Kiera was talking about when Kate gave birth to her daughter Charlotte.

Oh happy Thanksgiving, to you too!

You definitely need to be firm, not gentle, when it comes to laying on the pressure to vote. I’m a “lazy millennial” myself, so I know how tough it can be to get through to one of my cohorts, about the importance of voting. I once took a political science class, where I’m sure I learned plenty of interesting stuff...…

Yep, that’s not in my province, but he is definitely not the type I would have voted for (same goes for his deceased brother). Now I just have to fear Andrew Scheer (leader of the conservative party of Canada) gaining any kind of majority power.

If you don’t mind a white Canadian lady butting in here... the ball is in the court of older white American ladies (and to be fair, men too). Millenials of all gender identities have a nasty habit of not voting at all (that’s a sad fact in both our countries).

Hey now, even toddlers (with no neurological issues) quit screaming after a few minutes. They certainly don't whine about a vast conspiracy to lay blame on them for breaking mommy's favourite vase, when it was obviously someone else in the house that did it, or that maybe mommy lied about having the vase in the first…

You have to remember that giving birth is a very intimate moment. Some of us prefer knowing we aren’t being seen in that vulnerable state. It is wildly uncomfortable (at least it was for me) watching someone else in that state of vulnerability, moaning or breathing rapidly, or telling off their partner for getting…

The white folks who write in to demand someone explain where their privileges are, certainly seem to think life ought to be devoid of strife or hardship of any kind. Those of us who understand what white privilege is, don’t scream quite as loud (or fail to write anything worth reprinting in the clapback mailbag) so…

Sure, it should go to an impeachment hearing. Kavanaugh seems to flip-flop on that issue, depending on whether the sitting president is a Republican or a Democrat. I believe he was part of the impeachment proceedings for ousting Bill Clinton, for perjury since Clinton lied about “that woman, Monica Luinski”.

They can't handle the truth, and they can't handle taking responsibility (it's not something anyone has ever expected of them before).

Its because Kavanaugh has written extensively about his expert opinion regarding indicting sitting presidents (aka he believes sitting presidents should be above the law). Trump wants him now, so that when Mueller finds something, Kavanaugh will step up and save him.

There is a distinct possibility that your opinion is biased, based on the fact that you are a man yourself. I’m a white woman, who grew up in a place that would make Nazis cry, it was so diverse. I find it’s not the race of the man that makes him a threat, it's the fact that he is a he. I've been assaulted, harassed,…

You aren’t wrong. They are not the same. Vibrators are an objectified part, that may or may not resemble human male anatomy. One doesn’t need to be a conessuer to know this. A sex doll on the other hand is a whole objectified human female, with no mind. It might be a child, or an adult doll. Men who want to purchase…

You are right that most believe neither Hill or Ford. The article also glosses over the impact of class. If professor Ford had been a lowly cashier or fast food worker... she'd have been summarily dismissed without question. Her whiteness would not have earned her any sympathy. White privilege is very real, but it…

I have retail experience so I can answer your questions.

I come from a slightly different background, but my experience is similar. My mother sat my brother and I down for talks about sex, and babies, and all that fun stuff. She directed the consent stuff at my brother only - because it went without saying that I should also never force myself on people.

Yes the teen years are absolutely shitty, I think that we can agree on. I too was an awkward skinny acne riddled kid. I was also a girl, not a boy, so my experience with bullying was more of the verbal abuse (I had this really cool stutter!) and sexual assault varieties, not so much the beatings that every 80's teen…

Don’t underestimate the harm of online bullying (especially if you are a teacher). Regular in-person bullying hurts, certainly - but you can walk away from the jerk who calls you a slut for declining a date. You can’t walk away from social media posts. The average teen likely maintains a lot of their connections to…

As a former retail worker - these are not faces that scream "let me speak to your manager!". No, he looks like he is smelling his own farts, and becoming increasingly incensed by other people in the room not helping him to cover his putrid stench.

It's a lot harder to get grandparents on board with the consent stuff. They can be such entitled little brats, when they hear the grandkid say "no thanks" to a hug.
