Aibu to think that this has no place on national news?
Currently watching ITV news and they've just done a piece on Rihanna at the Super Bowl, during which they showed no actual footage of her performance (only photographs) and said she's revealed her pregnancy.

I have nothing against Rihanna, on a personal level I'm pleased for her. ^But, what is the point of reporting on a performance without actually showing any of said performance and why is a singer's pregnancy on national news in Britain?

It's not like there's nothing else going on so they need to fill time with this vacuous shit. That's what tabloids are for!^

My intention was to state the obvious that women aren't called queens for dealing with every day life (maybe they should? Why don't we call nurses/paramedics/teachers queens while they work in first trimester?) The post I laughed at was ridiculous, if you feel it's offensive, not my problem.

I actually think that the people who use the word queen in this way would use this word to describe someone who did this? I think it also is supposed to denote something out of the ordinary, above and beyond achievement. A woman at work who has young children just won a big award, my colleague says to me, "did you hear about [name]? Queen".

Yes they did.

“I could barely get out of bed at 3 months pregnant.”
“LOL at this. Most women work, exercise, look after kids etc. in first trimester”

That was the statement and that was the response. What was said was said and the thread has gone from saying what she said isn’t nasty to trying to pretend it was never said at all.

Well… I think most women do go to work and look after their other kids and the house etc when pregnant don’t they…Why is it nasty to say that? It’s just stating a fact isn’t it? 🤔

Pp wasn’t referring to you personally.

OP you’re right, if I wanted to follow celebs I would do it on Instagram or something. I don’t need to hear about their pregnancies on the national news.

It’s not nasty to say that most people can do something. It’s nasty to “LOL” at those who can’t. Most people can do their timestables, most people can ride a bike, most people can run a mile, most people can eat dairy - it’s fine to point it out, it’s not fine to laugh at those who can’t. And it’s definitely rude, if someone is praising someone else for running a mile or learning their timetables, to try and “call them out” for their praise by pointing out most people can do it.

Yanbu op! It is not national news. I'm laughing at the people who don't get your point.

@LindorDoubleChoc I do get the OP’s point. They don’t think Rhiannas pregnancy is newsworthy. It’s not news in the traditional sense that politics, foreign affairs, economics might be. But it’s still news - it’s celebrity / popular news 🤷‍♀️
