I couldn’t be happier with my Paragard IUD. I’ve been using it about 2 years now, and it has been problem-free. I had forgotten to take anything preemptive lay for pain, so there was some discomfort when having it inserted... (Ridiculously painful with the sounding portion, much less for the insertion itself)

The best name.

It was pretty glorious :D

Thanks a bunch!

At the risk of sounding like a total idiot, where do I find this for iOS? Didn't see it in the store, though clearly other people have searched for it...

The 1000 Islands, Northern New York. Beautiful, lovely area, starving from a lack of industry and poverty amongst being a playground for wealthy people. The people there are the same families that have always been there, minus the military transplants. Racist, and suspicious of education, and inexplicably republican…

Sounds like where I live: the North Country, where nothing has changed in 100 years.

I really, really hate their style. Nothing fits right and it’s weird as a group. Maybe I just don't get the look, but for style icons this is pretty sad.

Yuuuuuup, I NEED this.

I just want to know who the fuck thinks thse poses up and thinks they are anything other than awkward and uncomfortable? Nothing in that picture looks remotely artistic.

My fiancé and I sing Sephy Doesn't Know (to the tune of Scotty Doesn't know...a song I hate) to our cat for his monthly bath.

Well it would be weird, logically, if they were gender swapped. What story would compel a horde of women to kill one dude? If it makes sense and has a good story, why not?

How on earth can she be doing that already?

I admire your patience with this guy. He obviously doesn't get it, and it is very frustrating to have to spell it out for him.

So why couldn't those be female characters too?

Way to prove Anita's point.

We are socially conditioned from childhood to: keep neat and tidy, to dress prettily take up as little space as possible, place the concerns of everyone else before us (including when we feed people), be attractive and well-kept without appearing overly vain, to be virginal but to also be the nastiest sex partner…

Well no shit, who doesn't want someone to empathize with them and listen to them? That's pretty basic in general. None of those initial qualifications are belonging only to one group, but having society punish one half for exhibiting them and treating the other half in a belittling fashion for the same is just stupid.

That's part of the socialization foisted upon women that you are seeing. Trust me, it's a thing. Given the opportunity, I would much rather sit like a man with knees apart, despite the fact it's not "ladylike".

Hardly true. Women have been warring as long as men have. It is only recently that they have been prohibited (and finally able to publicly join the military)
