“This is a stick up!”

What you don’t understand is that these unborn children have amazing potential: They’re all going to become president of the US, or activists on the level of Dr. MLK, or scientists who cure cancer. Can women do any of those things?

There is not enough bourbon on this sidewalk to allow me to parse this line of thinking.

They obviously look like flying peeps.

It makes me resent being pregnant and being a mother. I’m six months pregnant and the fact that the blob in my gut has more rights than me makes me ill. I mean I’ve been paying taxes for 19 years, hold two degrees, help counsel students so they don’t waste government resources, but no. The blob is more important than…

For an African-American woman to have her own political voice and own political position, and to believe that our perspective should be added to the conversation, was just something they hadn’t even considered.

I really can never forgive how that panel of privileged white men treated her. They pretty much tried to gas light her.

The only time I’ve ever been to Beautique was when I was with my ex and we were still swingers, in order to meet the tackiest couple we encountered in the year we were together. The man was exactly the kind of beefy, oily, overly-groomed type that is endemic to this sort of place, and his wife was a high-school…
