My mom has been that way with my brother and me. I had a few unpaid parking tickets back in the day, and she treated me like I had murdered someone. Told me I didn’t deserve any Christmas gifts that year (and I didn’t get any), etc. My brother got a DUI with an extremely high BAC. Not only did she yell at him less for…

AGREED! I’m four years older than my brother, but it’s like we were raised by different families in different decades. I wasn’t allowed to get my driver’s license until I was in my 20s (because driving would somehow lead to sex which would lead to teen pregnancy), while he got his learner’s permit when he was 15. He…
I will be 42 this year, and I am still resentful of the double standard and favoritism showed to my brother simply because he is a boy.
My brother was 15 months older than me and I used to be on my parents constantly for letting him do stuff and then not letting me do it 15 months later. The end result was probably stricter rules for him than less strict rules for me. My Mom used to deny the double standard, which made me crazy. My Dad used to admit…
Meanwhile, adults tend to impose more rules on daughters than sons, leading to greater conflict. “Girls are the ones who have curfews, who are yelled at for going out,” said Chesney-Lind. “There’s a double standard.”
Texas already has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world- on par with that of Ukraine and Russia.
Yes, the wheelchair-bound governor of Texas is cutting programs for disabled kids, ‘cause Texas.
As a Texan who’s had some pretty shitty OBGYN experiences and only feels safe going to Planned Parenthood can I just say
Pass. For one thing it’s probably not on birth control and if you get pregnant good luck with the abortion (no one would buy the diseased parts). It’s likely to be syphilitic with both herpes and genital warts. In other words, I wouldn’t fuck it with David Daledin’s dick.
the food couldn’t POSSIBLY be the reason you live there, tho I’m sure it’s delicious.
The problem with Dem messaging is that it tends to be based on the truth. The truth is not something that any Republican has ever heard of, so they’re free to go balls to the wall with their lies.
“Abortions are evil!”
Goddamned fucking Texas. They just will not quit. They don’t get to force women to have funerals for their abortions (temporarily, at least) so by god, these women need to suffer somehow. So let’s make sure the STD rate in the state skyrockets, cervical, ovarian, and breast cancers go undetected until it’s too late,…
And to add to the general GOP fuckery, they plan to re-introduce the First Amendment Defense Act in Congress after the inauguration. Sounds pretty good, you say? Defending the Constitution, right?
Ann and Cecile Richards.
Why do so many lawmakers hate poor women?
I’d like to move to officially cut Texas from states receiving financial support from Blue states propping up their redneck asses. Get some straps on those cowboy boots, Billy Jim Bob Ray Cletus Junior.
Fuck you Texas.
Ann Richards is up in heaven or wherever just screaming.
