A newborn baby is 100% reliant on the mother for living but we don’t give her the choice to kill it.

Again, nope. There is literally nothing, not ONE THING, where we believe one individual has the right to another individual’s body. You are not entitled to someone’s kidney when your own is failing, you cannot harvest a corpse’s organs without expression permission, you may not force anyone to be a host or a surrogate…

Well denying date rape keeps that one or four times in college when they slipped their dick in without asking or after she said “No, I don’t want to go that far” fine behavior.

I can’t even fathom the courage it takes to speak out about this. Especially in the public eye, when there are MRAs who think it is fun to harass women on social media about things like this. And when people have no shame arguing whether they believe her or not.

Mine has been fine, but I had that problem with Nuvaring, which everyone kept trying to push at me for years after I decided it was not a feasible option. Like, I don’t care how comfortable and effective it is if it’s ruining my relationships because I never want to have sex. If I want to be celibate, I can make that…

My instructor in silks class was the same. She’d run into the city from a suburb- this would be about an hour run- and then kick everyone’s asses for 2 hours, and then run home. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the silks but they are two swaths of a material that’s similar to spandex and they’re attached to a 30'…

I have diagnosed ADHD and getting medication for it (I used to take Adderall, not I’m on Ritalin) is such a pain in the ass since so many people abuse it.

I really, really like to think that his parents named him JD after his brothers’ initials because they don’t love him and are just really upfront about their preference for Jonathan and Drew. I spend a lot of time thinking about their family dynamics.

The album will be called Shiplap.

Nobody has ever been able to figure out what gets men interested to lose their privilege in society, if anything. All human rights have been taken most of the time by force, political and social pressure and war, rarely just given. Therefore I’m not sure if there is any value in trying to get man to care about…

Because banning men from working in your restaurant is going to encourage men to care about equality?

There are sushi places owned by men with 100% male staff at every street corner in Japan. How many of those have you objected to because they don’t promote equality? But if there is ONE restaurant with all female staff, you get all huffy? At this ONE restaurant the staff is all female to prove that women can make…

People in the rosy-colored past she’s idealizing used to have kids and then abandon them to orphanages and workhouses, or even send them to jobs in other states/countries, because they couldn’t care for them. Employers in those days found kids to be a great commodity, because they’d mine coal and do dangerous factory…

It has changed children from a blessing to a commodity making it very hard to consider ourselves to be a civilized respectful rational society.

Good Grief, I am sorry for your profoundly nasty childhood. “Every child a wanted child” isn’t just a statement of intention, it’s also a prayer of sorts. I hope you realize now that you are a valuable and valued person, and that you are a being made of love. Your parents were just confused and unenlightened and…

I still remember being a young teenager and thinking, “Psh, if they didn’t want a baby, they shouldn’t have sex! I’m NEVER having sex until I’m MARRIED or ENGAGED.” OH PAST SELF, YOU SILLY, HORRIBLE, NAIVE TWERP. That was remedied a few years later when the boys in class caught up to girls, developmentally-speaking,…

Is it a wash? Ok then. So should we put a halt on births until all of the orphaned children are put in homes, and no longer in the care of the state? Unless you have a way to actually refute what I’ve said, unwanted children are just a very unfortunate, however inevitable situation. That does not negate the economic…

“I’m not sure why they should be able to demand they get additional benefits for doing so.”

Yeah, when I was in my early/mid-teens I was pro-life, because I didn’t know any better and listened to religious leaders that lied to further their agenda. So I definitely sympathize with young girls in that boat and hope they can get away from that. But when you have 40-year old women fighting against…

I'm so not feeling Steve Harvey's foray into Oprahdom. Quite frankly, I'm not interested in taking advice from either of them. If you were at a family gathering, Oprah would be that aunt that's ALWAYS on a new fad diet or self help phase. Her unsolicited advice would come in the form of daily affirmation emails…
