Sheesh! I can't recall any post in here that has espoused everyone should have the same birth values as the poster - the only 'forecefulness' I have seen is the strong desire to let people know they are allowed to ask questions and take control of their own birthing choices (not the outcomes, there is always an unknown there, we have all acknowledged that).
I guess there are always going to be people who don't like a forum where every post is greeted with a "yes, you're so right, I agree with and accept everything you said because I'm too scared to say any different in case the discussion takes an emotionally immature turn and egos can't handle disagreement". Those forums exist at both ends of the birthing and parenting approach spectrum, I know cos I've been on them, albeit briefly! People get upset when there is a dissonance - some people will read this post and realise they ARE upset about their birth and they've been told over and over "don't worry, none of your trauma should matter to you because you got your baby" - their trauma existing but glossed over so that others no longer have to deal with the person's conflicting feelings. That's not what the OP article is saying, I don't think. She's saying that she felt fine with the process and outcome (medicalisation was necessary and not brought on by interventions that she accepted under duress and bullying by hospy staff) and she doesn't want judgment - good call, that needs to happen with all birth choices. The OP posted this woman's experience to validate people who feel similarly, that's what some of us do
As for being in the Men's Forum, if it comes up in my 'New Posts' then I'm allowed to post in it if I'm not breaching T&C's!!
I wanted to take part in the footy discussion, but never got round to it after having a very busy winter. Maybe this year.
