Re: Too tired to be much entertainment tonight
(Anonymous) 2017-05-25 12:06 am (UTC)(link)People discovered that serious alcoholics who spent all pregnancy wasted could cause fetal alcohol syndrome and since you can't really do controlled scientific testing on the exact amount needed to fuck up a fetus by taking large groups and going "Ok, you guys have 1 glass of wine a day, you have two, you have three, you have four.... and we'll see which group starts having fucked up babies" they just went with "Alcohol can cause fucked up babies (if you drink enough.)"
Which has turned into this hysteria that if a pregnant woman so much as looks at a bottle of wine it's going to mess up the fetus. Add to that there's always some study or another that a woman ate tacos on a Wed. and then had a fucked up baby and scientists are looking into a possible connection between tacos and fucked-upedness it's really exhausting to be pregnant and everyone in the damn world is as much an expert on What You Should Be Doing as they were suddenly gorilla experts during the zoo mess.
Re: Too tired to be much entertainment tonight
Also, what about other dice rolling? Smoking, for example? Smoking has the same issue, no proof of its affect on the unborn, should we not encourage pregnant women to give up smoking?
Hell we don't even need to stick with pregnancy, that just a particularly emotive example because there's babies involved, but people roll the dice on stupid shit all the time, should we not judge it? Like unprotected sex with strangers. You know it can be dangerous, but its not assured that if you do it you'll catch something nasty this time, but I net you would think someone was being stupid if the decided to take the risk?
Personally I'm more OK with that because they're risking themselves. I still thing its stupid, but people have the right to be stupid as long as they're only hurting themselves and are willing to face the consequences, but you see why its perfectly understandable to call a stupid risk stupid, right? And in the case of pregnancy, its not just a stupid decision that risks you, it risks another person - assuming you decide to carry the baby. Saying "Judging my stupid risk that could harm so one else is sexist so you don't have the right to do it" is a massive misuse of the concept of sexism.
