Not at all. Quite the contrary, many folks applauded me for not going. I really didn't know the woman, and she was sorta blanket-inviting everyone in the office. Many people went, but given that I was a newer face, they never missed me.
That’s good. The reason I asked is I had a job once where one of the managers and her “life partner” were having a baby that her “life partner” conceived with a male, i.e., ivf, i.e., turkey baster. The managers were all excited about it and had a baby shower. I refused to attend but they put all sorts of pressure on us. One of the managers said to me “we have a baby!” when the baby was born. There was just no sense of the fact that there may be folks in the office who didn’t approve of these two women purposely creating a child that didn’t ask to born in this unnatural manner and would be deprived of his father on purpose so these two women could brake the laws of God and nature. It made me very uncomfortable and I’m glad I no longer work there.
