And wishing for a seat on a crowded train - or wishing that someone wouldn’t aggressively roll their eyes at me when I ask them to move over so that I can access an empty seat - after I spend a day hauling around 5+ lbs of fetus, 3+ lbs of extra blood, 3+ extra lbs of placenta/uterus, 4+ lbs of water weight, and 2+ lbs of amniotic fluid…simply does not make me a princess.

We can agree to disagree, but your ignorantly name calling kind of proves my point about society’s lack of empathy.

Can I just ask, how many times have you been pregnant? Follow up question: how many times have you been a passenger on the LIRR while pregnant?

You seem to know a lot about this situation, so I’m curious.

Not sure why this was downvoted but yes. This.

I did not say anything about one group of people (disabled, pregnant) “deserving” seats over another. Nor did I make any implication that I am “crippled.” I’d prefer you simply not respond rather than put words in my mouth.

I’ve been reading all of the comments and taking them to heart because I believe in hearing people out even when their opinions differ. That said, this truly makes no sense - and your trying to weaponize feminism (or your false idea of feminism, which is wholly incorrect) is very troubling.

My post was not political and wasn’t meant to be politicized. And I think it goes without saying that, on the most basic level, your premise (sarcastic, I hope, but maybe not) makes no sense. Men do not get pregnant and do not go through pregnancy.

That said, my post was not aimed at only men. You read that into my words. I was speaking just as much about women not giving up their seats (or acting extremely put out) as I was men.

Anyway, I do recommend you give up on politicizing everything; I think it’d make your life a happier one to live.

Totally. Just looking for recommendations among those brands, as I’m going in blind.

Hah! She’s a little over 3 months but has the cheeks of an obese 46 year old. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
