Wow, at least it's better than the "people who had c-sections never gave birth so are not mothers" belief. Still a ridiculous belief, though.
… what?
That’s actually an argument circulating around out there? Just when I thought the debate couldn’t get any lower.
MacDuff's mum will be fuckin ragin when she hears
Yeah, as per usual it's hard to tell when people are just trolling or if it's just completely made up, but I've seen it from screenshots of some particularly deranged "moms only" Facebook groups.
All I can do is shake my head at it. Someone carries a child to term, and opts for a manner of birth that was probably safer for their situation, and so the conservative party of family values decides they aren’t technically a mother. That is as dumb and insulting as it can get.
Yeah this is something that has been circulating right wing women's groups, conservative mom fora, trad wife fora, trad/conservative family channels on YT, etc.
Uhh, and in the 1600s. It's in MacBeth.
Yeah, cesarean birth has been around a long time. Our first real records of it being performed successfully to today's standards, both mother and child survive, came form the 1500s. Since then various different places, and cultures, have had different views on it. This one being on that floated with others.
Unbelievable / completely believable
C-section babies can say they were considered important enough to be extracted. (with implications to covert operations)
Not sure if it is actually better. They both seem to be equally horrible and incredibly stupid takes to me.
Hehe, perhaps. To me one seems to have more malice in it than the other, but I could just need some time to really warm up to despising Musk's statement equally.
