I'm not making them to people. I was thanking the original OP for saying what she said & then elaborating. I wasn't judging someone else's experience.

Thank you! I hear EVERYTHING you are saying. That is why I really want to just get over all these little pernicious doubts & worries. I want to get to the point where I don't even become defensive by what people say. I suppose I have just found it super shocking that this kind of shit can start SO EARLY. It blows my…

Like I said in another response, I have had SEVERAL women say that they are pro-abortion rather than pro-choice. I never knew it was a thing so know when even talking about it I use both terms. I don't think women should feel any which wayt about anything, but why is it so hard for some of you to accept the fact that…

I have been told by quite a few women that they are pro-abortion rather than pro-choice. I never even knew that was a thing.

um, that is far from happening so don't you fret.

Don't put words in my mouth. I am one of those women who feel very silenced about sharing my experience because of rabid pro abortion advocates. I'm not horrified by peoples feelings, i'm horrified by those who are so rabid about feeling nothing at all.

Admittedly I may look down on some people, but not necessarily people who disagree with me or hold different views/perspectives/opinions... I certainly do not look down on people who have abortions or want abortions.

EVERYONE should be careful about who they have a child with. Period. Historically men have ALWAYS had the option of walking away with little to no repercussions. Fuck the fuck out of that. Everyone can piss and moan about how men are now being held more accountable for the children they help bring into the world. Boo…

And here is a picture of my baby for your Jezebel comment thread!

You know, thank you for this. Thank you. As much as I find myself completely horrified by anti choicers I also often find myself horrified by the complete opposite, the idea that having an abortion is akin to simply shedding skin cells or something. I had an abortion when I was very young & in an abusive relationship.…

Shout out to Nina Compton competing on Top Chef! I'm rooting for you all the way!!!

Right? Just look at my baby!

Oh god... *sigh* This really fucking sucks. My daughter is 5 months old & weighs 20 lbs and I'm already getting snotty looks from our pediatrician, not to mention the fact that dumbasses abound ask me if I had gestational diabetes and if that is why she is such a big baby. This on top of comments like "Well, she isn't…

Ahhh white people & their dictionaries. You are too ignorant of what you are even trying to discuss to have any further discussion with you about it.

How about you just not call or condone others calling others racist names? Or is that too hard or too silly for you?

Chester M Hanks can fuck his own face.

I can't use hankies... Too small. I use full on bandanas and head scarves. My nose don't play.

Well we all know about appropriation don't we? I think it is one thing when you are talking about yourself, the kind of life you live, where you live, and the troubles that come your way. It is an ENTIRELY other thing for someone from WAY outside of your experience to label you something. It's bullshit and it doesn't…

Turn Dan Simmon's Hyperion series into a TV show!!!! PLEASE

This is why I continue to let my freak flag fly. By freak flag I mean a full on raging bush. That and I'm just lazy as fuck when it comes to personal grooming beyond the absolute necessities.
