The motive behind Jovanovic's actions was reportedly her fear that motherhood would jeopardise her professional career as a lawyer for a prestigious car brand.

We need to make it so women don't have to feel this way..I thought Germany was fairly progressive like that, but obviously not enough.

[-] Pothetato@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I mean sure but I think there's a few extra steps between "feeling" this way and fucking doing it.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 15 points 2 years ago

You can give someone access to all the help they need, but if they don't seek it out, there's not much you can do about it. It sounds like post partum depression may have played a role, that is real, but you can't force someone into treatment.

She threw the baby off the window 10 minutes after giving birth.

I hope you'll agree with me that there are alternatives before throwing your newborn baby off the window as if it was a fucking napkin.

Even abandoning it in front of a church is more humane than what this bitch did.

Don't know this lady's story. But post natal psychosis is a real tragic thing that can happen. This isnt the action of someone possessing their faculties.

Why when abortion is available would you carry to term -and then so impulsively act? If for whatever reason she didn't want the baby and couldn't get the abortion, she had months to come up with a better plan than 'throw it out a window'. Either she was undiagnosed with something the whole time, or the birth triggered a psychological episode imo.

Who throws napkins out the window?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Strictly speaking it is not as bad as throwing a baby out of one.

No amount of progressivism can stop people from getting mental illnesses.

Interesting take. I wonder if the headline was:

"New Father and former Porsche Executive Throws Newborn Off Balcony"

Your first thoughts would be how the system failed him and that Germany needs to do more to support fathers.

It is a bit depressing how many guys in this thread don't understand what pregnancy and childbirth can do to someone. Side effects may include: suicidal and homicidal urges. Google Postpartum Psychosis and Postpartum Depression.

Everyone is asking but why didn't she act in a sane way and give it up for adoption? Well, there are good odds she needed something prescribed to her to allow her to be sane. Pregnant people's bodies are undergoing major chemical changes, labor opens the floodgates. Which is why it is very important to make it easy and stigma free to let everyone out of the queue who does not want to ride the ride, and make healthcare accessible to those that do.

Their point is to call out the sexist take in feigning sympathy for a child murderer when we all know the world wouldn’t do that shit if it was a man.

[-] Naich@lemmings.world -1 points 2 years ago

Just brainless strawman shit then.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 2 years ago

Calling out sexism in society isn't strawmaning.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Lmfao when men have to go through childbirth and have post partum depression then you'll have a point.

Until then, have fun winning arguments you made up in the shower you goof.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au -1 points 2 years ago

Men can go through those things.

And what about women who never have children?

What a terrible argument you’ve presented.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Men can go through those things.

Hwhat

And what about women who never have children?

Lol What about them? How does that affect our discussion of mothers going through post partum??

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hwhat

Trans men exist.

lol What about them?

We were talking about sexism. You seemed to imply it only mattered for women who had given birth or suffered PPD.

[-] Naich@lemmings.world -1 points 2 years ago

You aren't calling out sexism, you are just inventing situations to get angry about.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it's "fuck feminism". I've seen this plenty of times before.
