And, just to be clear, I wasn’t coming after you or criticizing your wording. “Pro-life” is still what it seems a majority of people are using.

Which, by the by, happens ALL THE TIME. There have been plenty of male Lady MacBeths, Juliets, Clytemnestras, you name it. Hell, for most of recorded Western history ALL roles were played by males! And modern theater is rife with them. They’re considered Brave and shit.
There are no “pro-lifers”, in my opinion. Many of them care nothing about the lives or welfare of the children once they leave the womb.
Unfortunately, I think that abortion advocates of a couple of decades ago gave some real concession to these wackadoodles, in an attempt to find common ground, when they put forth the whole “safe, legal, and rare” rhetoric. They went with the whole idea that every abortion is a tragedy and that every woman who has one…
Except the pill literally probably wouldn’t stop the “murder”, which just makes this more ludicrous.
There are 4000 (FOUR THOUSAND) anti-abortion “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” (aka: CPCs, Fake Clinics) in the U.S., and these places promote this dangerous misinformation AND most are funded with state taxpayer dollars, even though they aren’t regulated. In contrast, there are only 780 abortion providers in the U.S., most…

Oh yes, how alienating it must feel to have to see the world from the perspective of a lady! It’s so unfair for the show to expect male viewers to be able to relate to the fundamentally unfamiliar nature of the ~female gaze.~ So much erasure of male worldviews...
I’ve seen every existing (and some now lost) episode of Doctor Who. I’ve enjoyed some parts more than others, some doctors more than others, some stories more than others. And I’m delighted at the prospect of a female Doctor.
Correct. Dadtaku stories are written for parents to say “oh man yes this is bad i understand this”, not for teenagers to give unsolicited parenting advice.
Yeah, I know I’ve “caught” (I say caught, but I don’t want it to sound like she’s wrong, but it’s kind of the word that fits) one of the women eating in the bathroom. She’ll smuggle cake or lunch and bolt it down in the bathroom stall, presumably so her cube mates don’t harass her.
This office breakroom talk makes it soooo hard to feel like you can participate in office life. My first job after university was in a really small office and the other two women I sat with were constantly talking about diets, food, trying some new fad, ect. It made the environment really really awful because I…
Also, it’s one helluva competitive disease. We all seem to sickly want the gold medal in eating disorders.
Sometimes I’ll try to be like “no, you’re allowed to eat anything!” or “one cookie won’t kill you” in like an offhand, jokey voice, because I’m so scared if I talk about it too much I’ll be some weird food pusher or everyone will know about my weird history with food, which I still really struggle with discussing.…
I’ve never seen any of these films (my age and my unwillingness to be triggered has prevented me), but I really wish there were more movies that talked about diet culture and how it leads to EDs.
Not sure I see what the problem is. Fair and balanced is fair and balanced.
I assume Jake Gyllenhaal is busy?
I’m just saying, this kind of thing never happens at a steakhouse.
