[quote=Anonymous]I judge women that judge other women for having a glass of wine here and there when pregnant. First, these judgy women are not supporting the autonomy and rights of fellow women. We women are more than incubators. We have our own minds and lives, and can weigh relative risks and benefits for ourselves.  One person’s glass of slowly sipped wine may improve their happiness and cortisol levels as much as another person’s piece of chocolate, guilty pleasure tv show, walk in the park, etc. You don’t get to decide the worth of that glass of wine to that woman v. the (totally unproven) risks to her fetus.

Second, these women lack critical thinking skills and the ability to think logically. I bet the vast majority of those judgy women don’t judge themselves or others for other things that may present risks to a fetus, like being or mating with someone with certain genetic predispositions, being or mating with someone older, wearing makeup, living near a highway or having a long commute, eating too much sugar, driving in a car, spending time near lawns that have been sprayed with pesticides, going out in public ever given you could catch a virus, eating any raw veggies or fruit, etc.  If these judgy women were capable of logic, they’d realize their mental energy is better spent worrying about other things.
