BLERGH.
Totally not afraid to admit that it pisses me off that pregnant women get so much attention. “You’re glowing, you look so beautiful, there is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman…” blah blah blah. I think I look pretty good, thanks. And look, not pregnant.
Is it that men think pregnant women look so beautiful because they’re “glowing” with their submission to carry their partner’s spawn? Seriously, I think there’s some kind of biological/evolutionary basis to that.
And the idea of saying “there’s nothing more beautiful and feminine than a pregnant woman” just makes me sad for ALL moms because that means they’ll never be as beautiful or feminine again. Or until their next pregnancy. Or that I, a person who at the moment doesn’t see herself having kids, will never reach that level of “beauty.”
OK, had to get it out. Thanks. I feel better now.
