This garbage is what happens when marijuana, an unchecked ego, and a thesaurus are readily available at all hours of the day.

And now those “feminists” are pulling up the ladder behind them so no other women have those opportunities.

The op-ed is behind a paywall. And all jokes aside, I’ve noticed “conservative feminism” gaining steam lately on the right. Ivanka Trump is the most visible face, but a bunch of other women (mostly thin, white, blonde Christian women in sheath dresses and pearls) are held up as right-wing feminist icons because…

I can’t watch it. 7th grade FOREVER? Like the time when I publically didn’t know what a hickey was and it was the guy who was a good friend but who I secretly liked more than anyone else ever in the world who told me what it was (he had older brothers) and I almost expired of embarrassment right there in math? Or when…

As someone with a family member who actually decided, after praying with her preacher husband (my uncle) to forgo chemo as it was unnatural and therefore of the devil, flew to a “medical” center in Mexico for church approved treatment (part of which was over a month of 7x a day coffee enemas), don’t be shocked if…

Ugh. I do wish there were more viable options outside of hormonal birth control. I am one of those women who developed side effects. At one point, I was thinking about the copper IUD, even though the insertion process makes me so nervous. Unfortunately, for other health reasons, I’m not a good candidate for an IUD. So…

They strive to be a place where any racism that happens is not documented on a widely shared video.

I hope no one is persuaded by this bullshit. Having the ability to control ones reproduction is not remotely the same as “making womblessness normative”. It’s definitely true that medical science prioritizes men and male bodies, but having access to a birth control pill is a genuinely good thing for women.

Yep. I live in Portland. I had more people calling/texting to check-in/make sure I was ok when ANTIFA was supposedly burning down the city (the protests were pretty much limited to 2-3 blocks downtown, Mr Bonkfluff works downtown, has yet to be accosted by ANTIFA), compared to now, when the city was under actual…

Yeah EXACTLY. And you know what? I was a person who was like “oh this isn’t scary” when I had my first kid. And it wasn’t! I had great doctors, everything was fine, I recovered nicely. Lah did dah, right?

I have a better idea. Once Ted squeezes the entire watermelon out, nothing happens. He gains no rights of any kind, because he is and always will be a total asshole. 

The idea that pregnancy isn’t dangerous has the same root as why people don’t think measles are dangerous. We’ve made pregnancy so safe (even with how dangerous it still is!) that people have forgotten the historical death toll. Measles used to ravage populations, and women used to die in childbirth all the time. It…

Every once in a while I consider how many friends’ funerals I’d have been to by now if not for access to good OB care, and it’s absolutely staggering. Of my dozen or so fondest girlfriends, I’d have five left. Three of those do not have kids. One would have had a stillbirth. Only one had an uncomplicated pregnancy and …

Those methods are meant to give a road map for human interaction for the anxious, but I don’t know how one works out from there to show a genuine personality or transitions into normal conversation if the gimmicks lead the way.

And we will find out. We always do. Low self-esteem. Mommy issues. Ex issues. Drama. Anxiety. Controlling nature. Possessiveness. Anger. Jealousy. Entitlement. Paranoia.

Becoming a complete person who is interesting and approachable on his own is difficult. Learning how to spot vulnerable women and manipulate them psychologically is easier.

I get the frustration of not having Lyft and yes, that leaves people with one fewer option for getting around, and yes, they are being particularly pig-headed about it, but let’s not pretend that anyone has any entitlement to a ride-sharing service that didn’t even exist a few years ago.

Oh my god, that’s funny. Nothing says “I am a strong, confident man” like intentionally hurting yourself just because there are lots of women around you. Also, I find it really hard to believe that every single woman in the program was vegetarian or vegan.
