I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert, but I think that the prosecution should have charged Zimmerman with manslaughter from the start, rather than going with 2nd degree murder. It's not that I don't think Zimmerman is guilty of murder 2, but in terms of getting a conviction, I think it would have been easier…

Dear Ellen Page and grown women everywhere,

It is "David and I" my love.

I don't know if Amanda actually sees her experience as a universal rule, but it's really common for people to speak that way in casual conversation...

Not feeling it.

I actually prefer the funnel and tanker truck method for getting as much delicious, delicious split pea soup inside of me as possible.

I'm sorry, but these are straight up "mom shorts." Nothing sexy about 'em.

Yes, but my vulva is regularly covered in piss and occasionally splattered by toilet water, which are problems nowhere else on my body has. Also, just like my armpits, it smells when I don't wash it with soap.

Use Coconut oil as a shaving cream

I never put him on a hook, (my point) I asked for a ride and he had class so I got a ride from a friend. I didn't feel the need to reschedule. I also noted that male partners where not allowed past the waiting room which was not surprising. I didn't take issue with his absence and won't at your insistence. He's there…

If they flat out refuse because they have serious anxieties in clinical settings, even in the waiting room, I'd accept it. If they refuse because they do not or cannot (and in the US, often it is the latter) take time off work, I'd be okay with it. If they refused because they wanted to give me some privacy and felt…

Because it's tiring to be fighting for women's rights and causes like reproductive healthcare and then have women state that a man's presence is needed and that he should be punished if he does not partake. If that's a preference fine.

My boyfriend had school and had to study for a final after. I think part of being an in charge of your body, sexual choices and using the limited resources we have as women in this country for our health care means sometimes dealing with things yourself. I'm glad I had the option to get my Paraguard for free and…

Agreed.

I also think that the statement that you should *cancel* an IUD appointment if your boyfriend won't go with you assumes that women absolutely can't get through this alone. Everyone's experience is different, but many women have totally routine IUD insertions that are no big deal; the idea that a woman can't do that…

I'm not being sarcastic, actually. I went to my IUD insertion alone, like I go to all my routine doctor's appointments. I don't like the implication that women are fragile beings who need a man with them at all times. Why should anyone *cancel* a medical appointment because their boyfriend is a dick?

Wait... she WASN'T chugging OJ to make herself pee more????? I've never heard the Vitamin C thing. Mind = blown.

I COMPLETELY psyched myself out before getting mine inserted, because I had spent the entire night before reading all these horror stories about excrutiating pain/fainting/uncontrollable bleeding. I was a nervous wreck when I got there...and it ended up being totally fine. Just 10 seconds of discomfort, and it was…

"If your boyfriend doesn't want to accompany you to your IUD insertion appointment you should cancel the appointment, and then you should dump him."
