I wouldn't. And that's the point. There are women who wouldn't. And even if they wanted to, it's their prerogative. The 'hot jock' has no entitlement to their body and existence, and painting it as if all 'red-blooded hetero women' want to have sex with them is part of their assumption of their entitlement to…

I just had my bachelorette last night and it was amazing.
Hotel room : 300bucks.
Matching pink tops and fishnet stockings : 15bucks each.

What's sadder is, I still don't get it..

MINE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES YES YES. Since this was before I could use the internet arbitrarily, I obsessed over Casper boy for about 7 years before I finally googled and found him out.

I got a ton of push back about getting mine too, I've no kids either, but went ahead anyway because I have friends who have them and are kidless too, one of them being in womens' health. It's a bit of a misconception I believe. My insertion was fine, but I took a bunch of midol (otc pain relief for cramps) beforehand…

I haven't had kids either though and my insertion was easy (took a bunch of midol in advance) and it's fantastic now after having settled for a few months. Maybe she needs to give it a while?

I can't gush about my mirena enough! Basically no periods, when they do come I barely notice them, hormone wise almost no side effects unlike the pill, took a bunch of midol before insertion and was a breeze apart from some manageable cramps after. Obviously it's not gonna be the same for everyone ever but I looooove…

Actually, the second piercings on my earholes I got when I was a teen got infected, but until today my original ones from when I was a baby are still perfectly fine. Aftercare by attentive parents vs aftercare by a forgetful teen, maybe?

In Hindu culture/religion, there's a whole freakin' ceremony, with rice, a fire, priest, chanting, all relatives and everything, for the big rite of pierced ears. For both girls and boys. And it's done around the age of 1 I think. Can't remember mine, personally glad cos I can't consciously handle the pain as an adult…

That's very similar to how I got engaged too! To me it's romantic in it's own way, because it's real, and stripped of all the fairytale stuff we've been fed as children. I agree on the deflated feeling, when I tell people we decided to get married together, on skype no less, never had a ring, the reactions, like you…

I get you. I've nothing against the sparkle loving engagement ring parade, none at all, but when I got engaged, we did away with the whole ring thing because it didn't make financial sense, plus I don't like jewelry. Unfortunately, every single person went "show me the ring!!!....oh...none? Awww...." and gave me looks…

I don't think you're getting her/his point. Wishing there is no /need/ for cancer treatments/abortions isn't the same as wishing there isn't any treatment available at all. Your statement doesn't seem to be logical, or maybe it's expressed poorly in the cause and effect structure.
She's just talking about how the ideal…

I cannot like this enough!!! I don't like abortions either, nothing to do with morality but that, just like any invasive medical procedure, it's kind scary and sometimes even traumatising. What people seem to not voice out is that any reaction to an abortion is perfectly fine!! I hated my entire experience, being…

:) always a pleasure.

Right??? All those stories about pregnant women glowing, the miracle of life...all I could focus on was how I was unable to hold down even water and that I could smell the garbage truck from two blocks away, ugh. I sure did glow - from all the sweat while throwing up, heh. That being said, I hope yours goes better…

Actually, I know I'm not speaking for everyone, but when I went to get an abortion earlier this year (BC failure, husband and I not ready to have kids), I first went to a clinic that tried really hard to counsel me and talk about options and stuff. I knew for SURE I didn't want to have a kid, neither did my husband,…

Yes!

I understand where you come from when you say you want to distance yourself from pro-choicers, and I see you were influenced from your time spent in a facility for women that was about reproductive health (or so I gather), which is unfortunate, but we really do need more people like you speaking out to show that…

The thing is, though, majority of pro-choicers share your views. It's the 'pro-lifers' who spread the whole 'pro-choice = pro-abortions' rhetoric. While I am morally okay with abortions in themselves to a certain extent, I get that others aren't. All that grey area notwithstanding, I also recognise the fact that in…

Wtf?


Just.....wtf?!
