  • I think we have lost the plot

    From Rug Rat@1:135/250 to All on Wed Oct 15 10:34:10 2025
    So, this came up in my Facebook feed today.

    "A woman allegedly gave her ex-lover a cooler that held the deceased remains of her miscarried fetus, saying, "here's your kid."".

    I am not sure what I find scarier..

    That she was only charged with harrasment (I would think this might be crossing the line into stalking. Though since the child aborted naturaly I guess there was no implied threat.

    or

    That the majority of the comments actually side with her, mostly because he did not believe she was pregnant.

    However, with her obvious tenuous hold on mental health, I don't think I would believe her on face value either.

    What do you think? Do you think the charges should have been more severe?

    Do you think she lost the plot?

    Not necessarily, but...

    ... her mental health should probably be evaluated. I would also wonder
    what the relationship was like, i.e. maybe he was mentally abusive, but her reaction is extreme.

    I would more wonder if she abused him. I think this was akin to coming home and finding your bunny boiling on the stove. This may not have been the first time she has tried the pregnancy bit, it just so happened that this time she really wasy.

    That brings up another point. When a woman acts out towards a man, everyone immediately wonders if he abuses her. If a man did something similar (IE - delivering a cooler with a dead animal, nobody questions if he was being abused in the relationship. It is throw him in jail and round file the key.
