Re: Too tired to be much entertainment tonight

[(Anonymous)]

While the immediate premise is pretty clickbaity and sets up for outrage, the article does lay out the real issue:

There isn't evidence that light-to-moderate drinking causes any birth defects or foetal alcohol syndrome. It HAS been blown out of proportion. There is a link between frequent and heavy drinking and foetal alcohol syndrome, but not moderate drinking.

So, with that in mind, there IS a fair argument here. Pregnant women are demanded to be paragons of virtue and being pregnant or having a baby already sets you up to receive unwanted judgment, unsolicited advice, and general asshole behavior from others. While on one hand, I think when it comes to kids, their well-being takes far priority over a mother or father's feelings, and I'm not down with "bad mom/dad" culture, I think it's a good point to bring up that we don't need to constantly fling shit on mothers if they occasionally want to relax and have a drink - or whatever - if there is no evidence that it's going to harm their baby.

So yeah, I am comfortable saying that there is sexism involved in the judgment of pregnant women or mothers with newborns. And again, I agree that the baby's safety and well-being takes priority, and it is despicable to jeopardize that. But generally speaking, we could do well with being a lot less judgey toward pregnant women/new mothers.
