This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.
100 years ago, when these people think was the ‘golden age’, women were actually blamed for their children’s issues. They blamed nearly everything on women. Yeah, let’s go back to that: MAGA women, how does that sound to you? Do you think you’re one of the good ones?
Let’s bring back lobotomies for women who have too many opinions, too. The world was better when only men were allowed to have opinions and women were the root of all evil, like the bible says.
One remembers the "refrigerator mothers" idea
Oh god. I’d never heard of that. That was a thing, started by an asshole psychologist in the 1940s. Legit psychopathic mentality, wtf.
e: so the jist is that your kid is autistic because you suck at being a parent and are too ‘cold’. Imagine your’re doing everything you can, but the entire medical system is telling you it’s your fault for not caring enough. That’s the ultimate gaslighting. Because if you cared enough, your kid wouldn’t be this way.
e2: and reading more, they took kids away on this grounds. I feel so horrible for those parents. You had no recourse at all. You were doing your best, and your child had a medical issue, but based on the social symptoms of your child you were a ‘refrigerator mother’ so your kid was put in an orphanage. Wtf.
And I'm sure the orphanage cured the symptoms? 🤦♂️
I guess they’re ‘cured’, if you mean ‘dead and buried in mass unmarked graves’. e: they don’t have those symptoms anymore.
Leonard's mother in Big Bang Theory is based on this theory.
Although technically she should be Sheldon's mother.
And Sheldon's mother should be Howard's mother. And he should be gay.
It still happens today.
I just had a baby. You've no idea how many times we were told "Good/Great Job Mom" after hearing the baby is healthy, and seeing it isn't deformed.
As if an illness would be my wife's fault.
We just left those on read. Like WTF?
My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn't produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It's been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.
Those types are in charge of policy right now.
Why not some raw milk, tho?
