What do the childfree know about post-partum depression? Hm...

Jun 19, 2007 09:11

monkeypussnz wants to know if since 1/3 of new mothers in New Zealand suffer from post-partum depression could this be a form of population control 'ala Anderea Yates?'Because clearly, 1/3 of the mothers in the world are killing off their babies ( Read more... )

childfree, how is babby formed, left-field logic

Actually, there's part of me that wonders (don't shoot! just curious! D: ) if PPD/PPP women are at higher risk, if they are of lower income. Just a passing thought... yeah.

That's what I'm saying, it would make sense if they were more vulnerable to PPD.

I had words, I promise.

But now I do not have words. My brain is stuck on "..." and I can't get to the words.

Oh, dear.

I have PPD and want to slap monkeypussnz for the stupid. For some reason I'm...no...there I go again. I've lost my words.

I'm not sure I'd consider "drowning your children" to really be "population control"...but whatever.

sushigal007 June 19 2007, 15:09:25 UTC

So... if you have PPP, you don't need help and support and drugs because it's natures way of keeping th population in check? Despite the fact that PND=/=PPP. They raise an interesting point in wanting to know the biological use of PND, but then go into crazy talk. Bah.

I don't see anyone saying that people with PPD/PPP don't deserve help or treatment.

That depends on whether we can stop looking for something to take offense at.

I don't see the stupid in the post. I think it's an interesting and valid question. Some of the comments are a little off, but no one said "kill the crotch rockets!" or anything. I vote 'not stupid.'

_dear_mariah June 19 2007, 15:25:39 UTC

Ssppppttt...a crotch rocket is a motorcylce.

chr0nocidal June 19 2007, 15:30:51 UTC

motorcylce

O RLY? lol.

Well I'm CF but not a freetard, so I don't know all the terms they come up with. You know exactly what I mean, though!

_dear_mariah June 19 2007, 15:43:27 UTC

Crotchdropping is the term you were looking for. ;) But the thought of a kid being a motorcycle gave me a good giggle.
