Leftys Britney Spears Needs your Help.

I do wonder what's in the medical records that caused such a strict ruling back then. She can't do much of anything without another adult telling her that it's okay.
Just speculating but I figure the thing about not allowing her to have another child is her father and others not wanting her to be unavailable for performances, thus impacting the estates bottom line.
 

What do I have to go on here? She wants a "ride with her boyfriend" and "a baby". So she's making the demands of a 14 year old without a future. That seems healthy to you?

She sounds like a human adult.
 

I can assure you, the laughter at your posts is extremely warranted. You assuming it isn't while stating you didn't assume is also a iLOL.

I feel for her... Anyone who thinks a 40 year old, (who is fully capable of making her own way in the world), deserves to be held captive by this conservatorship isn't really thinking about her rights to self-autonomy.
 
She sounds like a human adult.

She sounds like a 14 year old that wants out of an abusive household. "I just wanna be with my boyfriend and have a baby."

That is not a healthy adult.

A healthy, 30-40 something adult doesn't want to get out of their house, have a romantic relationship, and maybe have a child?
 
Only crazy people claim their life goal is to have a baby. There's not a person outside an institution claiming that as their life goal. Well, some haven't been captured yet.
A lot of people are obsessed with having a baby. They keep fertility specialists in business.

Do you people let a committee decide if you have a child or something?

They have other goals. Career, education, hobbies, interests. You cannot compare someone who has a ride with their boyfriend and has a baby in the course of life with someone who that is their only stated goals.

If someone says, "I gotta be free because I need a Big Mac!"

Do you argue, "well, who doesn't want a Big Mac?"

No. Can you see why.

I have to disagree. I have no idea what her mental records hold and cleary she had a giant issue years back, which kicked this whole thing in to begin with. I've not read the fine print details but it sounds like she doesn't even come close to having the freedom of a 14 year old and nowhere close to a 40 year old. I think there should be an entirely new look at her mental state, as well as how her money is being handled. Kind of hard to be healthy when you're being robbed of your own life.
 

You were told how all-inclusive the conservatorship was, you're a PhD who talks about power dynamics a lot, was shoveled a ton of information about things this grown woman wanted to be able to do on their own (just as before)...but you're going to ignore everything you could read about the case in order to keep up with your gripe either about the famous person or that they have a disability?
 

She's gonna need to improve her argument. "I wanna go riding with my boyfriend and I wanna have a baby" aren't convincing. Maybe she should try something with the slightest bit of thought to it.
 

I'm a PhC candidate, Interdisciplinary Ecology with a specialization in Gender.

I'm arguing that Britney has failed to present a convincing case to the public (I'm not an officer of the court or a member of the agreement). I've given my opinion. It's a thread on the internet.

I'll grant "crazy person boss" was a touch over the line, but that's what made it funny.
 

I'm just baffled at your lazy analysis, especially given your education.

I'm not a psychologist or a social worker. I also couldn't care about pop music from any decade. So I'm rather disinterested here. But if you get the chance, tell Britney she needs to up her game.

I'm not seeing the part about riding with her bf, what I just read in the OP is she wants to get married and have another child. Why do you think she shouldn't be allowed to do that?
 
No, I saying that being obsessed with having a child is common. Eco seems to think it's a warning sign.

You can't drop context.

The baby is being used as a reason for her to gain autonomy after being essentially committed.

It's not a female executive wanting a child. It's not a successful woman deciding it's time for a child in her life. It's someone using having a baby as an excuse for their release.
 
I think the point was that the conservatorship that she's under is way too restrictive.

Because she's been essentially committed and "going for a ride" and "havin' a baby" are her only stated goals.
 

 

Hmmmm maybe something like.....get married? Or is that loony town too?

For someone with an education or career or otherwise life, totally normal. For a person in a straight jacket, not a convincing goal.
