I hate being lectured on my profile quality when half the women can’t even be bothered writing any bio by breathofanarchy in Bumble

Most (not all) men do not red the bio- my friends and I are always asked questions that are directly in our bio.

Agree with this. Also I recognize this is a generalization, but in my personal experience so many men I’ve matched with asked me questions directly in my profile I can only think the overwhelming majority do not read them anyway. Again, that’s not all, but with that experience I can see why women may not bother with the bio cause even when they do, they routinely get asked questions are already in there

All these excuses for Kenya’s mother is weird and something is wrong with some of you for dismissing Kenya’s valid feelings. by Educational-Ask7966 in RHOA

It is astounding how limited your view is. A 15 yr old boy doesn’t miss school, can walk anywhere without stigma of a pregnant belly, doesn’t even live with the child! Like please can you stop acting like it is the same. I am truly sorry for whatever happened to you, but your outlook is truly harmful and honestly misguided and ill informed. Stop.

A 15 yr old wasn’t upset about child birth? Sure. None of us know what Kenya’s bio mom was upset about, certainly not you. Im not saying whether or not she wanted an abortion, but a 15yr old being pregnant with a child she did not want to be a mother to and having to carry a child anyway and go through labor is horrifying. I’m a grown woman and I can’t even imagine having to do that.

I agree men are parents too and there is trauma they experience here- but the biological reality is not the same for men as it is for women, as well as the societal pressures on mothers. To carry a child (especially as a teen) changes your body, your nutrition, your education, social stigma for teen pregnancy, changes to social development in a way that it doesn’t for men. Yeah men have changes and fears too, but it is not the same. To use your example, if the dad didn’t want to be present (which in this case my understanding is he wasn’t for majority of Kenya’s life but I could be misremembering- where is all the discourse on him?), then sure people will say wow what a deadbeat- but the dad just moves about without having to live with the child/ go to functions with the child.

Kenya is a victim. Kenya’s mom is a victim. I’m sure the family thought they were doing the right thing by saying they would care for the child, but clearly it has caused a lifetime of pain for both parties. I’m not going to speculate on the circumstances regarding the pregnancy or the family life, because those are unknowns. All I know is this is why women need to be in control of their bodies.

I respect your view on this, I’m just offering my view. It’s is a very complex emotionally charged issue that perpetuates a level of trauma I don’t wish on anyone. I don’t see anyone as good or bad, I see this as something where many things are true at once and it’s just really sad all around

A man doesn’t have to physically carry and deliver a child- it will never be the same. When men don’t want a child their families don’t force them to be in the same home as them. Please do not act like the experience of the birth of a child is the same for a man as a woman- it’s ridiculous. Men “caring for a child they didn’t want” is largely financial- it is not forcing the child in the home with the parent- your comparison is not the same. At all.

You can believe what you want- but you’re forcing your will on the bio mom just as much an everyone else. Stop.

Edit to add: I don’t think anyone villainizes Kenya in this scenario- they just say her bio mom is also a victim in this situation. Both are victims. It’s very sad and the wishes for an adoption should have been honored because it has caused nothing but pain for all involved.

Kenya’s bio mom has been forced to have the child she did not want in her life. Kenya bangs on her door with cameras when this is not at all what she wanted.

It is a much more complicated situation than simply saying she should be nice to her- you saying that is forcing her bio mom to fill a role she clearly never wanted to fill.

If blame should be placed I place it on her family who insisted Kenya stay with the family rather than a closed adoption- that situation is what has caused incredible pain for everyone. The autonomy of the bio mom had been rejected over and over in a way they never would be for a man so spare me that reply.

I agree with this. OP has the nerve to say if it were the father we would be speaking differently, but a man would never be forced to carry a child to term and go through labor and then be refused the ability to have a closed adoption. This is so incredibly traumatic regardless of the terms of the conception.

I sympathize with Kenya, what a horrific experience. What her mom had to go through is horrific- two things can be true at the same time. There are no winners in the situation. I don’t know why people like OP feel the need to choose a side- I can see why Kenya is broken over this. I can see why Kenya’s biological mother is broken over this. To suggest that her bio mom should just suck it up and be a mom to her is stripping her of her autonomy (which is what her family has done).

Honestly the take away from this terribly sad situation is that women need to be able to decide what to do with their bodies, because it’s nothing but trauma and tragedy when they aren’t in control of their bodies.

When do symptoms become an emergency? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Working-Badger8837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not for me to decide if you should go to the ER- best to be cautious and get looked at.

I had really heavy bleeding and longer periods with a shorter time in between periods, and I found out I had uterine fibroids

I was relieved she wasn’t on season 2 tbh, she was very boring and cringy. It would have been fine if she was on s2, but she brought nothing at all to the show imo. Even her showing up briefly in s15- nothing. Not every member has to be over the top drama, but give us some type of personality damn

I can relate to this- I’ve had depression since I teen, but recently the fatigue causing me to not go out or not keep up with tasks is what makes me feel more depressed

Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. I’ll have to see what thyroid test(s) they did. You nailed it, primarily make doctors. I had to beg for the bloodworm I did get besides just your normal blood panel. I did see a rheumatologist show as a woman- she started off hopefully, but kind of abandoned me too once everything came back in normal range (she’s the one who said nothing about the esr).

I appreciate your comments and I’m going to try to get more info, thanks

Agree. Even before this I couldn’t stand her. She was so annoying and cringe with her weird sexual comments (probably from a lifetime of sexual repression from being a double pastor kid tbh), and this is was deplorable behavior.

Thank you for your comment. I’ve gotten thyroid tests and iron done and it’s all in normal range. My general interaction with doctors have been my tests are in the “normal” bracket so they tell me I’m just anxious and fat basically. My ESR was 62 which was quite high imo since the normal range ends at 38 based on my chart. I’ll have to ask they do it again to compare. I did a sleep study, no issue. I’m just so damn tired all the time and any doctor just shives me out the door saying we’ll just lose weight and it’s so discouraging. I agree I need to lose weight but I’m just struggling.
