You can do both. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You really think that people didn’t know about infertility in the 1960's? Actually?
I love how you’re framing what’s assault in terms of what personally turns you on, as a straight guy. That’s horrifying, man.
Yep. Like having 100 words for snow, only way sadder.
So invest in an ethical fund. Don’t go out and do your own research and find some socially conscious stocks to buy. That’s a terrible investment strategy.
Yeah, all that shit about microwaves and toothpaste and electric smog (??) — she can do better.
I agree with you on all of this about what the church’s views, but I’ve never understood the term ‘artificial birth control.’ There’s nothing more natural about timing when you have sex than using a condom, taking hormonal birth control, or getting a vasectomy. It’s just less effective when done perfectly, and easier…
Nah, you didn’t see anything in any theology class. Spreading lies about Jews, or enjoying those lies, is fucked, and has resulted in very bad things throughout history. This is so painfully obvious.
This is pretty stupid, and not a little anti-Semitic. It sucks that this thoughtful essay gets shite like this at the top of the comments section.
No, it’s not. Infertile Catholics have always been allowed to have sex. Opposition to birth control (while I don’t agree with it) doesn’t mean that in Catholic belief kids are the only reason to have sex. Even fifty years ago, I don’t think that was the case.
I just saw Ali Wong’s special on Netflix, and it was fucking amazing. Also not dirty or edgy, but so great.
Yeah. If the guy you’re dating makes racist remarks, and then you marry him, you’ve made a choice. You’ve chosen your own happiness and well-being over not putting up with racism. It might not mean you’re the worst person in the world, but it definitely means you’re cool with racism.
I don’t think so. I’ve never heard my husband make a racist remark, and I can’t see him harassing a woman. The same is true of most men I’ve been close with in my life. I think most men and white people (myself included) have a lot of room for progress in gender and race relations, but making casual racist remarks is…
Plus, she could live in a country where a *year* of mat leave is required by law? Are you kidding? That’s crazy. No American bf is worth missing that. Plus the PM is basically a Disney prince. This letter is such a no-brainer in my eyes.
This is textbook Holocaust denial. Asking how many people died in the Holocaust, opinion poll or pub triv style is never a neutral thing. It’s a dog whistle that reached the right people.
Honestly, I think it’s just a problem with their algorithm.
Finally! Someone willing to challenge women to question their feeling when they feel uncomfortable in a situation with a man.
Absolutely. It’s totally common, and nothing to be ashamed of.
Absolutely. The advice to just have fun with this guy and see what happens is terrible. She’s in her early 30's, and wants kids. She doesn’t have time to fuck around. The ‘maybe you/your family/Trudeau will turn evil bit’ was also a weird stab at humor.
