Less is not more: MORE IS MORE! That's why we call it more, bitches!

Aha, it's the old "We're allowed to be bigoted towards you, because you're Deliberately Just Doing It For Attention" trick! And the old "Bigotry towards LGBT is totes wrong, but you can't get angry when we act bigoted towards you" trick, too!

No! A friend dropped by the other day, and she was on the phone half the time. Why did she come to see me if she is just going to spend her time texting with a girl she used to work with? What is the point? Go see her if she is the person you want to talk to!

if women who have never been pregnant don't realize that women who are/have been pregnant are the same, and vice versa, I honestly do think they should just go fuck off somewhere

I have no idea, but Mommy Wars are BULLSHIT.

Carry a 18-lb infant who can't sit up on her own in a 10-lb carseat and juggle groceries, while dealing with a herniated disc (caused in part to the weakened core muscles one has after pregnancy), then tell me we shouldn't have a somewhat closer parking spot. Which, by the way, is further away than the handicapped

I wish I could star this more. Pregnancy is a natural and normal thing that can cause extreme issues that prevent people from going about their normal lives. Pregnancy has always been like this and will always been like this. Thanks to modern medicine, many women and babies survive when in the past the issues you

Not even bothering with this. Except to ask you where you think your customers will come from in 25 years if ladies "don't" "make" the "choice" to have "kids".

Getting pregnant is not "stomping" on your co workers, that's insane. You mention multiple times you don't know the details of her pregnancy (maybe this was her last chance? maybe it was an accident?) so who the hell are you to judge her? You also mention that she has been working along with the rest of you to get

Wow, some of these comments are extremely difficult to read, as a working woman who's currently trying to conceive. I mean, if some feminists are saying every pregnant woman they've worked with for the last 20 years have been terrible to deal with, that pregnant women have special snowflake syndrome and are accusing

She knows here you can't fire a pregnant woman, so she is using it like crazy.

If I can do it, you can do it

I joke out of exasperation. I just think it's absurd that people feel the need to police others. I had a severely disabled cousin who needed it always and you still get crazy shit. My original point in another post was how if people really feel cheated by handicap/pregancy/new mother parking, then they need to

Raising a child isn't a sabbatical. Thanks.

The saint bit is something you brought yourself to the reading. I don't think you'll find anything about saints in what I wrote. And I can't speak for others, but I looked for absolutely nothing, in terms of who the kid would be, when I had one. You have no idea who people will turn out to be. Certainly I didn't do

So because people are being jerks to you for your choice, you will turn around and be a jerk to other people for their choice. I don't want kids either and I deal with some shit because of it, but seriously—shitting on other women is not the way to correct this.

No one plans the month they'll get pregnant. It just doesn't work like that.

Well, come back and call it bullshit after you've spent most of a year bent over teaching someone else to walk. Or five years wiping someone else's ass multiple times a day. Or getting up and doing things for other people for three hours before you get so much as a cup of coffee. It might piss you off, but this is how

This is great. I'd like to add that everyone needs to BE FLEXIBLE in case things change dramatically AFTER baby. I feel like a wimp telling my story from the cushy world of academia, but it illustrates my point.

Let me put this more strongly: If you're out there pissing about pregnant colleagues, you've been brainwashed and taught to piss like furious men on the women who, in general, do more for other people than anyone else in the world does, usually without pay or promise of any security. And the terrible thing is that as
