Pregnant Bellies are gross

Somebody in my life made that comment today.  It was somebody that I have a lot of dealings with every day of my life.  I was completely floored that she said it.  I could understand it coming from a man or I should that I would have expected to hear that kind of judgment of womens’ bodies from a man.  I mean, I remember all the kerfuffle about Demi Moore showing her pregnant belly off on the cover of that famous magazine.  How dare a woman put herself on public display.  Why, the only time when a woman is displaying herself is acceptable is when her goal in life is giving all the straight dudes a boner.  So ladies, go ahead and put yourself on the cover of every supermarket tabloid and billboard with your four inch heels and your made up faces because straight guys love that cheesy crap.  But put your pregnant belly on display to show pride in the kid that you’re having and suddenly you are gross.  There is nothing in life more wonderful than showing your belly off in anticipation of the child’s birth.  Why would anybody think its gross?

I’m also annoyed because apparently I should pick my battles, there, there sweetheart.  Hearing that makes me want to kick puppies.
