if legislators are gonna think with their penises, i intent to vote with my va jay jay

"tim gunn used to say my pantsuits were just hiding my 'cankles' ... but since reading 'texts from hillary', he thinks they're ironic"

whenever my man wants to iron a shirt for any outing other than a job interview, i show him a photo of mitt romney, and with a shudder, he puts away the ironing board

girls defending misogyny make me heartsick ... how did they become so disengaged from their own dignity? what sort of treatment do they accept from the boys in their lives, just to win their approval? they are in for a world of hurt

ah, yes, i am engaged in a nefarious plot to cause mass iron deficiency among jezebel readers ... but i am clever, so my methods are not explicit ... one must decontextualize and read things into my comments in order to fall victim ... it's insidious

please, re-read what i wrote ... i NEVER said that NO ONE should take iron supplements ... i am, however, concerned about people self-subscribing them on the basis of this article, because unless you are low on iron, iron supplements can cause discomfort and long-term damage to your health

an important addendum, courtesy of a fellow commenter: iron supplementation, without the supervision of a doctor, can cause iron overload and a lifetime of health effects like arthritis, liver disease, other organ damage

of course people being treated for anemia should follow their doctor's advice! we are talking here about otherwise healthy persons taking prenatal vitamins to improve things like hair, skin, and bra size ... THOSE people need to be warned that iron supplementation can cause digestive problems

another benefit of taking b12: i never, ever get a hangover ... no matter how much i deserve one

are you taking prenatals with iron? the iron can make you very nauseous ... it did me ... so you might want to try switching to prenatals without iron

i don't know all the merits/risks of taking prenatal vitamins, but from personal experience i do know that you probably want to stick to the prenatals WITHOUT iron ... iron supplements can cause nausea and/or constipation

thank you ... It's so important for women and men to understand that abuse can begin in subtle ways, and like the frog in a slowly heating pot, we often cannot perceive that we have become victims or abusers ... this is why I have been so adamant here that one cannot always know with certainty that our partner isn't…

for what it's worth, we are all on some level " floundering assholes" ... if only the world wasn't so damned complicated!

like i said, i was speaking specifically about the trend discussed in the article

good lord, really?

i was referring to the RISE in violence associated with the economy, as observed in the article ... as far as i know, rising wealth does not lead to rising domestic violence

if it's any consolation, this is happening all over the country ... and the same article citing camden also singles out eugene, oregon

oh boy ... that is such a DANGEROUS way of thinking

i'm not sure what the point of this observation is ... but, fyi, if you google "domestic" "violence" "rising" "economy", you will find similar stories from around the country, going back to 2009 ... whether in camden or austin or des moins, there is a correlation between economic stress and domestic violence, and as…

if only that were true ... because then maybe trayvon martin, a middle class kid, would still be alive and rush libaugh wouldn't have sung the "barack the magic negro" song for millions to hear
