God, yes. I actively hide the fact that I'm vegetarian/mostly vegan from coworkers, because I just do not want to have that conversation again. I think this stereotype of "pushy vegans" is due in part to confirmation bias—there are plenty of us stealth vegetarians out there, too.

Which is why I didn't defend either the incident or the store's policy.

I think there is one thing that separates (but doesn't justify) this particular instance from the standard bathroom-policing. Many men see lingerie stores as sexually-charged spaces in a way that is not true of other places that are generally sex-segregated: I have heard horror stories of jacking off in changing rooms

Wait, childbirth and motherhood don't happen to you as a person? You should let all the mothers out there know that their lives shouldn't change at all just because something vagina-specific happened to them.

Sometimes when kids are potty-trained too early they can get constipated. Younger kids also obviously have less bladder control, so there's likely to be a lot more accidents, which are much more of a pain to deal with than diapers. This girl looks about two or maybe a little younger, so she's definitely at an age

Instead is really totally different than a reusable menstrual cup. I've never tried the disposable cups, but I've heard from others that it's very difficult to get a "seal," and that the capacity is much less. I wouldn't rule out menstrual cups based on your experience with Instead! Personally, the only time I had a

I think he meant that humorously, but I could be wrong.

You don't "qualify" to be an ethnicity. He is an Anglo American who has ancestors who moved to Mexico so they could fuck multiple wives. That doesn't make him Hispanic. Don't be an idiot.

Of course.

Hi. I am not a troll. A troll is not a person you disagree with. Also, that's a nice, pithy way of dismissing someone, but it loses its potency when you use it inaccurately multiple times.

I think he should get his dog back. I don't think that I should waste emotional energy worrying about how voluntarily signing away his free will means he REALLY REALLY should get his dog back.

I don't.

Ew. Nationalism kills.

Every single member of the armed forces made a decision to go into a recruitment office and sign a piece of paper that says he or she is ok with all of this. I have no sympathy for that decision.

How exactly is he serving the country?

God, thank you for not being blinded by the hero-worship everyone else seems to be in thrall to. This whole thread is making me so incredibly pissed off. I bet a lot of these people saying "I love and support the military, it's not their fault!" think they're Leftists, too.

Oh, fuck your fucking warrior complex. There is nothing inherently heroic about signing up for the military. We don't get to criticize soldiers? What about the thousands that rape citizens and their fellow soldiers? The thousands that commit war crimes and murder civilians? No, they're soldiers, so make sure to shake

You obviously aren't educated on the subject if you think the purpose of a boycott is to keep yourself at a literal arm's length from the products. The point is to (pointedly) avoid giving money to offending companies, which is accomplished by buying those products secondhand. I have my reservations about the

I'm curious why you would assume that I live in a particularly good thrifting area, instead of assuming that you happen to live in a particularly bad one. (I didn't mean to cast aspersions on your location by calling it an "awful area," I was just responding to your description of the diversity of thrift stores.) I'm

I agree with most of what you said, but I do want to point out that it is perfectly possible to not be able to source all of your clothing from thrift stores or ethical manufacturers, even if you care. Besides the issue of access to stores that have enough of a variety to supply a family's wardrobe, things like
