Funny how such little details that don't fit The Narrative get omitted from this sort of article.

- trs8080 5y agowhat's "The Narrative"? sounds like some kind of conspiracy?
- civilized 5y agoIt's just the story this author is pushing, characterizing time as a form of oppression against women, and dovetailing with other narratives that try to reduce every Western concept and institution to forms of oppression. If rules relating to time exist to help women not die during childbirth, that's inconvenient for the article's chosen single perspective ("The Narrative") and must therefore be omitted. If actions taken on a timetable are a difficult trade-off, it becomes much harder to simply characterize them as oppression.
