Oh, you know, because its not like plenty of women undergo first trimester surgical abortions without the benefit of painkillers (“locals”) because they can’t afford the extra cost or anything. Or that it would have been an breech of medical ethics to allow a patient to leave after the clinic the uterus had been…

“Calhoun also apparently didn’t contact Gravely for a full year to tell her he’d supposedly seen a skull in her uterus;”

“Nancy, what the fuck are you talking about, please.”

I’m related to Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy, and a number of my relatives were in the KKK. Not something I’m proud of. But I’ve found the best way to face having slave-owning, racist ancestors is to unwaveringly support the rights of african-americans and other minorities, instead of wallowing in…

Dude. You’ve been a netizen this long and have not stumbled across a ‘buried trauma of my lost foreskin’ thread? I am amaze. I think it’s one of those unfortunate side effects of the internet where people didn’t really worry too much about a thing until someone brought it up and then got like... ‘WAIT! STOP! THIS…

and i used to troll around on 4chan on occasion. unsurprisingly, there is a hoard of #notallreddit in my mentions, which i expected, and a hoard of people saying jez/kinja doesnt do this nice thing reddit does!- when i have evidence to the contrary.

Yes to everything you said. Also, the number of people who have rescued animals and reddit joined together to pay for vet bills, etc. is amazing. Makes me cry every time.

No it’s fucking not. Seriously, there are a HANDFUL of bad subreddits, in relationship to the literal THOUSANDS of really helpful and positive space.

Some I like:
BigBoobProblems
A bra that fits
Cool guides (it has printable guides for damn near everything and can be a great resource when you’ve lost a guide you need)
Fr…

That’s so true. Just look at the tantrums they throw whenever Valleywag snarks them.

I stay on the knitting and quilting threads, and people are lovely! I like to pretend it’s not actually reddit, because the rest of it is so awful. But if you’re a maker, it’s a pretty supportive place, weirdly.

I don’t understand this perspective. I know there are assholes on Reddit (as there are on Gawker), but I read the French language subreddit as well as one about jogging, both of which seem to be populated by normal people, and so I don’t understand the generalizing.

Am I wrong for seeing why that guy thought it could be a circumcision satire? The anti-pro circumcision movements aren’t really aesthetically or tonally different from the I’m a Mommy SO THERE! genre...

it’s like not even the dudebros. it’s just HOW FUCKING ABOVE IT ALL they general seem to think they are? like 4chan embraces their shitty basement dwelling selves. they know, in general, that the loudest part of their comentariat are juvinile, petty dicks. reddit seems to think itself so far above it all when they are…

Ok but did Jezebel just introduce me to a funnier version of themselves? Have they sealed their own fate?

Believe me, Juggalos are way less scary than many other subcultures originating among downscale whites. Better a Juggalo than an Oath Keeper, I say.

Don’t you understand that expelling a child from your womb gives you a PhD in pretty much all child-related topics and gives you a new, enlightened view of the world that no one else could possibly have? Every sanctimommy on the planet knows this!

yeah but most of those things dont happen to boys* so it doesnt matter

If I haven’t already heard something in a thousand shitty stand up routines how am I supposed to know it’s a joke?

They should have figured out it wasn’t by a real Juggalo when they noticed all the words were spelled correctly.

I’ve gotten so tired of people with the “I’m a mom, so these are my views that aren’t remotely backed up in science"
