I'm glad this weird-ass thing exists, and that I can see photos of it - but man, it sounds awful to actually attend.

Heat is not my friend. And this would be heat + overpowering B.O.

I bet you're a special little flower.

Thank you for opening up. We lost our baby girl just last week for the very same reason. I know we're not alone, but it brings me some comfort to always know that we weren't the only ones faced with this tragic decision. I miss her every day.

That's a judgement call that i'm sure the writer of the announcement ran past the couple, either implicitly or explicitly. I cannot see this being printed without the writer asking the couple, "is this okay to write about?" It's the way she told it though. To go through something unexpected and difficult and have it…

I couldn't put my finger on why, as a pro-choice advocate, this so weirded me out. I shuddered when I read it. You found the perfect way to describe it.

Right there with you. I'm 100% pro-choice. I don't care why you want an abortion. I don't care how you got pregnant. I don't care whether you were using birth control or not. I don't care if you've had an abortion(s) before this one. I am your girl, get in the car, let's go. But this is very odd to me to include in a…

in some cases it's also a big fuck you to what the fetus needs - in my case we found out in the second trimester that our fetus was missing a large portion of his brain. to have that child would have been a big "fuck you" to him and most definitely not an act of love as he would have been a vegetable his entire life.

Absolutely progress, and very nice to see, but "I am not the biggest fan of abortion" just makes me very tired. Everyone is always sure that abortion is bad until they need it. And then it's still bad in general; it's just okay for them because they really needed it. This is just as true (if not more so) for the…

I was mocked and called names throughout my entire childhood. It didn't stop until I got out of highschool and grew boobs. Hey stringbean, bean pole, stick. Go eat a sandwich. Constant. I had multiple nurses call my mother to ask if I ate, because I "couldn't possibly be healthy" It's not my fault I was too skinny, I…

I was reeeeeaaally super skinny as a teenager and had a couple mortifying experiences with one teacher who sent other girls to the bathroom with me to make sure I wasn't purging. Also, many awkward, misguided discussions about body-image with the school guidance counselor. For the most part, being thin probably…

I want to start by saying that you make some really good points, and I acknowledge and agree with them all . But, when you say the impact is smaller, you mean the cultural impact. The impact on the individual woman can be just as devastating. At the end of the day, if a girl goes home feeling worthless because people…

It's a good thing your boss worried about something for no reason and was none of her business. She sounds great.

"We have legislated all the equality in leave possible" —> O RLY? Are you writing to me from a more civilized developed country than the US?

I for one, fully endorse "getting in close" when you are flirting with me. How else will I be able to jam my heel into your instep with the force I want if you're not all up in my personal space?

No, that's not what you've been arguing in your previous posts. You don't agree with me at all, believe me. Because you've spent your time here today pleading for gentle understanding and a rather tawdry mischaracterisation of sexual predation as a mere "kink". You've been explicitly criticising those people who are…
