So I typed out this whole sarcastic remark about it being just words and locker room talk and Bill Clinton yada yada and then I was like NOPE! I’m over joking about this, even in our circle at the Slot. We have to continue calling out the monsters that normalize this kind of discourse which makes it ok to sexually…

Eh, I know I probably shouldn’t but I tend to give people who lived through WW2 a little bit of leeway on being stupid about this sort of thing.

Madeleine. Why you gotta poop on everyone’s fun?! :|

I think we all need to start talking to our sons about consent and what consent really means. These conversations need to start WAAYYY before college. We need to start talking about consent as part of general “birds and bees” talks before kids even get to adolescence.

Thank you for raising a decent human being. I salute you, and your son.

This happened at 2am, Tuesday morning: my son and one of his roommates were walking on campus, talking and listening to music, with no classes on Tuesday. Another young man ran up to them, motioning to the bushes, where they found a young woman passed out and a naked dorm mate crouched by her. Naked guy pulls up his…

1. Why are Greek organizations still allowed?

No. Just raise better boys. Good kids who grow up with the proper understanding of what respect is do not turn into rapists because they joined some social club.

Get rid of fraternities. Period.

Oooh. That I can see. Rory ends up with Kirk, obviously.

I know it’s just a play on the song title, but the sad thing is that anxiety and depression leave one in a state of constantly pursuing happiness and never finding it. I hope he comes closer to finding whatever that is for him, after a great deal of struggle against the helplessness of that pursuit.

Hope he’s back in the pursuit of happiness soon.

oh wow, yep. incorrect! fixed, thank you.

Schwartz is deeply embarrassed and painfully ashamed of the part he played in creating the myth of Donald Trump decades ago. This is part of why he has been working with HRC to prepare her for the debates.

Mine is 6 now and due to a complicated c-section we did not get skin to skin for several hours. She’s well adjusted, incredibly loving, smart as fuck, and so funny it hurts me. Trust me it will be ok.

I had a similar thing happen to me, but with a planned surgery. I had called ahead prior to the day of admittance to make sure everything I could think of would be covered for knee replacement surgery. Since the doctor and operating room costs were covered, I never thought to ask about the anesthesiologist. Came home…

C-section here. Trust, my baby was zero percent deprived. We didn’t skin to skin immediately after birth because I was being sewn up, but did do it immediately after I got in the room with him (maybe 30 minutes after birth). Kid then nursed immediately. In fact, he got great time just him and his dad before I came in.…

First, for the sake of your sanity stay away from that stuff. Those posts always end up with the sanctimommies ruining everything and making everyone else weep. I had a c-section with my youngest. It was a traumatic, emergency kind of deal and I will spare you the rest- but I did not get to actually see the kid let…

I had an emergency c-section 7 months ago. When I got my completely insane hospital bill that my insurance refused to cover one penny of (close to $130k). I was questioning why the anesthesia wasn’t covered. Turns out I had neglected to ask which group the anesthesiologist was in. Silly me, being wheeled into surgery…

All that’s missing is “Stay sweet! Don’t ever change!”
