Baby, you just made me cry. OMG, I have had patients with anhedonia and it is the scariest state to hit a person short of going catatonic. No joy no light nada. I am so sorry this happened to you. I fucking hate drunk drivers.

It has taken me a while to respond to these offers of help, because words failed me, quite literally. That isn't something that used to happen to me. I was the only writer I knew that had never gotten a rejection slip. Who wrote six weekly newspaper columns at the end of a month from memory, only writing down the

I read it as kind of sarcastic or jokey. Like, if you can't write a good female character, the odds of being able to understand that women are just people are slim. Just telling somebody who can't write a female character to write a cool female character like the women you know might not be helpful advice because

Alderman makes it sound like there's a magical formula to writing women that's completely different and even opposed to how you would write a man. Kinda echos the stereotypical belief that women are magical, mystical creatures that nobody will ever understand, regardless of how well you may know any women.

In bulk! Damn, you must have a kinder system than mine—I know, when I have to take it, that I'm in for two weeks of weeping and mood-swings.

Good. A pharmacist's job is to give me the medicine I'm allowed to have by a doctor and by the law. Not to moralize.

Especially since emergency contraception is less dangerous than aspirin (or cold meds, or laxatives, or so on...)

OK, let's assume you're a decent dad (it's not an easy leap for me, but I'll try and take it), and your daughter is comfortable talking to you about her sex life, her vagina, her ovaries...and all her womanly bits. Great, she's going to come to you and talk about that with you.

Mmm, slippery slopes are extra slippery at lunch time!

we got a CVS pharmacist bible thumper fired from his job after he refused to sell my gf Plan B

In your first statement it sounds like you don't understand how a woman could want to prevent a baby, but not want to ask someone for a pill that proves we have had unprotected sex. And that makes no sense at all to me.

Just because someone doesn't have a huge amount of self-confidence or has some trouble be assertive does NOT mean they are incompetent of making decisions for themselves. I find it funny that you think someone who lacks the confidence to stand up for their rights should be denied plan B (and likely also an abortion)

I lmfao when people use language like "alpha" and "beta" sounds like dudes seriously over estimating themselves.

Ugh, one time I bought Plan B AND a pack of condoms, and I got an eye roll. I wanted to say, "Look, I am solving this problem, OK!" but instead I ducked my head and got out of there.

This guy also wrote on the flu shot article.

Well, believe it.

The only thing I can think of is this: The whole "holier than thou", gatekeeper bullshit that comes along with so many subcultures & scenes. When I was young, the idea that there were girls enjoying Star Trek:TNG for example, never crossed my mind. I admit, I may have been a bit hasty with my conclusion.

Dat ass.
