    This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.

    It still happens today.

    I just had a baby. You’ve no idea how many times we were told “Good/Great Job Mom” after hearing the baby is healthy, and seeing it isn’t deformed.

    As if an illness would be my wife’s fault.

    We just left those on read. Like WTF?

      My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn’t produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It’s been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.

      Those types are in charge of policy right now.
