"I am single, 41 and pregnant"...
I don't know when pregnancy became a part of a person's identity. I guess this adds to the coolness factor these days because you have to try harder? Sigh.

- amouat 12y agoWhere does it say this? (I guess it's been removed?) And why does it matter to you whether or not the author considers being pregnant to be part of her identity? IMO it would be more healthy to comment on the content of article than than the author's identity.

- ceejayoz 12y agoThe pregnancy is just as relevant as being single and 41. Why are you complaining about it and not the others?
- stef25 12y ago> The pregnancy is just as relevant as being single and 41 ie. not at all
- ceejayoz 12y agoAll are fairly relevant in the user's profile, which is where this appeared.
- general_failure 12y agoYou are being quite naive if you don't understand why it's there. When is the last time someone introduced themeselves to you as: "hi, i am xx and i am pregnant"? It makes no sense whatsoever.
- Spooky23 12y agoPregnancy at 41 is generally high-risk. So you have lots of doctor's appointments, often lots of discomfort and you probably end up with mandated (and necessary) bed rest. Being single while dealing with that is an enormous burden mentally and physically. I didn't notice it referenced in the story, but it is definitely a factor that would influence a person's behavior that would be relevant, especially in a startup context when everyone is wearing 10 hats.
