I agree. Have read the comics, love the comics, but don't think I've been quite as emotionally invested in any of the characters the way I am with the television series. Though I know a lot of people may disagree with me, I absolutely love everything about this series.

I'm an atheist who's had an abortion, and I still really don't get your rage, here. This woman had an experience and is writing about that experience. I don't see anything wrong with this, especially if she's doing it as a healthy means of coping with working through some feelings she's having as the result of…

This was absolutely beautiful, and really captured where I was at when I had my abortion. I was in a stable, long-term relationship with my now husband, and was a mom to a toddler. I knew I wanted another child, but also knew that having one at that time would have meant that it- and my already living child- would…

This is basically me with a pumpkin pie.

My first son was born five weeks early, and I wound up having natural childbirth on the side of the highway (yeah, crazy story). By the time we made it to the hospital, I was feeling pretty good. Took two extra strength Tylenol, had a shower, and was walking around and eating lunch within an hour or so.

My second…

I felt it was relevant, and I appreciated your story and how it gave you insight. I didn't get the feeling at all that you were looking for praise. In fact, I'd go as far to say that I'd hate it if you left and didn't ever come back- personally, I'm always happy to see men commenting at Jez who aren't minimizing our…

There's a pretty big difference, though. Men may say the same thing, but are they trained to say it- for their own safety- even if it's not true? "I'm already in a relationship" is certainly used by people of all genders, but there are definite differences in when it's used and how the other person responds to it. …

It works for me about half the time- which is pathetically low, but still a higher success rate (for me) than "I'm not interested," "No, thank you," or even "Seriously, it's not going to happen."

That's why I said it's most likely to work. Which, sadly, is not to say that it works all the time. It works more often than, say, "Thanks, I'm not interested," for example, due to the fact that a lot of men will somewhat respect the idea of a woman being someone else's "property" more than they're respect her right…

I completely agree. I hate that we're trained to say it- but I hate, even more, that that's the one thing that's most likely to work.

I was going to make the exact same comment! I read "womb" and my brain mentally adds "at" every time. That I'm not the only person who does that makes me feel less weird. :)

Darn tootin'! I shouted "ROGER MAC!!!!" at the top of my lungs and giggled for about two minutes. Then rewound, because I so had to watch that again. They sure cast a cutie!

I'm not the only one!

I remember watching one of the Transformers movies a few years back, and seeing horrible damage done to Petra and the pyramids in Egypt during one of the never-ending action scenes. I was absolutely horrified!

I mean, those movies are pretty terrible to begin with- but the fact that that's…

When my (now) husband and I decided to get married to celebrate our ten-year anniversary, I actually dreaded changing my relationship status because of the attention I knew it would receive (because I didn't figure out until later how to not make relationship statuses show up on newsfeed). Though I'm generally not a…

Color me shocked.

PREACH

Oh my gosh, I spent the entirety of sixth and seventh grade OBSESSED with this show. I think I'm going to pull out the DVDs, now...

I did the same thing with this show, but was determined to tough it out. I think I started and stopped it about three times. I kept reminding myself about how much I hated most of the first season of Buffy and figured this might be pretty much the same- and, fortunately, it was. It went from "meh" to "OMG!" pretty…

The Originals. Because I liked TVD, but this past season bored the hell out of me and made me less inclined to watch the spin-off.

I tend to think of "vagina" as, like, Quebec. There's Montreal, there's Laval, there's Gatineau, and there's Quebec City. When I talk about Quebec, I might be referring to either the city, or the entire province. Linguistically, I think that most people think of it in a fairly similar way. Though I'm well aware…
