That joke was far funnier to me once I'd lived in LA for awhile. It's actually terrific traffic advice. *grin*

I meant you've never been pregnant and can't appreciate the effect it has on your body and mind. *shrug*

I am so sorry. I just got mad at someone for doing the same thing to me so I'm a huge hypocrit to boot. I clearly misunderstood your comment. I'm clinically depressed myself and have a lot of empathy for the mother.
My apologies for commenting presumptiously, and I truly am so sorry for what you've experienced.

I'm glad you've never had a parent who was clinically depressed or perhaps suicidal, but you can't just snap out of it because your loved ones need you to be better than that, sadly.

Plus, she doesn't seem to be in debt, made more money at the two full time jobs she had previously and might have saved some, and may still get some funds from her parents.

Yeah, what is that all about?

Sigh. Telling a person who just made a post about a few reasons that not having access to her father's information was harmful that it was probably better for her that way ("mom made have been right") IS exactly what you did.

Take a gander at the aftershow on this episode and tell me what you think. Maybe she's changed?

Again, you seem to think that hormones, biology, and emotions have no effect on decisions. Also, that those things require condemnation. Calling it irrational indicates you think decisions are made by logic. Other than Spock, I know no one who truly is capable of that.

If that happened to you, I'm sorry, but I just said how much it hurt me and you didn't need to respond. You aren't me, and this is presumptuous as fuck. How dare you think you can ascertain what was better for me with almost no information. Ugh.

Ah well, we disagree.

I don't find her all that much like Hannah in the aftershows. She even talks about walking and moving differently as the character. Perhaps they were more alike once, but I don't actually think that was ever the case.

More upsetting for the baby actually. I say this as someone who has never met my biological father nor seen a photo of him. My mom assumed my life was better off without him. I resent her not getting at least a photo and more information in case I wanted to find him (which I really did want). In addition, being…

I thought her mom was a tenured professor? Doesn't make sense to give that up.

It's not easy, emotionally, for a lot of women to have an abortion even when they totally 100% believe in the right to do so. It can be, and evidentally is for Hannah, a choice she just can't make.
It's easy to call that selfish, but she's allowed to make that choice and once she has, hopefully, find those that…

I see no guilt. Ray still doesn't know that all her "exercise" was fucking Dezi and now "helping" him with rehab. She said "I'm not a bad person" because she believes it. I can't stand her.

Not my experience nor my perspective.

I would have the same complaint the other way around. I don't agree that it's okay for the men to not be fully realized just as I hate it when women are so rarely portrayed with nuance.
You don't care that this isn't realistic, but I do. It makes the series more melodramatic which saddens me since the female…

And you know this how? Clearly, two women chose to marry him and have children with him. Who are we to decide he's not worthy.

Heh. Thanks!
