oh man but now i am imagining tiny rain forest critters in there

I don't know if I have discharge stains (I don't think?) but I am going to jump on this opportunity to share an awkward story that I feel was poorly received on its first-and-last sharing:

One of the only things i actually hate about men is that they always have a little pee stains at the front of their undies. Doing laundry for a dude really grossed me out after a while.

Good Thor, that fucking high flash is obnoxious and unnecessary. Douchebag.

I have any issue with 'rights' without responsibilities. Does the patient have a right to push a surgeon into doing a salvage operation? Assumption here is that the surgeon reasonably foresees an emergency surgery that could be prevented through a planned c-section and emergency surgery is higher risk than planned.…

It's really hard to judge whether someone is acting against medical advice with good reason without having access to their personal medical records, which obviously we're not entitled to here. But after having a shocking number of friends post on Facebook that they're not vaccinating their children because they've…

I'd adore seeing the CPS rationale, but VBAC can be substantially more dangerous than you're giving it credit for, and fucking with safety during childbirth is something I'd leave to devoted homebirthers who're too often surprised to find that good vibes can actually end in maternal and child disability and death. If…

I don't think movie reviews are supposed to be objective. If they were, they'd just be a short plot summary and the runtime.

Because some people like my in-laws are horrible people and assume that whatever they have going in their lives is 100% more important than your life. You could have cancer and they would still get snarky about you failing to get back to them immediately.

Yeah, this would've been a cuter story if the bride didn't then use it as an excuse to publically shame all her friends.

I once got a lengthy, PUBLIC, Facebook diatribe directed at me for not replying to a wedding invitation RSVP. I had moved recently, and the invitation didn't get forwarded to my new address.

Well, she didn't say no. Which means the only solution to this is to move the wedding to Santa Fe. How hard could that be?

That's hilarious because I have yet to really meet one (and I grew up in Mendocino county). I know they're around, but I think if I can sense a person is not down to get sloppy drunk and binge watch Ab Fab, I'm immediately repelled. I also hate the outdoors because bugs, bears, mountain lions and laziness.

Except I have gotten hired multiple times, in a highly competitive male-dominated field, so you can back the fuck up with your Business 101 mansplaining. It's also "just business" when white men don't hire people of color, because their clients only want to deal with white folks.

For women, it's both business and personal. There is no "separate". I don't stop being a woman when I go into work, anymore than my coworkers stop being gay or black or Muslim. "It's just business" is some bullshit thing some men say when their behavior is ethically indefensible.

There is no way, NO WAY, I wouldn't have walked up to their table before leaving and said, "You are all despicable. And I just typed out everything you said about women."

You're not the problem. The problem is the assumption that women are somehow "at fault" for the desire and/or need to stay home to take care of kids, particularly since our society makes just about zero provision for any men to do the same thing in a way that's socially acceptable. People leave jobs after a year…

I understand what you're saying. When I was pregnant and working, I confess to being a little annoyed when I'd see this happen because I feel like it made my life harder in regards to being seen as serious about my career while being a mom. But that's utter bullshit when I think about it in any serious way. People…

I worked at cafe where a group of local business men gathered for their morning coffee a few times a week. I remember bringing an order to their table and as I walked up one of them was saying, "And THAT is why you never hire a woman!" And all the other men nodded their agreement. Then he turned to me with a huge grin…

I honestly believe that these views aren't going away until men are equally able to take leave after childbirth/adoption. The lack of societal respect for for paternity leave is a subtle way of delegating the entirety of early childcare to women.
