The fact that you finished cutting the lawn while this was happening has made you my icon, my hero, my everything.

I had this happen too, I was standing in the back yard about to start the lawn mower when I felt this huge cramp wrack my body, then I passed something huge. My husband was like, “Are you ok?” and I was like, “I think they left some placenta behind and it just came out”. He looked like he was going to faint or die…

Finally I get to share my story publicly in a setting where people WANT to hear it!!! In December 2014, I started having really massive stomach cramps. I thought perhaps I had eaten something bad, or was PMSing, but these cramps were constant. I couldn’t sleep, I stopped being able to eat. I couldn’t stand up…

I feel like I can’t compete with the writer’s story, but for me it was a period/virus combo. I had clots the size of guinea pigs dropping out of my vagina as I sat shaking on the toilet shitting my brains out while throwing up into a trashcan.

Spend some time in The Villages and tell me what you think of golf carts. Say hi to my parents while you’re there

its not that autism is more common- its that we opened up the diagnosis a lot and now kids who would have in the past been called “mentally slow” or just anti-social and different are now recognized as autistic. so It seems like there are more incidences when in fact there always was this many people with Autism,…

I don’t know which one of your posts to reply to because they have all been spot on. One only needs to look at any random shot at a Bernie rally and you see a sea of mostly male, white, faces. Tell that to any one of them though, and they immediately come back with “but Ta-Nehisi Coates” and pics of the 2 PoC in the…

I actually thought her discussion of weed was pretty brilliant. There are, in fact, pretty intense repercussions to taking a Schedule 1 drug from banned to legalized at the federal level in one fell swoop. Dropping it down to a much lower schedule, supporting states as they legalize individually, and then keeping a…

That’s certainly been what I’ve observed on Facebook. Not entirely, but overwhelmingly white (usually straight, but not always) men. And they say shit like, “Well, I’m voting for Trump if Bernie’s not the nominee!” and I just shrug and think, “Well, of course you fucking are. What do you really have to lose in a Trump…

Thank you. Bernie is the left wing version of Drumpf. He makes a bunch of promises, but can’t say how he’ll actually manage to make those things happen except executive orders, ignores women’s issues and minority issues, and basically is promising a unicorn farting rainbows to every voter, which he can never deliver.

Yep. It’s infuriating. Bernie can do whatever the fuck he wants, as far as I can tell, up to and including deliberately excluding women from positions of power in his campaign and completely ignoring Roe v. Wade when asked if he would have a litmus test for Supreme Court appointees, while Hillary Clinton gets to…

Didn’t you know? Bernie is, like, all cool and shit. So cool he couldn’t even bother to find one woman to hire to one of the top ten most highly-paid positions in his campaign. Worse than Marco Rubio, even. But we’re a feminist site, so of course we’ll just keep shitting all over Clinton for... well, reasons.

Weird. I actually thought this bit was awesome. What makes it cringeworthy is how true it is.

All the stars to you.

Here we go again.

The idea is that Clinton has become a political rock star, but I also saw this as a dramatization of how people think women are preordained to act around Clinton.

Some Trump fan shouted out with something like, “You lost! Trump for president!”

no I know, he is really exceptionally fucking awful. But don’t try to tell me that “normal” men don’t ever look at their daughters and think of them as sexual beings, or possible sexual partners. Donald Trump jokes about this shit. This guy is just on the far-flung fringe of sexualization, he’s not totally off the…

Having suffered years of sexual abuse from my own father and being too afraid to tell anyone, the fact that this young woman had the strength to tell a trusted adult speaks VOLUMES about her. I wish I could hug her and tell her how brave she is.
