Me too. ME TOO. *Please no Lindelof this time.*

Even though I hated it I will probably see the rumored sequel. Hopefully I will not have to stand outside the cineplex afterward, shaking my fists at the sky and crying out, "Fool me twice?! Shame on meeeeee!"

I felt like there was some Grace Jones goin' on there, too.

Bartertown runs on Babe's poo. Truth.

You are missing out.

Your argument is that geeky men shouldn't have to put up with anti-harassment rules at cons because having to follow rules hurts their iddy biddy feewings. Lost on you (or maybe you just don't care) is the fact that anti-harassment rules both 1) make cosplaying women feel safer and 2) make cosplaying women safer…

Except that it's not for the "attention"-giver/harasser to decide whether their words or actions are welcome. That's for the recipient to decide.

Unless you're a mind reader (dressing as Professor X doesn't count), you don't know if a cosplaying woman wants to be photographed, touched, or spoken to in a sexual manner.…

As luck would have it, I have my troll-to-English pocket dictionary on me.

"realms of hysteria" = you wombs are always overreacting

"unrealistic standards of the otherwise decent people who attend such conventions" = you can't really expect us men to refrain from sexually harassing you women at Cons

"women are the…

Why do you think anti-harassment guidelines are "strict"?

If you're not groping or catcalling or taking skeevy photos, what concern is it to you that women (and men, too) are demanding that they not be groped, catcalled, or photographed unawares?

Good to see that a useful reaction GIF has come out of that travesty of a movie.

Actually, the idea that the risk of uterine rupture goes up after three c-sections is not backed up by empirical data. We simply don't know what her risk was because so few women have attempted VBAC after three previous c-sections.

A recent large-scale study put the risk of rupture after one c-section at 4 per 1000;…

No mother should be torturing herself over that. But it's not so out there to think that c-sections can lead to food sensitivities. Babies pick up healthy gut flora from the birth canal, whereas antibiotics that are given during c-section kill healthy gut flora.

Amen to that. I've had a scheduled c-section and a VBAC, and honestly I think most instances of mommy-warring judgey McJudgements come down to 1) internet misunderstandings and 2) media shit-stirring. In the real world, I find that most women just want to support each other.

Other women shouldn't be judging you. You shouldn't be judging other women.

C-sections don't always result in a healthy baby. They carry their own risks, such as birth injuries and hypoxia.

Even if the baby is healthy at birth, c-sections can lead to other health problems later by inhibiting bonding or breastfeeding.

"And after my first son was born I got so many "Oh I am so sorry you had a c-section" that it was ridiculous especially since I was so relieved and happy to have a healthy baby!"

Have you considered that perhaps your friends, family, and others were not judging you, but rather were just expressing sympathy that you…

I know, right? The risk of uterine rupture is there even with a planned c-section. What if she wanted a planned c-section, but unexpectedly went into labor two weeks before the surgery date? It's not like we can foresee and manage every risk. Having a trial of labor in a hospital setting is actually pretty reasonable.…

Repeat c-section also carries risks, including increased risks of uterine rupture, hemorrhage, and infant mortality. Whatever mode of delivery she was going to choose (or not choose), her risks were going to be high just because she'd already had three c-sections.

No. Vaccine denialism has been around since vaccines began.

And there are no known risks to the minute amounts of mercury and aluminum in vaccines.
