Then there’s the difficulty Japan has in acknowledging or apologizing to the “comfort women” for the sexual slavery the Japanese army practiced in the 20th century. My country also needs to address both its current and historical human rights abuses. Sure the gov’t has given apologies and had a Truth and Reconciliation…

If it makes you feel any better, Japan has put a lot of effort into fucking over other countries, too.

Holy shit. The santorum will definitely hit the fan.

Now there’s a mental image...

My cousin has managed 2 very wanted pregnancies and has 3 healthy kids, but it was a challenge. I don’t have an ED, and I found the idea of gaining weight really difficult after a lifetime of feeling pressure to not put on weight... it was a really weird feeling, and it made me anxious that I wasn’t feeling the way an…

He’s not even sly. He truly believes that rules are for other people and can rationalize anything he does because his parents never hold him to account, and they pay his school not to either. He doesn’t have a mental disorder, he’s the product of shitty parenting and private schools.

It’s still bullshit. I caught pink eye and sinusitis while I was backpacking in New Zealand, and the whole thing cost me about $70. Because I wasn’t a NZ resident, I was charged a $50 user fee for the doctor visit (and he apologized (!) He said it was a recent thing to charge visitors for medical care) plus another…

OH. EM. GEE. I want updates and pics!

Seconded.

Congratulations! Wishing you the bestest, most over the top in a good way, babiest shower ever!

So, not over-the -top, but at a cousin’s shower, all her husband’s relatives WOULD NOT SHUT UP about her size. She was carrying twins and she has an eating disorder. It was a tough pregnancy, and the eating disorder is a life long struggle around food and body image. Did no one notice the showeree was only eating dry…

Same. *more Bailey’s into Milo*

Ugh, why

You know how you can tell their school totally doesn’t tolerate racism? Those kids are just yelling what I’m sure is friendly encouragement at a player on the other team, who appears to be african american, while covered in black make-up and a little white lipstick. Completely innocent and definitely not racist.

If that were my son, he’d be so grounded he wouldn’t be watching talk shows, let alone appearing on one. His internet and phone would be gone indefinitely and he would be spending a whole lot of quality family time contemplating how he could make restitution. But I guess that’s why if my kid behaved like a little…

The last line of the article made me snortlaugh. Real meninists don’t shave! lol

But what do you mean? The ad industry has historically been so welcoming to women, I’m sure there’ve always been plenty of women involved in marketing tampons.

The part where guys tell their friends to quit it really made me teary too.

I know... watching the PM of Israel cosy up to right wing nationalist European heads of state has been a little... disorienting. I guess they have a number of hatreds in common.
