I don't agree with this at all. We want equality and to be treated as equals in society. To do so, we need to act like equals, not like simpering weak females.
Pregnancy and recovery can suck and are painful, fraught at times, and down right unpleasant. There's no denying that.
Pregnancy is ultimately a choice. Others should not have to suffer or be put out due to the choices we have made to be pregnant. I wouldn't ever dream of asking someone to move seats or stand on a train or tube. I can't possibly know whether their needs are greater than mine. And, if I found it difficult - I would stop doing it.
As with all things, if you're too unwell to do normal day to day activities, then obviously reasonable adjustments need to be made. But, never at someone else's expense.
I don't agree with the entitled behaviour coming from the op. Essentially, I don't fancy standing in a queue (who does?) Oh and I'm up the duff...and??? I want, I should have, I deserve etc
It's privilege seeking behaviour as well which just makes my skin crawl. We as a society have put things in place like family lanes, sen and disability assistance lanes etc because of the known issues that may be present. Because, you're pregnant and don't really fancy standing around for 30 mins waiting, shouldn't qualify you to use an assistance lane. Use to fast track if needed but fucking pay for it like the others have had to do.
Precious pregnant princesses, sometimes need a reality bitch slap from Ms Real World. This just reeks of entitled privilege. What about the men and women who have had to deal with pregnancy loss, loss of a child or infant death and illness. Should they not be better qualified to use the fast track lanes less they be triggered by pregnant women and children?
Where does it stop? I think greater sensitivity needs to be used. There are worse things in life than some swollen pregnancy ankles, while needing to wee so badly your back teeth are floating. Everyone just needs to use a little discretion and common sense.
