You might not call yourself pro-choice, but you sure are!

My first thought after watching all these ads was 'There's no way these women actually eat anything remotely like CJ. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!'

When I got first engaged, most of my old classmates were like 'Where's the ring??' as opposed to ''Who's the lucky guy??'' - it seriously pissed me off. And when I told them I didn't want one, we weren't that kind of couple they got the ''aww...you poor thing'' looks on their faces, sanctimonious little asses. When

I shall now spend my day imagining delicious looking men with salad dressing drizzled all over them. Yum.

Ugh, when it comes to a woman's body suddenly everyone insists on chiming in with opinions and judgement. People take over the counter pills for headaches like candy, and they destroy livers, but when it comes to anything feminine it's 'unnatural' and 'bad for you'. I share your rage!! I cannot count the number of

I long for the day when 'depo shot' and the like don't have to be qualified by 'medically necessary'. I tell everyone, who broaches the subject, about my IUD. As a married woman, this shocks a lot of people in conservative asia. I actually need to explain that being married doesn't automatically mean I want kids now,

Because rapists and the like are disgusting, neanderthal assholes?

It's such a relief to know I'm not the only one who feels this way - I'm surrounded by old classmates all getting married and having kids just months later. Me, I got married and got an IUD. Mostly because I know for sure I don't want kids for at least 4 years, but then I swing back and forth like you, and so figured,

Is your world always so black and white, filled with lack of reading comprehension skills?
That isn't even close to what anyone here has said. Other than you.

I honestly think you're projecting here. I'm Indian myself and I never saw anything troll-like about his/her post. You're an awful person for saying all this to him/her and a bully.

P.S. whoever that was who was calling you names, wow that was completely uncalled for and unproductive. I didn't get negativity like that from your post at all. He/she is probably projecting.

I'm very sorry you had to go through what you did, I have had an abusive father myself for many years, although it never

I get what you mean, and I haven't done enough research into the matter to see if Jezebel is indeed painting India as filled with 'scary brown people' like you mentioned in another post, but I feel for the purpose of a proper analysis of a certain social group/culture etc, things need to be bordered out and a scope

Aw someone needs to do a little more research and a little less horn-blowing. You're making a fool out of yourself with your lack of knowledge of the subject you're so callously dismissing. Move along, now.

I kinda see this as a push for a more secular India actually. The fact that they humanized deities (Hindu or not) also kinda brings down religion in general. On the flip side, it's like when Muslim fundamentals got incredibly offended when SouthPark wanted to use a figure of Mohammed in their cartoon, because he

That's EXACTLY the point. The need to bring up the question "Now what?". Also if you bothered to look at the actual ads, you'd notice the tagline and the hotline number for Save Our Children, an organisation helping children and victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking.

I just watched that bunny pole dance for a whole 20minutes. I kid you not. How do I make this my desktop background for life???

They only mentioned those reported cases of assault against women. I can assure you, having family from there, that that number is miniscule compared to the truth.

I don't understand why there's always that one or two people who insist on comparing one good/bad issue with another in some other context. Problems aren't solved in big, sweeping movements, they're tackled within the societies within which they exist. Yes, violence exists everywhere. Yes, violence against women

I'm moving to calgary this year. And yeah I agree :(

That's a rather defeatist attitude. Not saying I disagree completely (I'm surrounded by Indian patriarchy so I get where you're coming from) but I'm not gonna just give up and lay down when my father punches me in the face either (which he has. More than once.)
