I promise you I definitely teach them accurately and don't single out any disease to scare them-trust me, as someone who grew up in Texas (and thus had a good ol' fear-mongering sex education), I know it definitely doesn't work and isn't responsible or tactful

I wasn't jumping on the bandwagon and I didn't mean to single it out. Perhaps I should have made a more broad statement, like "menstrual blood can transmit any blood-born pathogens." But I take issue with the fact that you insinuate, without any knowledge, that I teach students by simply singling out AIDS and fear…

I didn't venture into the conversation posting anything troll-like, so I don't know why think my voice has no place. I just mentioned it because a lot of the students I talk to genuinely don't know that menstrual blood can spread STDs or HIV/AIDS. We definitely teach that HIV spreads just like anything else you can…

Yeah, I didn't say that you could.

You say "can HIV be spread through menstrual blood? Sure." Even though the risk is low for most people, how is it alarmist to mention these risks? We do mention dental dams and do demonstrations. How is anything I said alarmist? I'm not trying to be rude (although you clearly aren't getting that message), I'm trying…

I'm not actively worrying about HIV nor do I need to seek psychiatric help. It's also really rude and uncalled for to insinuate that (seriously, what the actual fuck), but that's another thing entirely. But as a Peer Health Mentor at a large university, we see a lot of students that just don't understand some of the…

Um. You can get HIV/AIDS from coming into contact with menstrual blood.

The line was spoken by a Native American man, was it not? Who are you to decide whether his words/opinions about his people are in poor taste?

I was still in high school too, and not really?? A lot of people watched it too, although some of my guy friends said it was ridiculous

I am the world's biggest Duchess of Cambridge fan. I absolutely adore her style and grace and woke up at like 4 in the morning to watch the Royal Wedding.

I feel like I would probably just be like, "ah, fuck it, I've been in a car for 20 hours, let's do it big."

OH my god I forgot that they stopped selling certain things. Good point

...why didn't she just get a salad or a parfait if this stuff makes her so ill?

That awkward girl attempting to place condoms on bananas in front of the entire class? That's me! I'm a Peer Health Educator at my university and we do condom demonstrations on fake plastic penises (they come in a shocking amount of sizes and colors!) The giggles that ensue from college kids could make me blush, but I…

This is a really stupid question, but besides coloring, is the lemon beagle any different (size, behavior, etc.) than regular beagles? They're adorable!

Ok. Slightly off-topic, but I called Wendy Davis' Fort Worth office yesterday to thank her and the lady that answered (assuming it's a secretary) was SO sweet and thankful. CALL HER, JEZZIES! Even if you don't live in TX.

I think he's probably the sexiest man I've ever seen.

I mean goddamn.

I didn't know that the wait/restrictions were that long, wow! It's wonderful that there are more domestic adoptions and families that can pay the fines for more than one child. My point was just that historically, there have been many, many baby girls in China that have been put up for adoption and that if a loving…
