Finger pubes
Bitter much? The post was about bringing in the Mangagement ring. I said that my husband and I already did it. Also, way to assume that we'll conform to gender stereotypes. We are not planning on having children. Honestly, I was not expecting sexism on a feminist site.
This coat! It is so Derelicte!
That coat is SOOOO derelicte.
I'm not saying you're shaming them for being infertile. Instead, you're accusing them of being defensive because they lack of awareness of their own privilege. Do you really think that's why I/we feel defensive?
I think we're mostly on the same page, but one of your comments still hits a nerve for me, and that is when you hold up the straw man of the executive woman who simply couldn't care/be bothered to have kids and now turns to IVF. I'm not sure how many of these characatures exist in real life, and if they do exist, I'm…
No hate, but why on earth do people assume adoption is analogous to IVF or other forms of natural childbirth? I'm not going to discuss the incredible cost, difficulty and potential for heartbreak in the bureaucratic process since everyone else has done that already. I'm just saying: it's apples and oranges. An adopted…
It's very unwittingly trolly and undermines reproductive choices, which rubs me the wrong way, especially when I hear it in chorus. This wasn't confusion it was judgmental and demonstrated no regard for what many people actually go through. There's also very much a high-and-mighty tone from someone who has never been…
Maybe hold off on giving others "advice" on their reproductive choices until you have had real experience. Seriously, it's not too different than men giving "advice" to women about birth control and abortion. If you haven't experienced infertility, then shut up and sit down.
As someone who experienced infertility and underwent treatments to help me conceive, I did not realize I was shirking my responsibility to adopt. I guess all the people who are fortunate to have babies the easy way can keep on doing that while people who suffer from infertility can be shamed into adopting whether or…
Oh my god, now I really want you to write, because your bullet-point story made me well up!
Thank you. I'm 31, and my husband and I have been trying for a baby since I was 26. We recently found out it'll probably never happen due to a traumatic injury he suffered as a child. His doctor suggested IVF. We can't afford it. We can't afford adoption either. The grief is crushing. The sensation that my remaining…
Second every word of this.
I was you. Then I dealt with infertility for five years and learned the reality of "just adopt". Do you actually think that I enjoyed years, upon years of invasive and humiliating tests and procedures? Do you think I was so excited for every minute of every kind of hormone that got pumped into me? I sure did love the…
I think that it's great that IVF can help so many families have the family they are seeking. However, I always get a little nervous when I see comments like "I can definitely wait to have kids because of IVF." Sure, for many people that is true. However, I am 33 and I have had absolutely no response to the IVF…
For those of you who are jumping on this to ask why people don't just adopt...
I love this comment so much I want to take it behind the school and get it pregnant. Except I can't because...infertility.
Do you judge all biological parents for not adopting, or only those with infertility?
If you judge people for using IVF, at minimum, you are a jerk.
