I was hairless until I turned three. Now I lost 70% of my hair thanks to my thyroid and every time I see a toddler with long and crazy hair I think “What do you even need that for?” and want to steal it all!

But wage disparity is only in our womanly minds!

Nobody in my family understood my endometriosis until one day I was so in pain that I first pooped and vomited on my self while on the bathroom floor ‘cause i didn't have the strength to get on the toilet. I then went to the hospital and got an epidural. When they saw I accepted to have a needle in my spine rather…

In Italy those are called “slave” sandals. They come from the Roman times. I actually think they just translated it literally.

Until we can get babies conceived just by using sperm and that come out of a men’s ass, then men need to shut up when it comes to abortion and the reproductive rights of women

Some couples actually have to choose the sex of the embryos. My husband and I will need to do it when we’re going to go through IVF because I’m a carrier for a genetic disease that only affects boys. So, yeah, for us having a boy is substantially different than having a girl.

My obgyn and my family finally understood how bad my menstrual cramps are when I was passing a huge kidney stone and it felt much better than the first three days of my period. I had endometriosis everywhere in my intestines!

There was an Italian European parliament member who took her six week old baby to the parliament and breastfed her in a sling. If you need to work and be there to vote and you’re breastfeeding, that would be a good solution!

Why is nobody eating the food? It’s getting cold!

It’s sad that movies or tv shows with African American protagonists don’t get exported.

Having lived in Europe for 25 years and having worked with Japanese and Korean people for a long time, it’s actually a real thing that movies with African American protagonists would not have the same success movies with white protagonists have. For instance, in Italy nobody has any idea of who Tyler Perry or Oprah…

In Italy we only talk about racism in certain situations and it comes out when people do something pretty blatant, like calling someone the N word or telling someone who is black to go back to their own country. Concepts like “institutional racism” or “white privilege” are non existent. Especially because 91% of the…

I understand why what she said is problematic but I also want to cut her some slack because I’m European too. The way we talk about racism is so different than the way Americans talk about racism. I’ve been here five years and I’m just starting to understand the way Americans talk about race .

I’ve never in my entire life witnessed a kid react to a pair of boobs in public or in tv. I’ve see many adult idiots react to them! So, whose problem is it? Yours or your kids’?

Back in Italy Blobbymother needed to go back to work and left me at daycare at the tender age of six months. I loved it! It’s mostly just playing and learning how to be social. Until age 5. I think it’s the best thing parents can do for themselves and the child.

That sounds awesome in my mind!

Genetically enhanced toddlers always say YES?!?

I’m a recovering bulimic as well (2 years and 2 months without purging and binging but who counts?) and find that a meal plan does not work for me at all. It just makes me get obsessive. I’m Italian, so I need to have pasta at least four times a week and I do. I pair it with lots of veggies, some fish and some meat. I…

Just having investments. Also he’s in various advertisements around the world (bread in Italy). My husband has a little sum of money invested and he makes at least 30k every year just from that. And that sum is like two months of Melanie’s life, not that much!

I just realized that most of these people are older than me or my age. I now feel sooooooo much better about my life choices.
