The suit isn't flattering, and she's squinting into the sun. Normally she's really gorgeous.

I hate how much criticism is thrown her way for looking "dirty." Like, her being unkempt (you know, kind of like how you would look if you were out having a really awesome time) is such an offense?

Right? "And condoms shouldn't be allowed because I wouldn't be here if my parents had used one! What's your point?"

That's hilarious! I'd do that just because someone was banging on my car, even if they weren't a crazy pro-lifer!

I realize that, I guess I just feel like... Engaging that argument at all is counter-productive, you know? It needs to be shut down with a "doesn't matter," rather than "well that doesn't happen" (which leaves the door open that it's still a bad thing if/when it does happen, y'know?).

Yeah... It can really suck when you're pro-choice and yet your experience is spun to suit someone else's agenda (one with which you don't even agree).

Yep, I feel this way. Maybe I'm getting older, but I'm not so bothered by people for whom a fetus has a soul or whatever it is that makes them consider it an actual life, and therefore, believe that an abortion is ending a life. Period. I get that, even if I fundamentally disagree.

It was definitely clumsily worded, and could be interpreted as "well you should still feel bad." She could have been more clear.

Well you're right that it makes no sense, but the point is, that's completely besides the point. Even if a woman does exactly that - if she has zero forethought when having sex and thinks "meh, even if I do get pregnant, I'll just terminate!" - then who the fuck cares? It's a surgical procedure. It's hers to have as…

Here fucking here! I don't fucking care why a woman wants an abortion. I don't care whether she was raped* or whether she just had a one-night stand and forgot to take her Plan B the next day. I don't care whether her husband left her after finding out she was pregnant or if she just doesn't want to put on a lot of…

Like there are a whole group of women who just screw and get sucked out a couple times a month because its so convenient to schedule, pay for and recover from the procedure (especially in the States. I hear its a breeze down there!)

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where the author was advocating for social media access by prisoners.

It sounded to me like she was simply saying "the number of rapes reported vs how many of those are false accusations" as basically a way of saying the percentages of reports that are false. If that makes sense.

My version of cleaning the kitchen includes spraying down the counters with 409 and scrubbing the food-crud off of them. My husband's definition stops at washing the dishes. RAGESTROKE.

My husband would rather wash dishes by hand than unload the dishwasher. Wouldn't be a problem, except he does it very badly.

I have my own issues with that book, but these paragraphs nail it so fucking well that I can't hate it. I can't.

This isn't being "petty."

What are toddler boogers made of, anyway? Fucking rubber cement? Those bastards get all crusty around the nostrils and on the cheeks and WILL NOT COME OFF without a good hard scrubbing, and that makes my kid scream. I buy those "Boogie Wipes" every freaking week.

You're one of my fav Jez moms :)

Awwww. Cute but completely legit at the same time.
