I am four months pregnant and, while I don’t feel remotely maternal yet, this will be a precious and much loved child. I have reached the point at which it will soon be possible to know the gender and so, wherever I go, people ask: “Will you find out if it’s a girl or a boy?”
Last week a friendly young sales assistant asked me just that as I trawled clothing racks looking for elastic waisted pants. I said “no” and added that I had not had the test for Down’s syndrome either because if I had found that my child was at risk, I would not have wanted to abort. “That’s the real question,” I said, “the one that people really should ask about.”
As I've already commented on there, the fact that she doesn't seem to realise that that is a totally
f**king bat**** mental thing to say to a polite enquiry about her baby is the real issue here :hehe:
It's one of the most stupid articles I've ever read
"Do you know what you're having yet"
"No, nor do I know if it'll be ginger, have a cleft palate or inclinations to be trans"
:hehe: it's bat**** mental
Mate, it's not even in the top ten of stupidest Comment Is Free articles ever.
There was the one recently about how white people barbecuing was racist, for starters. Or pretty much anything by Jessica Valenti.
