Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Yeah. That's the one that made me see rage.
Bialik is probably anti-vaccinations, too. 'cause you know, to die of a disease is just part of the evolutionary process.
"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.
"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.
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.
Wasn't the world awesome before modern medicine??
I want my flying car and small pox scars!
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.
"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."
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.
The fact that she brings it up, though, means she thinks there's merit. There is NO other reason for her to even mention it, the sanctimonious wrong-headed, insensitive bitch. (In the context of her conversation with the mother.)
