I realize it’s not exactly the same - but my SO takes GREAT pride in the fact that he keeps a spare tampon in his work/travel bag in case I am ever in need. As in, the second I say I’ve got my period, he is like, “BABY I HAVE THAT TAMPON FOR YOU LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS HAD” and he is so eager I take the tampon, even if I’m…

Even if it is just a way for him to interact with the ladies, I’ll take “guy who isn’t creeped out by my period and packs heat in his fanny pack” over “guy who tells me I’m hot” EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!

Exactly! My husband and I are both educated professionals with 3 adorable little girls. Trying to find a rental that isn’t horribly gross and unsafe while still trying to pay off our student loans is a nightmare. We’re one missed paycheck from the streets. The majority of our friends in their 30's have opted never to…

Yeah, I wouldn’t even characterize it as “manipulating” the equilibrium as much as just “shaping” it. I think “manipulating” implies that there’s some natural supply/demand balance outside of human intervention, when in reality, supply and demand are human-created, and fluctuate according to rules that we create, not…

Absolutely. This is the boat I’m in right now, pretty much. I’d love to buy a house at some point in my life—ideally sooner rather than later, since I’d rather be building equity than throwing rent money into a black hole. But I’m currently spending a significant amount of my income on rent (and I don’t live…

I don’t think people realize how much has crept out of reach for a lot of millennials. To buy a 2 bedroom house in my city, in a relatively decent neighborhood, that doesn’t need serious renovations will cost you north of $450 000. You need to be making more than $66 000 a year to have your housing expenses be only…

Hmm. So, once again, the party that decries “government in between you and your doctor,” slams into the examining room to dictate unneeded, expensive and dangerous procedures designed to do nothing more than complicate a fairly safe procedure.

There are a lot of reasons why general anesthesia is dangerous:

I’m going to read that article, so thanks for sharing. I wanted to add that the original concept of having less started from a good place. I fought and insisted until my husband agreed we could leave his giant grand Victorian house in a happening neighborhood because we didn’t need a three-story house. We didn’t need…

Yep. The tiny house thing is very cool, and a really great option ... for SOME people with very specific circumstances. It’s not a solution for our country’s housing woes. There is a systemic problem here that needs to be dealt with.

You are far more likely to die from being administered general anesthesia than you are when you receive an abortion. This law is unadulterated misogyny.

If this box is rockin’ don’t bother knockin’!

Oh, I think they understand it. I just don’t think they care... (just like with the Planned Parenthood/fedal tissue thing. They know it’s not actually a problem... they don’t care)

Something you need to understand about this: THEY DO NOT CARE IF WOMEN DIE GETTING ABORTIONS. In fact, they’d probably be smugly pleased about the whore getting her just deserts for killing her “baby.” The more difficult, the more dangerous, and the more expensive they can make abortion, the better. The idea of women…

I wonder how he feels about inflicting pain on new borns - does he also oppose circumcision?

And you can guarantee they’ll now require all doctors to have admitting privileges (if it’s not already a law), because of the danger of anesthesia.

because knocking people unconscious for no reason is dangerous

When we did the reglazing, we didn’t have to vacate the house, just stay away from the bathroom and keep it closed. The tub was from an old house with a weird size that we could not find a replacement for (that wasn’t thousands of dollars to buy or ship).

Thanks, I’ve only quickly scanned this since I’m getting ready for bed, but it seems like there is no protocol for testing on men, which I was wondering about. It just makes me wonder because I know that adults do not always exhibit symptoms and, considering how frequently my husband travels, even if we keep waiting…
