At this point we realise that all those tales about women lifting cars off their children that are pitched as amazing motherhood powers are actually all about very premenstrual women.

Still not preferable conduct, but a lot better than hitting the horse. If that’s the “slap” I’m a little dubious of why it’s being reported and charged in the way it is being.

Ah, definately loved BB as a sprog.

Hence the joke “what do you call an animal with its cunt halfway up its back? A police horse!”.

Oooh I’d forgotten about that! I’ve seen them do that to other horses, but not people (although the funniest horse rage I ever saw was one biting the other on the butt) - so yup, she’s lucky that horse didn’t have a mean streak.

I agree, no matter what side she’s on, striking an animal is NEVER OK. It’s testament to how well trained that horse is for that woman to not have a nifty horse shoe print on her forehead.

Indeed, to bring modern twists into it. “Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of kale”

I feel like those who can should menstruate in his general direction in retaliation just so he can understand the true powerful force that women hold.

Yay thank you! I’ve just got home from the ultrasound, it *is* my thyroid so to me that’s a massive panic over, as whilst apparently it’s crept up my neck, most thyroid tumours are benign. I’m in celebratory mode now as as far as I’m concerned, it’s just another minor illness rather than A Big Poorly. As I’ve…

Well, just got home from scan, it *is* my thyroid after all (it’s just spread quite far up my neck), which is a huge relief since the vast majority of thyroid tumours are benign. Apparently I should expect to be seen by the thyroid clinic quite quickly, and a biopsy will be done, but I feel so much more relaxed!!!

UK, the current government has been strangling the NHS of funds as it doesn’t fit in with their ideologies. Whilst the long has been disconcerting, I’ve had American friends have to open GoFundMes to raise money to pay for chemotherapy, so I know I’m definately much better off in terms of available treatments for any…

I’m just off to bed so probably shouldn’t start a thread, but as I’m not talking to my family and don’t want to worry my friends I could do with just somewhere to say I’m fucking scared.

I’m still trying to work out what she “learned”, maybe “Namaste, Cuntface - The Day I Was Dumped By My Spiritual Friend” would have been a more appropriate title.

What a great kid, you’re right to be proud there!

I feel for those poor girls, even though I had an older brother I was regularly told how devastated the whole family was when my sister and I were born and turned out to be girls. Being repeatedly told you’re worthless purely by dint of fate is something that’s hard to bury psychologically.

... and yet some argue that western women and minorities have nothing left to fight over, everyone’s apparently equal, rah rah rah. Get to fuck. The drive to keep women bare footed & in the kitchen, and minorities in service seems to be still very much in force from where I’m standing.

Nearly cried for your friend there. No one should have to go through the death of a baby and have hardship forced on them, that’s a cruel system and not what should happen in a developed country (or any other, but one that makes a load of noise about being the Best Place Ever should know better than that).

This is why I have a policy of never having sex with a man who has kids. Appart from being as maternal as a brick and not wanting to do step-mum stuff, a proven record of successfully siring a sprog sets off a little bell at the back of my head that I know those balls work, and I know I’d be the one lumped with…

Anyone would think that the top 20% benefit from repressing the vast majority of the country’s citizens to ensure a cheap workforce, stripped of rights due to unavailability of other employment options or something. *cof*

That’s terrifying. On a socially concious level because a developed country should NEVER throw its citizens to the wolves like that, and on a personal level because our current government are trying to install an American style healthcare system (they’re the British version of the Republicans).
