"This bizarre "take your medicine" attitude that reflects a profound distrust in women's ability to decide things about their own situations — when it comes to sterilization, birth control, and even reporting rape."

I have nothing to add but if there was some sort of like or fave button, I would have clicked it here.

It's not an old wives' tale, I've had multiple doctors and nurses tell me I need to pee right afterward. In my experience it has helped the most and cut my UTIs/bladder infections down to 2 this year compared to 4 the previous two years. The few times in recent memory I opted to stay and cuddle, I was rewarded with…

Here's one from when she was younger, got that square pit head & big ol chest

Look at that sweetie! Looks JUST like our Millie who was also a rescue, same expression and everything (except our's is getting chubbier every day!) We know she's part English Pointer and we've always guessed some Pittie ('cause she's got that big ol block head) Is your's tail cropped and if not is it like super long…

I've already shared this story elsewhere, but my boyfriend was offered an associateship right out of law school as did his friend and classmate, a married woman with two children. They took almost all the same classes, except she got her certificate in insurance and he missed it by one class, and were involved in the…

In my opinion, you just seek out someone whose personality balances yours. While I could not look any more different from my SO's mother, we have very similar personalities and worldviews going so far as to band together against my SO and his dad when they are being unreasonable because they are so similar. My SO…

My grandfather is 84-years-old. When he comes over he pretty much just watches TV in silence till it's time for dinner/to go home. Except two weeks ago when a campaign ad came on and then all he said was: "Nothing dumber than a poor republican."

Confession: I've totally cheated on a Presidential Physical Fitness Test. At least twice. What are they gonna do? Revoke my citizenship?

So, I'm some sort of were-republican that transforms during the full menses? Sure, that makes sense.

OK, I love to chat. If some stranger is looking for a conversation, most of the time I'm happy to oblige. Now, not always, but for sure more than half of the time with strange men, if my boyfriend comes up in conversation (Unavoidable in topics such as: Why I moved here, what I do for fun, my pets, what I'm doing…

Ugh, this reminds me of one young woman I went to high school with who every time she tried to leave her boyfriend, he would threaten to kill himself and twice attempted it! Yes, he needed help, but would you insist that young woman stay forever with a man she didn't like (and by now is frightened of?) just because…

I don't know how old your brother is, but if he's younger make sure he knows language like "Boobies" can be seen as crude or offensive by some men and women, may make women uncomfortable, and to really put thought into when and where he wears it.

Your equation is a simple and elegant summary of what's wrong with these awareness campaigns, thank you.

I'd like to remind you that Save the Ta-Tas is only an awareness campaign and donates no money they make to research or helping those with breast cancer pay for their treatment, other related care or transportation.

Um, I'm a grown woman and so are the vast majority of those diagnosed with breast cancer. Referring to breasts as "Second Base" is infantile and furthermore, completely disconnected from the reality that is living with or watching someone battle breast cancer. Second Base, really? I'm seeing red. No, sorry, I'm seeing…

Would you wear a t-shirt that said "Save the Butt Button" to benefit prostate cancer awareness?

One reason for this proliferation, specifically your Swamp People, Sons of Guns, Bayou Billionnaires and Duck Dynasty, are the tax breaks/incentives and increasing presence of the film industry in Louisiana*. Lots of major films have shot here recently but in the mean time, industry types gotta make do with what's on…

I hope they feature a scene of the couple sitting down with a calculator and figuring out their student loan debt and going "Eh, we'll probably have to push that wedding out another year" like my boyfriend and I do every few months.
