I did not suggest that saying pregnancy changes someone physically is any of those things. In fact, I'm not even sure that's what the commenter was even suggesting. I did say that people should stop talking about other peoples bodies, I specified women, but it's true generally. Women's bodies are particularly objectified, and I can't imagine most women want their coworkers thinking about or talking about their chest at all, postpartum or otherwise.
If someone started talking to me irl about their colleagues chest I would give them a weird look and not engage in the conversation. I don't know why talking about it online should make it more acceptable.
Also, suggesting someone is chronically online or needs professional help because they are calling out this sort of thing is really not productive. If you disagree and think it's ok for people to talk about others bodies, that's your prerogative, but we just have different visions of the society we want to live in. I specifically mentioned that I did not believe they meant it maliciously. There is just a background level societal allowance for this that I think we should do better to work against.
Not allowed to talk about bodies? Now that's some stupid crazy talk.
Seriously, touch grass and think about it.
Good luck!
