as an immature teen I had this sort of relationship - twice. I had two sexually close friends and I played them off against each other.

No, as in if I take any pill or the shot I bleed for the whole of my time and end up in hospital. IUD’s are out of the question, because they can increase bleeding. I get to use condoms or no protection.

We have a disabled doggy. After operations he has a normal life - and aside from his original deformity he is very healthy because he is a mutt and is parents could not have been less related.

I saw an English one about, amongst other things, seizures in King Charles Spaniels and breeders who insist on breeding them regardless. It may have been the same one, but I will never have a purebred dog after watching it.

Ugh. For reasons known only to my overenthusiastic uterus any or all birth control makes me have a perma-period and I have slept on towels since I was 10. My grandmother had her last child in her 50’s without IVF. I’m 35 and praying for menopause. I hope extended fertility isn’t hereditary.

I always feel sorry for dogs who are that clean. It means that they aren’t doing doggy things. Give the dog some mud.

If I twittered to my kids about getting ready for school I would have the same grim sense of quiet desperation as Ms Ayotte.

I never understood why men wanted virgins. When I was of the age that people I slept with might reasonably be expected to be virgins, I was definitely NOT seeking out virgins, because in my experience they could be nervous, emotional and clingy, and what teenager wants to deal with that?

No. I was a travel agent three years ago. You still get commissions on airfares, tours, hotels - pretty much anything you find for $100 less than the internet and tell the customer is $50 less. The wholesalers you buy from get commission. The airlines get kickbacks.

I was going to comment this. I feel like all the Girls characters are just their actors personalities exaggerated.

That's why her hair is so big; it is full of unfounded accusations.

How can you be a poc and a white feminist?

I think the number of likes my comment got helped, because the media love to play up the terrorism threat and play down domestic violence, but they seem to be noticing at last.

I replied to a facebook post once saying that some buy had been counting Muslims at a local mall and ‘exposing’ the high numbers of potential terrorists that walked among us buying apples and reasonably priced footwear, and I pointed out that for a woman, every male you walk past is a potential domestic violence…

Yeah, there is a lot of that going on in regards to the Cosby victims from other women who have been victims themselves, and it is really concerning.

Ok I must be writing sentences badly.

Children can make you think very strangely.

Oh I have been there, I have been there! I moved to Canada from Australia on a whim with a few thousand dollars and a visa and had the worlds biggest meltdown on the phone in a crappy hostel to my unhelpful parents in the middle of their night.

I run my own business but it keeps me happily below the poverty line (ie, we can eat but when our towels wear out we are in trouble), and I am looking for work in newly graduated professional capacity. Being a graduate I’m going to be making about $100 a week working full time than I am now, and that will pretty much…

I stand by that they ‘need to take responsibility for their position in relation to the silence surrounding the shame of being raped’. Their position may be that they are too traumatised to share their story or help others, and that position is both common and valid. All positions are valid for a rape survivor, but…
