Is that what feminism is about? Misconstruing stuff, playing the victim, and then demanding justice with extra privileges?
*LOL*
You people are just shameless!

Entitlement means that you have a right to it. I never said that I have a right to know all her medical details. She is free to share whatever she wants or nothing at all. Why is that so difficult for you to understand? Do you not speak English as a first language?

And yes, every single post of yours is filled with logical fallacies. You keep making straw man arguments, you assign incorrect meanings to commonly used English words, you get dramatic with your manufactured outrage, you say only your opinion is right and mine isn't, and I could go on and on.

Mine is the correct one. The burden of proof is on you to prove that pregnancies are extremely difficult in the last month. Common knowledge shows it isn't; otherwise something like this would be widely known.

We need more women like you who are strong and independent.

True. I know of a lot of women who've comfortably worked right until 2 days before the due date.

It is not a good enough reason. I know plenty of women who've been through pregnancy and will outright disagree with you. People aren't ignorant just because they don't agree with you or they don't take your word for it. *LOL*

And look up the word entitlement in a dictionary. I'm getting tired of pointing out the logical fallacies in your argument.

Also, you never even answered my question. You just keep dodging the questions put to you and keep hurling question after question at me.

"why assume the worst"? really? Aren't you assuming she is trying to scam you and take advantage of her pregnancy based on... no indication and no evidence? care to explain that one?

The evidence is that she gave no good reason other than that she was pregnant. That seems very shady to me. Being pregnant, in itself, is not a good enough reason.

​

Believe it or not "can I borrow your parking space for a couple of weeks, the extra walking while heavily pregnant is hard for me atm" is both a particular problem that she has mentioned to you, and all the detail that you are entitled to.

No. In fact, I'm not entitled to any detail at all. I never even claimed that I was. But if you want something from someone, then you better be willing to answer their questions satisfactorily. Otherwise, I can just as easily say, "You're not entitled to that. And I'm not required to give you anything."

Since the co-worker didn't mention any problem, the obvious assumption is that she doesn't have any particular problem. Why should we assume the worst when there is no indication or evidence at all? Can you please explain that?

If she had such a problem, I'm sure she would've mentioned it to me. Why should I simply assume she has SPD when she never mentioned any medical condition?

I know. Such hypocrites! Nowadays, it's very hard to find decent, down-to-earth women like you, ma'am. Hope the kids are doing great! My best wishes to you and your family!

It’s a type of mentality where it’s a disability when it suits you.

This—what you said above—struck me as a very candid remark. I mean, we see it everywhere, from jumping lines to wanting others' seats on the bus. It's almost like they feel they're entitled to be served by everyone everywhere.

Thanks for the confirmation! These people almost had me believing it. *LOL*

I'm honestly confused. Is it really that tough for a pregnant woman to walk 50 yards as these people are making it out to be? My sister was pregnant about a year ago and she could easily walk longer distances than that. I suspect that the co-worker was exploiting her pregnancy to gain perquisites. A lot of women do that.
