That little girl is so cute, but the male that cannot finish his sentence when she cuts her eyes back at dad? That cracks me up even more.

That is precious. More importantly: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MAN WHO IS EXACTLY THAT FINE?! Jesus.

This shows the way in which we are so vested in picking apart victims's testimony about their rapes, adamant that they have unassailable crystal clear versions of events even if they can't because the events themselves are traumatic, hazy, and might be too horrible to remember (Like Lena Dunham's Buzzfeed piece

Maybe it isn't that Jackie is the "wrong person to represent" and actually this article is a complete clusterfuck. .

If only journalists put as much effort attempting to prove somebody was raped as they have, here, trying to prove somebody wasn't.

She would probably again point to the retroflex/retroverted/tilted uterus as the reason why they couldn't hear the heartbeat. It does make it hard to hear the heartbeat in the first trimester (or about 15 weeks in my case but the doctors had confirmed that I had a hidey uterus and did lots of bloodwork and

Yeah, let me fix that. You get to a point with these stories where neither you nor editor can even see the words anymore because you've read them so many times.

I completely agree. If I started to feel the physiological symptoms of pregnancy, I would also be skeptical of anyone- even a medical professional- essentially telling me that what i'm physically feeling was "incorrect". Maternal instinct would kick in and I'd be asking for a second opinion too. I don't think I'd

I'd rather she fart than defend Bill Cosby.

Whoops. Too late to edit, but I hope RUBY gets the help she needs.

This poor woman. I realize that the likelihood of her being pregnant is slim to none, and yet what really strikes me about the situation is how horrible it is to be a woman whom no one believes. That, and doctors and their precious egos.

While tangentially related, delusional disorder is not the same thing as schizophrenia. The saddest part is that antipsychotics don't work very well in these patients.

The thing about delusional disorders is that no amount of evidence will dissaude them. They will find some other theory to explain what is happening, but that theory won't be reality-based either.

Asperger's Syndrome doesn't cause delusions, isn't really a mental illness, and would have nothing to do with her having pregnancy symptoms.

She DOES fart willy nilly on the air, and I give zero fucks about natural. It's natural for everyone to fart, piss & shit. You don't have to do it around other people. It's natural for humans to piss & shit themselves, too- but, we train babies not to do that. The proper place is the toilet, not the living room floor.

This is incredibly sad. Really well reported, Anna.

There is a hilariously uncomfortable episode of Louie, where Louis CK's pregnant sister comes to visit and stays with him. She wakes up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach pain, convinced that something is horribly wrong with the baby and she is going into early labor. They rush her to the emergency room,

My best guess would be that at some point in the next month or two, when she has to change her delusions because at 7-8 months it will be obvious to even her, she'll have a "very heavy flow" and be utterly convinced for the rest of her life it was a very late miscarriage caused by all the mental anguish she was put

I hate people that do this kind of thing. If I was at that table, I'd want to immediately locate her purse, & take a hot, wet shit in it. I always think that people who think this is okay are also probably hygiene- challenged in other ways, as in they'll totally make you a sandwich without washing their hands, cuz

Something, something, Whoopi Cushion. (<—Someone help me out.)
