I feel like the choice for who gets to look up your vaginal canal should be explicitly granted to the person to whom the vaginal canal belongs to. 100% of the time.

Without a doubt. How is this a difficult concept to grasp? Labor and delivery aren’t, like, getting lip injections. It is a very serious medical procedure where lots of bodily things happen you don’t want everyone to see!

Luckily for all of us, “Dear Prudence” had no problem shutting Grandma down and bringing her back to earth by telling her she was “entirely in the wrong.”
Because giving birth is the most intimate process on the planet. Women have every right to decide who they wish to be present, and how it’s all gonna go down. The personal comfort level of the mother and what’s best for her and the baby should be non-negotiable. Here’s hoping Julia and Steven have exactly the birth experience they want to have.
BOUNDARIES, GRANDMA. BOUNDARIES.
