Lol, I PROMISE you most of the people eating their placentas in this country are not poor. They’re the middle- and upper-middle class and wealthy who go full expensive granola on their childbirth process.

As a kid I was told “If something comes out of your body, don’t put it back in! Your body threw it out for a reason.” This was said to keep me from eating boogers, but it can be applied universally. “If it comes out of one end, don’t put it into another.”

Maybe they do. Animals die a lot, newborns especially so.

Why are people so suspicious of mainstream, accepted medical advice and care but so willing to plunge, unexamined, into unproven homeopathic treatments?

Distracted by a minor thing here but: it is profoundly anti-Christian to say “God is my role model.” It is explicitly clear in the Bible that humans can’t fully comprehend God, and that God is not to be thought of as a person (thus everyone picturing a cloud-man being super duper wrong as well). At best, the statement…

“I’m a woman, I’ve been attacked by that show multiple times, but I don’t cry foul because of it,” Sanders added, as she cried foul.

God is Sarah Huckabee’s role model? I mean, I’m an atheist, so I hope this isn’t too bias, but a role model is somebody others look to as an example in order to imitate them. A boss can be a role model. Or a parent. Or a friend. Somebody—typically a mortal—who you can reasonably aspire to be more like in behavior or…

Just want to say that as an American woman living in Texas: the chance of dying of pregnancy and maternity complications is several hundreds of times higher than my chances of being murdered by an undocumented immigrant. PRIORITIES!!

Right on, thank you. I don’t remember how old I was when I started getting clued in, but I definitely have friends I’ve pointed things out to who really just hadn’t thought of it before. And a lot of it, sexism wise, anyway, is that a lot of things just seem normal when you grow up with it. Being commented on or…

I felt victimized by the fact that others were judging me through conflicting and unsubstantiated reports

They don’t care. I’ve said this in many a comment but it bears repeating - My father is a Trump supporter. My husband is a cancer survivor. What do you think my father said to me when I told him how worried I was about the Republican plan to eliminate the ACA? “Get over it or move to Canada.” My own father. He looked…

So CNN retracts a single Russia related story which wasn’t even actually about Trump but one of his fundraisers... and they retract it not because the story was necessarily false but because it relied on a single source and lacked corroboration... and the three people in charge of letting the story go to print resign…

Why is it always absolutes with these dingle dicks? There is a mile-wide line between not wanting you to parade around glorifying one of the most horrific groups of people to ever walk the Earth and OMG THEY’RE ERASING HISTORY!!!

Lead. Lots and lots of lead. Hell, Ralph Nader even revealed the inclusion of coal tar in mascara. I think they may still use it. Try NOT to get that shit in your eyes.

The response by the company - talk to the employees and tell why unions are not the way to go.. is an old anti-union tactic that is still sold/presented to corporations by anti-union companies that sell their wares to HR departments all across corp america. It’s the oldest in the book. Tell why you’re so great and…

There’s also a REALLY nasty history of white women accusing black men of sexual assault for acts that were clearly consensual.

I get that. I didn’t get sober until I was 41 because of that. And mad love to you. I don’t know you and it’s not for me to say if you have a problem with alcohol or not but it is progressive. And the question becomes, how far down the elevator do you want to go? You can get off at any floor. Me? I went so far down…

This also concerned me before I had my baby, but I’m pleased to report it did not happen. Maybe because I’m already pretty selective with who’s in my life, but no one in my circle forgot about me the individual. I do find it really troubling how much “mom” is expected to be an all-encompassing identity in American…

The amount of times I’ve seen “mother to xx, wife to xx” in the Instagram “about me” taglines is insane.

Am I the only one who gets super creeped out by women who so thoroughly adopt the “mom” identity that it may as well be their name? That shit ain’t right.
