The story was in extremely poor taste and was a direct exploitation of Reva's site membership.

Unless Yael gave express permission for this kind of direct copy and paste I honestly can't understand how one has the nerve to put out a story like this down to barely changing post details (yogurt being expensive among so much else) and the visual format.

Everyone keeps mentioning yogurt but the thread about it was nothing to do with the way she mentioned it.

This was the original thread: https://www.imamother.com/foru.....18102

Can someone please explain to me how her story was a copy paste of that at all?

I really think people are up in arms here about absolutely nothing.

Ok so she winked to imamother readers. Hi back to her?

It still wasn't making fun of or comparable to any specific OPs. So don't understand why anyone is getting insulted on some hypothetical OPs behalves.

I can maybe understand having an issue of lifting the graphics from here, but everything else just sounds like getting angry for the sake of it.

After this thread, there was another thread questioning if yoghurt is a luxury. Thats the thread it was based on.

Agreed. I enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy the text that followed - author turned school teacher.

I think people are making mountains out of molehills.
I make fun of imamother all the time. I wouldnt make fun of an abuse situation or heartbreaking situations that’s posted on imamother, but regarding the general forum I see nothing wrong with.
That is my opinion and whoever disagrees is entitled to their opinion.

I found the story a bit boring and corny although I understand and agree with the point she was trying to make.
I never post in the shalom bayis forum (cuz my marriage is perfect Wink

). I feel like posters are quick to jump on, many times, an innocent man. Besides we don't know both sides of the story.
In cases of abuse, sure, bring it to OPs attention. But a regular spat does not mean abuse.

Even better. I just read that thread and it just read as a theoretical discussion/debate over whether yogurt should be considered a luxury. Didn't sound like the OP was asking because she wanted to stop buying yogurts or any shalom bayis issue over it, just as a general discussion. So no sensitive issue there either.

Uch - not two sides. OP was an unreliable narrator from the onset.

I'm referring to general shalom bayis threads on here.
For example, I got into an argument with dh today. When we discussed it later we were both right and wrong. Had I posted on here you all would've heard my pov only.
Hes a good man bH. And in my moment of anger you all would've commiserated with me. When I was wrong, too.

I’m getting cancel culture vibes.

Criticizing what someone puts out is part of free speech. She can write and say whatever she wants. At the same time, people can criticize her for it. That's the risk anyone takes when they speak. Nobody wants to cancel her. It would just be nice if she gained some awareness.

I think you’re not understanding the women who are upset. It’s not a question of imamother bashing. It’s a feeling of invasion of privacy, specifically with regard to women who have been victims of abuse or who have been in contact with women who experienced it. They’re a sensitive group and it’s easy to understand why that is.
Whenever I saw a comment from anyone who thought it was funny or enjoyed it I thought - there’s someone who has no idea how sensitive this topic is and isn’t she lucky to be innocent and able to laugh. That’s why I don’t blame the author either, but I didn’t think that should have been published where it was.
It’s not imamother that’s untouchable. It’s the subject of abuse that should be touched upon only by people who know what they’re doing, and even then with the greatest care.

Invasion of privacy? Posting on the internet (Imamother) is less private, if anything, than an article in the Ami.

Any feeling of privacy on the internet is an illusion; you do realize that whatever you are saying here is literally like announcing it in Times Square (which is why I usually post amother). She didn't actually post anybody's specific story anyway (and if she would, Ami is not necessarily less private than the internet).

And the fact that you think that the subject of abuse should only be touched by experts is LITERALLY Reva's point. I happen not to agree, but that IS her point. You are agreeing with her.
