Perhaps this is a regional thing—but here, OB/GYN's who provide abortion services, also provide other services as well. So they couldn't know what you were going into the doctor's office for. So I don't think I understand their strategy.

For me it is bothersome because it means my body is up for critique, no matter what I'm doing. I can't just mind my own business and do my grocery shopping without having someone evaluate how attractive I am. What gives them the right to comment on my body or attractiveness?

Oh I agree about the in public part! I don't think that should be done in a restaurant. I just took issue with condemning other culture's (and people's) lifestyles as wrong because we wouldn't do it.

Editor's Note: OK, obviously there's nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public, but if the kid is talking in complete sentences, they shouldn't damn well be doing it anymore.

I'm not religious, but, my understanding of the Christian faith is that if you sincerely ask for forgiveness of your sins, you will be forgiven because God is a forgiving God.

There isn't, but there are going to be more plus sized women who are tall than straight sized women who are tall, because if you are 5'10" even a healthy weight would likely put you at a plus size.

How often do women show you scorn? If it's common, I think you might want to run your approach to women by a (female) friend. I'm also not suggesting waiting for a woman to come up and ask you for a date because we're socialized to not do that for the most part. I mean, most guys that aren't obnoxious talk to me…

There is a smaller percentage of people who are obese among wealthy people, but they still exist in large numbers.

It's the average (mean) size, not the most common (mode) size.

Fine, then wait for a woman to show interest in you and remove your risk. Not sure what you want me to say, it's hard to feel sympathy when men fear scorn when they are rejected and women fear violence when they are rejecting.

I don't know, I've never seen anyone outside of high school act scornfully to someone for respectfully showing an interest. To be honest, depending on the circumstances, it can be very dangerous for a woman to be anything but super respectful when turning a guy down.

That was really harsh of your mom. Wow. It blows my mind that she made you pay feminine hygiene products and OTC medications when she had enough money to give allowances to at least 3 children.

In my past home state, clothing is not taxed. Also, in many places, OTC drugs and many first aid supplies (gauze, medical tape, etc) are non-taxable. I'm pretty sure toilet paper isn't taxed either.

Seriously, it's no big deal. Last time my boyfriend bought me some, an elderly woman apparently was telling him he was a saint basically for it when she saw him picking them out! Ha.

I immediately recognized it as a lobster tail because of this:

So if you wonder about how poor women can afford tampons and pads, you're a nasty c*** who needs to work. If you try to save money by using a diva cup or washable pads, you're also a nasty c****. I suppose the solution is to have babies to stop those pesky periods that gross people out so much.

That's a non-sequitur.

Thank you, he's more than twice my age at least now so they're ruining their point with a man I couldn't care less about.

Exactly!
