Why do folks assume Miss Jenner doesn’t want it? It’s super fucking easy to not have a kid. She’s pregnant cuz she wants to be. This whole thread is pissing me off.

As a woman trying to conceive in my 30s... I expect the Duggar people to be pregnant. Constantly. I don’t know who the teen moms are but they had less money I’m assuming then Kylie, maybe less access to BCP, etc. Kylie was having plastic surgery before her 18th birthday. Something about her having a kid just…
I feel like what you’re describing is a social media problem too. I feel like garbage when all my friends are posting about their awesome jobs, buying a house, and having babies and I’m still trying to finish school and figure out what I want to do. I can’t imagine how much it must suck if I were also trying to have a…
The way I read the quote, I interpreted it as Dunham also kind of thinking her friends were being silly for being “triggered.” I don’t know I read it as kind of tongue in cheek, I don’t think she actually means legitimately triggered. But who knows. *throws up hands*
I do not in anyway endorse or appreciate this awful family, but it’s not like a fascination with talentless socialites (female and male) is anything new in American society, or pretty much any Western society.
Lena Dunham just has the most uncanny ability to say reasonable things in the most unreasonable, offensive and stupid possible way. It is her special gift.
Tbph, I didn’t think “triggered” in the way most people here are taking it; I read it the same way I would “my sister’s engagement triggered an avalanche of texts from my family.” I’m not convinced I’m right, though.
I once found a friend in tears because she’d seen a friend’s pregnancy announcement on Facebook and she had thought she’d be next. I think it felt like failure to her. She was putting too much pressure on herself and all the FBcongrats to her friend were overwhelming. I think this is what Lena is trying to say but…
I think she phrased it in a purposefully unhelpful way, but I believe she wasn’t trying to say Kylie did anything wrong, she was trying to say, “I’m in my 30s and everyone I know is trying to get pregnant and can’t and blamed themselves when someone famous got pregnant real easy, but actually most of us could have…
Many women do get depressed and don’t want to leave the house when they are dealing with infertility. For the exact reason you mention. Going to the park or grocery store becomes a reminder that your body is betraying you on a monthly basis. It sucks.
Eh, I know what she meant. I’ve had a couple of miscarriages and a shitload of IVF and have no babies to show for any of it. I personally don’t find other people’s pregnancies and pregnancy announcements as difficult to deal with* as many of my online infertility acquaintances do, but yeah, many people struggling with…
Yep! If I wasn’t in the “two week wait” right now I’d be having a bottle of wine over this news.
As someone who is currently trying to get pregs and is currently very. much. not. pregs, I COSIGN EVERYTHING IN THIS! It seems like everywhere I turn, every goddamn person is knocked up or has just popped one out within the last 2 months. One woman had TWO STROLLERS. I’m very happy for her but I also want to claw…
I live in the Bay Area, I’m over 35, married, have a stable career, and still can’t afford to have a kid. Kylie is 20 and just beat me to it- so I get it.
it’s crazy how easy it is to get pregnant when you don’t want it and how hard it is to get pregnant when you do want it
It has always made me feel like a bad feminist, but I’ve always kinda actively disliked Dunham. She seems like such a shit stirrer to me.
When you are purposely trying to get pregnant, seeing other folks get pregnant without trying fucks with your head. Because purposely getting pregnant can take some work. You take fertility tests everyday to see when the optimal time to fuck is, you have to purposely reduce your anxiety levels and that just reminds…
Any NFL player with an ounce of moral fiber needs to protest in solidarity with Kaep. The very same flag that Kaep is kneeling against is draped behind this megalomaniac, senile racist as he cheerleads for billionaire owners to fire their black employees for protesting social injustices.
Shouldn’t the 49ers’ stadium be full every game now that Kaepernick is off the team?
Oh PLEASE, assholes. PLEASE leave when someone kneels for the anthem. Games will be so much better without you.
