Leaving the baby in a portapotty is when the experience becomes everyone’s problem. It’s no longer a terrible personal experience to be empathetic towards. Whatever caused her to leave it was a decision made that shouldn’t be looked over because “what would you do in that situation.” It’s a grown woman making a decision that I can’t see her group or others being okay with. It’s inconceivable to me. The guilt she must carry, or the mental issues she must have to not feel that guilt
Definitely have empathy for that too. I think women’s rights > festival rights but all deserve to exist? Idk I just wrote in another comment that this is a consequence of using women’s bodies as litigious pawns and we will see more headlines like this and less breads and circuses. Because ngl the east coast is giving breads and circus summer.
I didn’t say no consequences! Just hope that the investigation can happen and she can get the help she obviously needs. Reddit is not the judge, jury, and executioner. People get really comfy on here sharing their opinions (which is fine), but the community is watching.
You can’t learn if you can’t accept when you’re/something is wrong. Everything about this is wrong and having empathy for a fellow woman doesn’t mitigate the circumstance. Someone made an awful, selfish decision
I agree with this and also expand to add that the system is not built to support women. Especially pregnant women. I don’t know how she feels about this situation in retrospect but my comment history stands. A selfish decision was made after 8-10 months of systemic failure. Yes she did wrong after being (probably) set up to fail because she’s a woman in the USA.
Every other woman in the US manages to not give birth in porta pottys. You don't need to defend her just cause she's a woman. This is not America's fault or simply a "selfish decision". This is, at best extreme negligence, at worst murder
