This is 40.

Wait.. I call a flock of crows a murder of crows and I’m from Chicago. Is this not a thing elsewhere?

She looks like Jackie Kennedy if Jackie was a dead ringer for Natalie Portman. 1/5 stars would not Portman again.

We got married last year and my husband took my last name. It’s so freaking awesome. We can weed out a lot of closeted bigots by their reaction, and gain quick friends who think it is awesome too. Such a simple act that speaks volumes about what we value.

How could they do this? Simple. It’s called the law. Something you were supposed to uphold, not break.

If you’re not eating something because you don’t like it, then you’re absolutely not who she’s getting at in this article. Chill out, she wasn’t getting a dig at you.

You get sympathy. I feel bad for your folks, but I feel sympathy for you, too. Meals with your relatives must be a mine field.

She’s not wrong. A multi-day cayenne pepper and lemon juice only ‘cleanse’ is to a person with disordered eating what a weekend long bender in Vegas would be for an alcoholic. It’s not healthy and the media should stop glorifying that type of thing.

Omg dude, so much this. I remember when Jez first reported on his comments a week or so ago there were all these people howling about how he had “Erased women from the fandom.” I mean for fuck sakes. I’ll say it again: I always thought it was clear that he was acknowledging that the franchise hadn’t done much to…

Unpopular opinion time: I was not pissed when he made the first comment. I thought it was pretty clear that he meant that the franchise hadn’t really gone out of its way to invite women in (which is true), not that women are incapable of being fans.

I always throw tampons out in the trash, and I have never touched the bloody cotton part. Not even once. You just pull it out by the string and either drop it directly in the trash, or wrap it in the plastic wrap of the new replacement tampon, or wrap it in some toilet paper or whatever. No touching required. Honestly…

When I had my abortion (in NC), I had to sit in a group “therapy” circle and discuss the process and what forms of birth control I planned on using post-abortion.

Now we just need to workshop a transvaginal ultrasound equivalent. Transrectal firearm fitting?

I'm a HUGE FAN OF YELLING.

Fuck, thank you. I swear, I can’t tell if some of these comments are a comprehension fail, or just outraged that a manufacturer should be, you know, responsible for their product.

Exactly—why is it that we can develop flushable products when the product is gender neutral (like toilet paper), but when it’s a product that only women use, we’re supposed to rely on less convenient, less hygienic, messier methods of disposal that essentially force the very low-paid workers who clean it up to deal…

True, but there has to be a happy medium between “disintegrates on contact” and “blocks builders grade plumbing.”

How does that even work? I mean, once you take the tampon/pad out after being used and it has your old uterus attached to it with the new one having grown in its place, how can you even manage to flush all that without the toilet clogging?
