I did not suggest that saying pregnancy changes someone physically is any of those things. In fact, I'm not even sure that's what the commenter was even suggesting. I did say that people should stop talking about other peoples bodies, I specified women, but it's true generally. Women's bodies are particularly objectified, and I can't imagine most women want their coworkers thinking about or talking about their chest at all, postpartum or otherwise.

If someone started talking to me irl about their colleagues chest I would give them a weird look and not engage in the conversation. I don't know why talking about it online should make it more acceptable.

Also, suggesting someone is chronically online or needs professional help because they are calling out this sort of thing is really not productive. If you disagree and think it's ok for people to talk about others bodies, that's your prerogative, but we just have different visions of the society we want to live in. I specifically mentioned that I did not believe they meant it maliciously. There is just a background level societal allowance for this that I think we should do better to work against.

Plenty of things were once considered funny jokes that we now recognize as harmful. Your personal opinion on the humor of their comment is not an actual response to my critique. You don't need to to do any introspection on my account, but if your reaction to someone saying something is harmful is to defend it by calling it a joke then I would hope you do some introspection on your own account. You don't have to agree with me, but you're not really providing a considered response.

Can you explain what specifically is making you suggest this?

Someone made a comment about their postpartum coworker. I expressed my personal position that we should not be talking about other people's bodies and that there is an undercurrent of sexism online. I never suggested they were personally sexist.

Are you suggesting that there is no undercurrent of sexism online? Are you stating you support talking about random women's bodies to strangers?

So many women talk about how the internet and Lemmy specifically are hostile to them. I knew when I posted that it would not be the majority sentiment, and I expected downvotes. I'm surprised that people are openly attaching their username to comments suggesting that the act of expressing my opinion is the problem.

It really feels like your suggestion boils down to "I'm not made uncomfortable by this so you should leave because your opinion doesn't belong here".
