I feel like we have to mention this on every article, BUT: can we once, just one time, not immediately make something about men? If you see an article about a very serious blow in a long line of aggression against women's reproductive rights and your FIRST reaction is, "MEN HAVE PROBLEMS, TOO," then I think you should…

That is, as I understand the situation, incorrect. While Hobby Lobby maintains that they only object to 1 kind of contraception (putting aside the fact that the morning after pill does not cause abortion), the Supreme Court decision allows all closely-held private companies to exclude birth control coverage of any…

well then it looks like everyone has been wasting their time, because none of those 20 birth control options causes abortion!

I mean, I may have said something a little insensitive every now and then, but I'd venture a guess that most normal adult humans haven't said (let alone tweeted) anything like that racist garbage. This is an argument I've seen around the internet a lot, though, like racist confirmation bias. "DON'T PRETEND YOU'VE…

Got any advice for the married women who want to have sex with their spouse but are not financially, emotionally or physically ready to have a baby? Clap their legs shut? How about the women who use birth control to control PCOS, endometriosis, and painful periods or to prevent ovarian cysts? Shall we all just clap…

I hope none of your fast women work at Hobby Lobby.

Reverse racism isn't a thing.

Wait, that's interesting! I always thought that the implant and IUD prevented pregnancy in similar ways (thickening lining of the uterus making implantation impossible). Is it because the implant prevents eggs from being released and the IUD messes with the precious sperms? I just don't get these people.

The ACA is definitely the reason I was able to afford the implant — no copay for either my consultation appt or the insertion appointment, and now I don't have to worry about it for 3 years. Best case scenario for anyone who has employer coverage (and doesn't work at Hobby Lobby)

Dang! That makes me even happier about this whole thing.

I got the arm implant too — is yours Nexplanon? I've only had it since May, and I'm a little annoyed by the amount of spotting so far. Good to hear that it has totally gone away for you, keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be that lucky

I have the Nexplanon implant! I was originally planning on an IUD, but this just seemed like an easier insertion for identical efficacy. I just got it in May and so far it has made my period go a little haywire (like, 3 periods in 6 weeks? UGH) but they have been much lighter and shorter than my actual period, which…

I was planning on getting an IUD until my lady doc told me about Nexplanon. It's a tiny thing — smaller than a matchstick — and it goes under the skin on your inner bicep. Lasts for three years with the same effectiveness as an IUD! I definitely suggest it to any and all ladies with a) small uteruses (that is…

ME TOO! My parents took away my AOL access (lol) in 5th grade because my curious/naive 11-year old self was a bit too friendly with chat room strangers

A really good response someone posted upthread from this Washington Post article:

100% agreed. Most of the anti-vax moms I know are solidly upper middle class SAHPs with too much internet searching time on their hands and an incredibly inflated sense of the importance of their intuition and "spirituality" when it comes to medical decisions.

Oh, no. Please don't let that be true. He is just one of the grossest humans I can think of.

I think it has something to do with how symmetrical her features are — like, mirror image symmetry.

I write for a living. I have received many compliments on my derriere, including from the English man I once hooked up with who said I had a "crackin' arse." Your move, Tom Carson.

Sounds like you found yourself a keeper! My boyfriend grew up in a traditional Mexican-American family where the women rarely (if ever) leave the kitchen during family gatherings — we had a few bumps in our relationship at first, because he had just never seen a family in which the woman wasn't responsible for 100% of…
