numerous everyday within the culture of motherhood.

Or on the internets. I love the e-world, but its a highly effective megaphone for bullshit.

OK, she did say she didn't subscribe to this.

I mean, if she's lying, sure, go ahead and slug her. But don't just brain the messenger because you don't like the message.
