Wow, it only took a few minutes before someone tried to compare FGM with male circumcision. Every friggin time...

“[a]s despicable as this practice may be, it is essentially a criminal assault,”
It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…
Spinal surgery for my dog. 100,000% worth it.
After my granFanda died, I discovered she had snuck little bits of money into money markets, CD’s and savings accounts in my name since my birth. I was notified of this by her sister via a post card with my first clue (because she made it a treasure hunt). All told she left me 24k. The knowledge of that money, of the…
Ehermergherd! I love this show.
She comes by it honestly.
When you've all committed sexual assault together you just have that very special bond, you know?
Annual reunion?
I’mso sorry you’re going through this.
Good news, bad news.
A few years ago when I started going back to school, I came on Jezebel and posted about it and some people were saying “Go you!” And praising me for being a woman seeking a degree in engineering (I didn’t even mention I was 40 at the time, so not just a woman, but a middle aged woman).

So, I’ve posted on here about my attempts to get pregnant, and how stressful it is because I’m looking to switch jobs next school year. Earlier this week, on a post about Meghan Markle’s pregnancy, I sadly shared that we were officially at month 5 with no baby. Then... my period was late. And I took another pregnancy…
Revolutions aren’t generally polite.
Yes. I wonder if the jerk that raped me ever ponders what he did all those years ago. I was the last drunk girl in a carload of drunk girls to be taken home that night. I’d known him since grade school. He dragged me out in a bean field and did the deed. He had a friend with him, and he encouraged him to join the…
My great grandmother lived to be 99 years old and she did it by living harder than anyone else in the family. Her house had no indoor plumbing, and she’d haul water from the town reservoir every day. Her toilet was a bench with a hole in it set over a latrine that had been dug underneath the house. And this, dear…
