WEBVTT - MINI: Why we need to STOP commenting on pregnant bodies 🤰

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Monday afternoon with the Goals and me it's me Mitch's

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>birthday all day. Thanks for bringing it up.

0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>It's my birthday. Send me a DM.

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I want to talk to you about online trolls,

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 3>not the trolls that are trolling Mitch for his birthday.

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Like, let's not talk about those. Margo Robbie a couple of.

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Months ago, we saw her off the back of Barbie.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 3>She was touched as the most beautiful woman on the world,

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 3>like people were singing her praises. There was a lot

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 3>of kickoff when people started to assume that she was

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 3>pregnant because she never announced it, but she had like

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 3>this tiny little belly that could have been a big

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 3>passer or could have been a.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Baby, and they were all pat photos at the time

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that was coming out. Wasn't like she'd announced her pregnancy.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>There was just like, is that a pregnancy bum?

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Was that awkward size.

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 4>A child?

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>So now there's this same conversation happening around Margo's body.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she's actually confirmed it.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 3>She's heavily pregnant, like it's there is no denying she's

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 3>heavily pregnant.

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Again, she hasn't put any photos out.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 3>The paparazzi photos have come out of her with her

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>husband on holiday in a bikini living her best life.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Is the best. Oh yeah, I've seen them. I saw

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>the articles as.

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, and.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>She looks done it.

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, the conversation that has been happening online about her

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 3>body is absolutely disgusting. So there's an influencer, Alex Light,

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>who has sort of done a story on this herself,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>which has gone viral. I just want to play you

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.839
<v Speaker 3>some of it because she talks about what men are saying.

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Margo blobby her husband for messing that up. She was

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 4>a nine before and now a solid five. Body is

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>clearly destroyed, but the beauty of life is on parallels.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 4>That comment gave me whiplash. She's got the why pregnancy

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 4>knows now definitely over for Harley Quinn Gross, I would

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 4>never let my girl get that big when she gets pregnant.

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Never let my girl get that big when she's pregnant.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Like you get to say, willing to place a bit

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 3>that they don't have a girl, Yeah, girl, Look.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean it should go without saying, but unfortunately it

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>should be said. There should be one time in a

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>woman's life at least where all bets are off when

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it comes to making any comments around their body. But unfortunately,

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.839
<v Speaker 1>during pregnancy, it seems like it's the one time where

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>people feel like it's almost an allowance to make comments,

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>whether it's oh my god, you're so small for being pregnant,

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>or or like wow, like are you sure got twins

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>in there? Like people always comment on pregnant women's bodies,

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>whether it's trying to be positive or very very negative

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>as in this case. And it's like, so much happens

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to your body when you're pregnant that you just can't control.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>You can't control the way it gain. You can't control

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 2>your nose getting whider.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't control the varica's veins or the malasma or

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>all these other things.

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>And I think like people already.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Feel self conscious enough to have to read comments like

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that about yourself.

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just so discussed. Did you face that when you

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 2>have babies, because you'll be the public eye.

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I had the opposite, and now this is not to

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>me be like, oh, I was so small when I

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant. I had quite a small baby bump with Maley,

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>especially at the start, and a lot of people would

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>say to me, Oh, wow, you're so small, like God,

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you can barely tell that you're pregnant. And that bread

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>such a deep insecurity in me, because I got pregnant

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>with Maley off the back of a miscarriage, and so

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>she was sizing small, like a month smaller than what

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>was like normal range, and so they were keeping close

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>eye from it. So I really had it in my

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>head that I was going to have another miscarriage. So

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 1>every time someone would say that to me, especially other

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>women who had had babies, how little I was, it

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>really made me so fearful that something was wrong. So

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I just think, even if it's meant to be kind commentary,

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't need to comment on women's bodies during pregnancy

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>at all, And this is certainly anything but kind commentary.

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>But it's just doubling down on how much women can't

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 3>win at any point of their life.

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>In any capacity.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 3>If we age gracefully, all of a sudden, we're old

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 3>and ugly and where it had been. But if we

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 3>get work done to maintain the youth that everyone wants,

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, we're trying too hard and we're overdone.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>You look weird.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 3>If you carry your baby all of a sudden, you're ruined.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 3>But if you don't carry your baby and you need

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>to adopt, you have a surrogate. You're lazy and selfish.

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>If you don't have kids at all, then what are

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 3>you contributing to society? Crazy cat lad, Crazy cat lady.

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 3>There is absolutely no way, at any time of life

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 3>anymore that we can win.

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, it just really does show that there

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>are people out there who have the most revolting perspectives

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and opinions on women's bodies.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 2>And look at us, she looks, how glorious she looks.

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Just shut up?

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we're really angry. Miss.

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>You can finish the show. But to every other troll

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 2>out there, shut up, good good advice. All right, we

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 2>are done, just leaving room for the present if you

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>want to give it to me now. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
