I’ll never forget the ex-boyfriend who excitedly told me he’d seen an instructional video on the internet where someone had trained away their gag reflex and thought it could work for me. He then proceeded to show me a clip of a woman hooked up to a machine that operated thusly: the more she deep-throated a dildo, the…

Musee D’Orsay is a short walk away. Incredibly beautiful and less insane. At least when I was there.

This is rape.

Or let's stop acting like you have to mourn just because you took a pregnancy test. If you have a late period and don't take a test, you don't mourn. Do people just every let things come and go anymore?

On one hand, it’s good to have people discussing a miscarriage so publicly. Most people live this out in private without having much outside support, even though it’s a very normal occurrence.

And this is why you wait to announce a pregnancy. Not to mention, what this man did was terrible violating and I hated every second of the original video. I do wish them the best, though.

A risk that subsides to normal levels within a decade of cessation. No need to make it sound scarier than it is. Most women stop taking the Pill well before breast cancer is a real concern.

How is this proof? This was a single lunatic who used religion to justify his hatred.

...where it would’ve been a mass shooting instead.

I kind of liked that they noticed that. Very CSI of them. Like yes, the kill kit was enough, but it was just sort of the nail in the coffin so to speak.

Excellent article. It reminds me of the uproar last year when Jennifer Lawrence DARED to tastefully go nude for a Vanity Fair cover story following the release of her stolen photos on Reddit. Soooo many male commenters couldn’t understand how she could speak out against the invasive nature of the hacked pictures and…

My awesome Women Studies professor in college, when faced with the abortion question, just smiled at the token troll and said “If you want there to be fewer pregnancy terminations, then you should advocate for free childcare and work towards reducing the stigma on un-wed mothers.” mic drop. Love you, Prof. Roy!

It’s a decision of last resort - if we had the economic or emotional support (or maturity or desire) to have that child, most of us would. That’s why I for one, get SO PISSED OFF when MEN think they should have a hand in the decision or think we need extra time, counseling WHATEVER. It’s infantilizing and insulting to…

I do know that. I also know that dead people, in fact, cannot experience pain or anguish or humiliation. It’s one of the few benefits of being dead.

This story makes me wonder how many women in insane asylums in those days were really just rape victims.

Huh. I got the opposite from the article. Judy found out she was Young’s biological daughter, not adopted, and went years without knowing who her father was. Then, when she did, he continued to ignore her. That fucked her up, as one might reasonably expect. That’s the take-away I got - the issues Judy and Loretta had…

Young, Gable, and Judy are all dead, though. The people who could be hurt by the revelation literally can’t be hurt anymore because they’re dead. And considering how it took until a ten-years old admission of buying drugs to give to women he wanted to sleep with was revealed for Bill Cosby to face any repercussions, I…

How does one take away the agency of a woman 15 years dead?

YES!!!! that’s what it’s like. i could go and go and have energy and deep throat and all that shit when i was high. now if i make one little over-confident move, i’m gagging. so i keep it pretty safe, which might equate to boring?
