When it comes to having a beer, I disagree because there is a lot of evidence that your brain is still developing until age 23, so the drinking age is actually related to health and is not just the government-as-babysitter. I agree with your argument more when it comes to smoking. Absent good, scientific explanation,…

Yeah I wasn't using "the worst" literally. Americans suck, too. There are a lot of "the worsts" in this beautiful world.

Seriously, though, Australia is the WORST and this kind of thing happens all the time there. When I was there during Halloween in 2008, several people dressed up like "Abos" by which they meant Australian Aboriginals and thought nothing of it. Take your tourism dollars to beautiful, perfect New Zealand instead!

That makes a ton of sense! Thank you!

serious question: Can someone explain to me why we heap all of our racial/class diversity hopes and dreams only on white women and not on white men? Why do we vilify Lena Dunham and Diable Cody and not James Franco? Is it because white men are so privileged we don't expect anything from them, whereas we expect women…

Disagree. Everyone is allowed to have his or her own personal views of things and if you think contraception is morally objectionable, that's your right. The solution? Don't fucking use contraception. Your personal religious views have nothing to do with my healthcare coverage even if I work for you. You chose to own…

I really don't understand why everyone thinks Miley's heading for a breakdown. She's not Lindsey, she's not even Beiber. She's still working hard, being responsible, only doing drugs at appropriate young-person times... she's just a bad artist. Being a bad artist does not equal breakdown.

People are already weird about their baby's weight! My aunt is a pediatrician who works with "failure to thrive" babies, babies who are mostly underweight, and whenever she sees a baby on the streets she says to the parents, "what a beautiful, fat baby!" by which she means a HEALTHY and not MALNOURISHED baby. The…

I, for one, choose to blame the babies and not the mothers, and I think the clear solution is baby body shaming. Make sure to expose your fetus, especially the female ones, to a lot of main-stream media and then offer them subscriptions to Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. It can't fail!

well... she is talking about planes, snails, and monsters so... isn't female more appropriate? You wouldn't call a gendered-plane a woman...

Is that a picture of a civet? I agree there is a resemblance, but that creature's face is anything but sweet...

sorry, needed to rant.

UGH!

Sorry, I hope that wasn't insensitive of me, I'm just very interested in your experience. And you can still become a mother if you want to!

I am super afraid of this. I'm only 25 and feel fairly certain that I don't want children. I just.. don't like babies or kids. I don't enjoy their company and I'm not good with them. But I'm afraid I'll wake up one day and feel some weird and overwhelming biological urge, and then it will be too late.

What about kissing?! That can also involved pursing your lips...

If only politicians felt the same way about decisions regarding the vaginas they do not and have never owned. "I have a personal preference regarding abortion, but it's a private decision that I won't meddle in because I have never had a vagina, and even if I have one, I've never had your vagina, so I won't presume to…

My boyfriend is uncircumcised, and blowing him is both easier and more enjoyable than blowing my circumcised bfs was. There is absolutely increased sensitivity, plus there is no need for lube when he masturbates! I am now totally on team uncircumcised when it comes to considerations of sexual pleasure. But... it's…

I thought that, technically, abortion to save the life of the pregnant woman was already legal in Ireland, there was just no guideline for how the policy would be implemented. This Bill just defines when and how you can give a life-saving abortion (ie who needs to approve it, what constitutes "life-saving" etc.) so…

I would love some advice on getting a breast reduction, if you feel like talking about it. I'm currently a 36 G and would love to go down to even a D, but I'm scared of surgery, even if it's relatively minor. What was the recovery time like? was there pain? Did your insurance cover it? If you don't mind I'd love to…
