Do Pregnant women belong in a club?

[Adam W]

Because we have come a long way, baby.

...but please don't smoke your Virginia Slims if you're "with child"

This is a good example of how a question is phrased will determine the answer one gets.  I think very few people would go so far as to question whether or not a pregnant woman should be able to go anywhere she pleases, or be refused entrance to a club.  The real question is does it show good judgement on her part to possibly expose her unborn child to what could be an unhealthy situation.

Like buying a large soda in NYC?

Virginia Slims if you're "with child"

I can see this on Stephen Colbert!

I dunno, I've ALWAYS thought that women who are in the family way are the most beautiful people on earth... Often feeling ugly, fat or unattractive, or worse being told those things, I see it as the ultimate feminine state and absolutely lovely.

"Shanna, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into ... I say, let 'em dance." Gee, I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

If she's in the club, she probably spent more time picking out her shoes than she did picking the father of her child...

I didn't think you were, Tamara.  Like I said, I was laughing.  But I also had a vision.  Mine wasn't in a movie though. Mine was real.  When I graduated, options for women were pretty limited.  Clerical, nurse, teacher, teller were pretty much it for most women.  As late as the 1980s a bank officer told me he wanted my husband to co-sign for a $2500 car I was buying, even though I was well qualifed for it myself.  (I refused.)  And note, there were no female bank officers to discuss it with.  :-)

We have come pretty far since then, so the picture of anyone thinking a pregnant woman didn't belong in certain places made me laugh, although it also made me sad.  Like that movie scene you referred to. I saw it too. And I thought, "Why should they be refused entrance to a club because one is old and the other pregnant?"

But mostly I laughed, because at least we aren't stuck in Victorian England, where ladies had to stay INDOORS when pregnant, couldn't work unless it was as a servant, and could not leave abusive husbands because their husbands owned all their assets. 

So in that sense, I found it funny.  Because we have come a long way, baby.

Lol, you're right! You're right! We have come so far. So you know what? Pregnant women should partake in raves, mosh pits, bungee jumping, cart wheels, riding motorcycles at the highest speed, wrestling, scuba diving, and boxing.

I mean, since we have come such a long way, right? We're free, baby!

I don't believe I'd of said that brother!

Conversely could it be that someone like you caused the condition and she was at the club simply to lose the implied guilt?

Why the double standard? Wouldn't the same be true of a man who gets sexually irresponsible after a few drinks in the club?

^^Ock, seriously? What a bunch of crap. Yeah, it's the bars' fault for providing an avenue for her to lose her inhibitions and let anybody knock her up. And yeah, it's the bars' fault for man being man. Give me a break. You know what? It's always somebody else's fault. My point was that, if she's prego and she's still hanging out at the club, her future child is low on her list of priorities, just like choosing the father of her child was. 

Personal responsibility? Doesn't exist anymore.

I prefer when you talk about trains.

^At any rate, I expect her money would spend just as well at your place as it would elsewhere.

It depends on what she is doing and how often she is there. If it's a one-time thing where her girlfriends dragged  her along, I get  that. If she's there all the time, then it's a little pathetic. I mean...who the hell is going to hit on a pregnant chick?

Lol

[simms3]

Wow, without getting into the politics of it and the women's liberation movement and so on and so forth, if I ever went to a club and saw or bumped into some awkward pregger woman hanging out on the dance floor all by herself, I would be staying the hell away from that place going forward!!!  What is the purpose of a doorman if there are no standards??

I don't know the woman's situation enough to feel sorry for her or upset with her, but I do feel sorry for all the other clubgoers!  Ew

[RockStar]

@Tach. LOL, well, we wouldn't serve someone obviously pregnant, for one. But I do enjoy making "mock"tails for pregnant women that make it appear as though they are drinking just to shock other people (think n/a cosmo-esque martini).

(There was a reality/comedy show called "Women Behaving Badly" that did a hilarious skit with a girl at a bar, leaning agains it, appearing to get hammered and, when she backed away, looked as though she was 8mo pregnant...)

In response to your statement though, yes, Wells Fargo doesn't care where the money comes from and neither do my creditors. Regardless however, I do, as previously stated.

And this thread is about clubs, not bars. There is a difference.

(of course, she can't get pregnant twice at the same time...lol. Juuuusssst kidding take it easy people...)

Sounds like that woman was really trying to get some!  Pregnant women are horny as **** from what I hear   I can just picture her "sneaking" a Virginia Slim in one hand and holding a cocktail in the other, eye******* all the men in the club, 99% of whom came with non-prego girls (girls who probably got them in there).
