For the benefit of all moms, future moms, and happily child-free friends of moms, I will share the words of my amazing pediatrician when it became clear that breastfeeding was not going to work for me and my son despite my increasingly frantic efforts:

I once told a dude that and his response was "I don't believe you." Seriously. If a lady gives you that line, that means she's not into it. Otherwise she wouldn't have given you that line.

He didn't though. He was single and shared a 2-bedroom place on Nob Hill with a roommate. Exactly like I was at the time.

As a gay white man this comment thread is hysterical, but I guess this is what happens when a bunch of disingenuous internet social justice wars, who don't really know anything they are talking about, and have never actually participated in the communities they claim to defend, try to fight each other about who is…

Don't worry, though, there's no such thing as rape culture, and women should feel totally flattered and not at all threatened when men hit on them.

What a tragic thing to have happened. I hope her family can mourn and find peace.

OMG sometimes i can't. Even talking about gender equality enrages people?! Not trying to take over, EQUALITY?! im done

"You're welcome Meghan, and maybe one day, hey, you'll even be thankful."

5 hours is not a lifetime in labor!! Took 24 hours after my water broke both times. I should've wrestled a mugger.

I mean c'mon Rebecca . . . YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HER CERVIX DILATING EITHER!!!! Or how many contractions she had per minute!!!!1111

The literal people of the world need our extra patience and guidance - bless them. That and something tells me ole Jellyhead is a man who has little experience of being heavily…

1) She didn't "slap him and then he punched her" so immediately your premise is off. Here's what actually happened between Ray Rice and Janay Palmer:

This is concern trolling. How many women have the physique and fighting skills of Ronda Rousey? Seriously. How many women in this country are trained in hand to hand combat, martial arts, and have the musculature/body mass to back it up? For you to drag her name into this under the pretense of trying to bring…

Damn right. I'd be elated if they'd lose their non-profit status, because they're not... they're ALL about profit.

BRILLIANT. That image is pure brilliance. Every sponsor has to get the DV meme treatment. Money is the only organ where the NFL and its sponsors feel pain.

Oh and has anyone else noticed that our "male allies" tend to spend more time mansplaining to women how to be Better Feminists than they do educating/smacking down other men? Ahem.

It's amazing how low the bar is for the "man-hater" accusation against women. Sick of patriarchal oppression and men patting themselves on the back for FINALLY recognizing a small subset of women/girls as people and talking heads blaming women for the abuses committed against them and voters electing politicians who…

I see you haven't let the fact that you allegedly care about these issues stop you from being a patronizing jackass to women. Very few men care about these issues, period. But nice try trying to spin it into *my* character flaw.

Men don't care about women's issues/women until one of their orgasms contributes to the creation of a baby girl (and sometimes even that won't do the trick) :shrug:

Yeah, I went to catholic school from K all the way through high school graduation and knew I was never coming back by grade 7. It took me a little bit to purge myself of the major Catholic guilt, but I sure as shit have no intention of putting any kids I have through the mind control, self-hatred-inducing crap I dealt…

I hate his face. It makes me want to push him off of his Segway and let my cat scratch his balls to shreds. While all of this is going on my daughter would be screaming "turn down for what???!!!" at the top of her lungs.
