Didn't the cdc actually say that if you engage in risky behavior like getting wasted and foolin around then you should be on birth control in order to avoid alcoholic babies?

That's slightly more intrusive than just highlighting the risk.

Everything about medicine is intrusive, that's the way it works. It's also sound medical advice.

Really? Because it seems to me like they are basically saying the equivalent of 'people who play football often get injured, please wear pads while playing if you would like to minimize risk of injury.'

It's not like they're not saying don't play, they're just saying stay safe out there.

I know next to nothing about birth control but I do know that some women get messed up when they take it? Maybe they're the ones taking umbrage at the cdc saying party women should be on birth control.

That's not a good metaphor for this situation but it's also not an ideal situation to begin with. I dunno why women keep babies in this day and age unless they're trying to start a family, something you're probably not shooting for if you're still out drinking and loving

Yeah some women don't handle BC very well and sometimes its hormonal effects can end up being a greater hassle than they are worth. On that note, many women take the pill to handle heavy periods + cramping and poo poo so that's why idiots who call women on the pill sluts are idiots!

Still though you might as well be mad at people telling you to wear a condom while loving because STDs.

I need feminism because I can't give up my wine for any amount of time

And BY THE WAY wine has ANTIOXIDANTS which can prevent CANCER so I think I'm justified in drinking while pregnant.

It's like, you should take an ibuprofen after a night of drinking before you lay down, to avoid a bad hangover. You don't have to, but the consequences will be harder to deal with if you don't.

Normally I'd just assume the OP was speaking ironically but based on past discussions with OP there's an actual possibility that they're being sincere and actually believe the CDC is being sexist by stating facts.

While i originally intended this thread to be a joke it obviously wasn't funny so who cares; i'll be a bit serious. The beef people had with the anouncement isn't so much victim shaming as the misguided notion that the cdc and mayo clinic were attempting to police women's bodies and behavior by discussing the rise in fetal alcohol syndrome and ways to avoid it. The cdc basically said "hey if you're having risky sex and drinking heavily you might get a disabled baby, there's beens been a spike in cases of this and we should try to avoid it" and then the same kind of people who think doctors telling you to lose weight is sexist bodyshaming got angry about the cdc "judging" their behavior.

I personally thought this was so ridiculous it was funny, but instead it just made for a bad thread and i should feel bad.

Lol how tight was your butthole holding in the urge to make a long stupid post with your worthless opinion

I appreciate your effort, Arbitrary C. I suspect it just went bad because you weren't clear in your initial opinion bringing you fire from people who both believe the babble about the CDC is stupid as gently caress and attribute it to you and the people who don't like their fucktarded opinions being discussed and/or mocked outside of their circles where they are in unified agreement that preventing disability is racist, sexist, ableist and/or kinkshaming.

I honestly had a hard time telling whether people were mad because they thought I sincerely believed the op or because I was obviously making fun of people who do.

Just a humble wandering street philosopher.
It is amazing that none of the news coverage of this emphasized that the CDC found significant drinkage among people who were at the time trying to conceive. Similarly, there was no mention of the idea that the proper response to discovering that you're pregnant with a FAS-cist is to abort and try again with less drinking. Blame CNN, not the CDC.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




can i just say like telling people not to smoke or drink alcohol while they’re pregnant is ableist and classist as gently caress and it needs to stop

first off the majority of smokers/substance abusers are from disadvantaged and poor backgrounds or are struggling with mental health issues and they use it as a coping method so to tell them theyre a bad person for doing that is both classist and ableist

the main argument against it is that your child will come out disabled but honestly if that happens so what??? whats wrong with that??? this whole mindset has deep loving roots in ableist thought process and im loving sick of it. like. why do you hate people with disabilities lol

Recently they released a warning that abusing substances while having unprotected sex could lead to babies with birth defects. Compounding this violation of women autonomy, the mayo clinic supported the patriarchy by pointing out binge drinking didn't couple well with behavior that led to accidental pregnancy, citing such misogynistic stats as a rise in fetal alcohol syndrome.

What do you think about health professional's war on women?

I think you'll find they are actually misandrist, because they think only women can be mothers
