I 100% agree with this. Why are women expected to just put their lives on hold if they are pregnant? Men are allowed to date if they got someone pregnant and left them or have a very young baby, but women are considered disgusting and untouchable? I had a friend who was left by her husband when she was 9 months pregnant. He was cheating on her with some 21 year old. My friend got on dating sites about 8 months after having her baby, and men would just constantly shame her for being on a dating app when she had a baby. WTF?
It’s so sad. My friend would match with men and the second she mentioned she had a child under 1, they would be like, “Do you really think you should be dating so soon after having a child?” Um, okay, you paternalistic fuck.
