So sad that people feel they have a right to treat others like this.

That is so sad
I really hope that things are changing as there's becoming more awareness for post partum bodies. It seems that more and more women are standing up to the stigma that we have to hide our 'ruined' bodies. I hope I live to see the day where our culture is proud and accepting of mothers' bodies and all that we do for our children.

I saw that on FB as well. A man commented and said his wife has had 4 kids and her stomach looks similar but he doesn't call them stretch marks, he calls them "love stories." I thought that was so sweet!!

I don't get how people can be so mean...don't THEY have mothers too? How would they feel if their mother was being ridiculed?!

I don't understand at all how people can behave like this. It's so sad.

I think our culture is pretty sad toward women in general. It is as if you aren't supposed to age, eat, sweat, have a natural body or face, wear shoes that are comfortable, women are expected to epilate themselves... I could go on and on. Listen to me sounding like an old hippie... I feel sorry for the people that act and think like that, it would be rough being so heartless and inexperienced and naive.

@Greentea: yup
This I one thing I don't understand about women and society in general, if 95% of the population don't look like supermodels then why are we constantly trying to live up or attain to what is essentially the exception? Lets embrace the amazing-mess that our bodies instead of trying to cover them up or drastically change them!

That happened close to where I live so it was all over my FB yesterday. It makes me so sad to know that there are people in this world who are so pathetic to be like that.
