The below video resonates with me, but trust me when I say it’s all about the hormones, and we do get over it, at least after weaning. In any case, I apologize (hat tip Jordan Ellenberg).

While I’m here, though, I would like to say one thing that non-pregnant people do to pregnant people, which is desex them. The maternity clothes industry was part of this until recently, making all maternity dresses (and they were all dresses) look like school-girl uniforms.

It’s like, now that you’re pregnant I’m going to treat you like an innocent child who’s never had a dirty thought in her life. But, people, how do you think we got this way?

But it’s a more general phenomenon, and you kind of act like an idiot in part because people treat you like one.
