ok guys – who else is ticked off by Zelena prancing about in a tight mini dress and high heels with her girlish figure back in tack 5 minutes after having natural childbirth — wtf?? Plot or not – this is insulting to mothers everywhere.
That dress had magical postpartum belly support woven into it. Made out of 100% recycled MacGuffins 😛
I actually agree, it was kind of offensive. It’s another reminder that this show is about women written (mostly) by men. Does anyone remember those weird “mommy to be” dolls — I think from the early 90s? I remember they were around when I was a kid. Essentially, the belly opens, the baby comes out, and then there’s a plastic “flap” that snaps back and the belly is flat again. I’m going to assume that somehow this is still the writers’ understanding of childbirth in humans. I wish they’d skip to the chase, and just reintroduce storks.
