Wilde continued, “It’s a basic misunderstanding of feminism as pious, sexlessness. It happens a lot to women; we’re expected to be one-dimensional if we are to be considered feminists. There’s a complexity to Kathy, as there is to all of us, and I really admired her.”

Wait Kevin McCarthy is supposed to be young there?

Wait, wait, wait--an ectopic pregnancy is never viable and can be fatal to the mother. Was she saying they wouldn’t have terminated the pregnancy? Because that’s a.) a possibility because we live in the stupidest timeline and b.) making me see about ten shades of red right now.

Hospitals can exert more pressure than you think when they want to keep you there for one reason or another, and I don’t doubt they’d lie to her face or withhold crucial information that she would need to figure out where to go and how to access care.

At about 3 weeks pregnant (I always knew very early), I had horrendous abdominal pain. I couldn’t even stand. I was in bed, sweating, and couldn’t move. When I was sent to a (Catholic) hospital, the nurse who did my intake asked me basic questions: name, age, previous pregnancies, religion... when I mentioned I’m…

“And in 2017 Texas cops searched a woman’s vagina, inserting fingers into it, for 11 minutes and found nothing”

Seriously. Can we stop talking about Ellen and who she sat with at a football game? Bush is still horrible but he’s not in office anymore. Let’s move on to more important things. 

I think her teaching/professorial experience is probably really valuable when it comes to answering those kind of dumb questions without coming across as dismissive, because it’s such an essential skill in education. 

Warren is really good at rejecting the premise of bullshit questions without being dismissive. She’s got a talent for taking said bullshit questions and reframing them in a way that lets her say something of substance about an issue that matters. I really like that about her.

Let’s not pretend schooling Paul Ryan is a serious accomplishment to begin with.

They probably need a whistle of some sort.  To blow to alert people.  About something.

“It is important that our children do not engage in risky behaviors. I’ve been very careful not to talk about the children this summer.

You’ve never grown up poor in an area with a more robust school to prison pipeline than job market, have you? There are absolutely children involved in criminal activity to secure food and shelter in almost every major city in America.
