I’m like 99% sure that the etiquette for destination weddings is no gifts. People are already shelling out thousands of dollars to be there and, in so doing, saving the couple thousands of dollars in wedding costs. That’s gift enough!

There is more to pregnancy that just popping out a baby... if a woman does not want to spend 9 months playing host to a fetus she does not want, she shouldn’t have to. Pregnancy is god damned miserable, even for women who wanted it. Childbirth is even worse. I’d never, ever wish that upon anyone who didn’t willingly…

Exactly.

I am one of those people who you mentioned in your last paragraph. Common law partnership. Never want kids. Regardless of our non-desire for children, our relationship still needs emotional/spiritual/physical intimacy to thrive, just like anyone else’s.... I’m on birth control, but it could fail. If it does, I’m not…

I honestly think the whole “men need a say!” thing is complete bullshit. It’s a purely fabricated problem.

When she told him she was pregnant, he said he wanted to keep the baby and offered to take full responsibility for it if she gave…

And what if I still don’t want kids after I’m married?

And, you know, when maternal health indicators consistently tank during Republican administrations, both state-wide and federally....

Ugh.. people like that make me so fucking angry!

Consensual rape??

Good for you for being OK with ending up pregnant if that happens....

He sure as fuck isn’t welcome here in Canada!!

Must be fun being so judgmental...

It’s a pretty risk-free business venture... there is literally NO overhead involved... soooo if you launch it and no one pays for it, you’ve lost nothin.

I’m sure whether they love it or not is both a product of the school environment itself and how at-home they feel there, as well as the reasons for why their parents sent them.

Way to literally describe the entire problem with every “bad guy” in society, from this fuckhead to Islamic terrorists to fundamentalist mormons.

SO edgy.
