This isn’t uplifting. It is sad that priorities had her born in jail.

She wants you to be sad, is all about prejudice. She even uses it on herself as her introduction. IMHO I would had done my best to keep that fact hidden had it happened to me (still, how would I know what it feels). She exploits that fact. Good for her, but it's not sad.

Good take. I’d also keep that a secret for life.

Why? It doesn't say why her mother was in prison for, so it could be justified.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You just argued that it's good for children to be born in cages.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

No - what I've argued is that it does not unjustify the mother's imprisonment. I don't think it really matters if a child was born in prison or not, as long as the sanitary and medical conditions were proper (that is - in the prison's infirmary and not into the cell's toilet). Growing up in prison is a different matter, which no child should be subjected to, but here it says her father took her and raised her outside.
