Meh. If he said he was proud of his wife for running a marathon despite the pain, it wouldn’t be an issue. Same thing. As long as it was her choice, he can be proud of it.
It’s his daughter, but why be proud of someone for choosing unnecessary pain? If he were proud of her choosing natural birth because of the health benefits it imparts on the child fine, but it’s like saying I’m proud of you for running a marathon with a broken ankle. He’s not proud of the act, he’s proud of her suffering.
but it’s like saying I’m proud of you for running a marathon with a broken ankle.
Woman athletes persevere with injuries and finish competitions all the time. I can’t imagine shaming an athlete who chose to continue despite the pain.
You’re still entirely missing the point. I hope for your sake you’re just attempting to be intentionally inflammatory, and not that you’re truly this ignorant.
She is UNNECESSARILY choosing pain for NO OTHER REASON than to be in pain (according to the info in the post - again, if she did it for baby’s health benefits this would not be my stance) and it’s being lauded.
I’m going to run a marathon with two good ankles. Great - it’s hard enough already. Oh wait, let me break my ankle with a hammer so people will be MORE proud of me for running it with smashed bones even though there is NO BENEFIT to adding that additional VOLUNTARY SELF-INFLICTED suffering.
Does that clarify it? Yes, if you have a goal and get injured, or have additional challenges and choose to push through them, that’s great, but to cause yourself pain and harm without reason or benefit should not be seen as something to be proud of.

Running a marathon ISN’T NECESSARY. RUNNING A MARATHON AFTER KNEE SURGERY ISN’T NECESSARY. This isn’t hypothetical. I gave you two examples with links. Those runners chose pain for no reason. My daughter wants to run a marathon. I don’t understand it. I weakly suggest she should go easier on herself. She is choosing pain for the personal challenge.

Duh, of course. But way to miss my point entirely.
I got the point and refuted it. You can’t understand that some women will choose a challenge.
Joan Benoit competed in the 84 Olympics despite having knee surgery two weeks earlier. She chose the pain.
You’re still entirely missing the point. I hope for your sake you’re just attempting to be intentionally inflammatory, and not that you’re truly this ignorant.
Stop saying I’m missing the point and explain what you mean.
What is your point? What exactly am I missing?

You aren’t arguing in good faith.
