I'm sorry, I lost it at "borzoi-saluki" and am now imagining the flowing locks on her ears, downy belly, etc. We love our greyhound but I wish he had a little more fluff.

This isn't "your kid" coming first. This is you coming first. Like raineyb1013 said, you shouldn't even be allowed out with other human beings.

We live in a word where we don't want E.Coli mixed in with our dining.

In that case stay your ass at home because you're too damn selfish, lazy, and disgusting to be allowed out with regular human beings.

All I need to know about this woman was summed up with the kids name: Reagan.

I totally read this as "Dog loses his shit over a new kitchen." I'd lose my shit over a new kitchen too.

I truly cannot for the life of me figure out how this piece got published. The fact that women get periods and sometimes that hastens the end of the useful life of a pair of underwear is not worth this much real estate.

Wait, how was this wonderful? Jolie Kerr wrote an article about how to actually care for your garments and solve issues. This was literally just "you buy underwear, things happen to them, eventually you throw them away". And she said "Aunt Flow" It's not a euphemism if you say that. No human being is named Flow

It's all good; you're right, a lot of people do come in all "WTF did you read it for then?" and think that's the comment equivalent of a mic drop. I was hoping the "serious question" in front and the thoughtful response I'd already posted would head that off, but it didn't, so I didn't get my knickers in a twist when

Because it wasn't actually a rhetorical question, and I wasn't attempting to put anyone in "their place" (wherever that might be). I was legitimately interested in why, if the headline referencing hot farts was offensive, you'd choose to read an article all about it. Because if I read a headline that makes me go

Do men not have assholes?

Lesson: When you see something really messed up, ask people if they're okay. Don't film it.

She never consented. The situation you described is still rape. Also, "we" are not labeling it as rape; the girl said it was rape, the referenced article said it was rape, and then this Jez article said it was rape. My instinct is not to immediately doubt someone who says she's raped.

Q: "Do you want this?"
A: "No."

the first 6-8 weeks after are like this. Then you come out of it, things get better. Many women nurse long past the newborn stage. Maybe they don't want frumpy postpartum undies and bras forever. I'm 5 1/2 months post partum. I ordered new pretty bras and undies last month. I don't ever want to see the stuff I bled

Exactly. Babies and toddlers consume so much of you, by necessity. And you love them and you're happy to do it, but I remember feeling horrible that my life was now dictated by a tiny, screaming tyrant that slept for two hours at a time _and_ I had huge-ass, ugly maternity underwear to cover a body that no longer felt

I mean this in the nicest way, but do you really need to hear about some other woman's farts? I mean, is motherhood so mundane that this is actually interesting for you to read?

"In case you didn't know"

I have breast fed for over a year (this is my 2nd kid and I did the same with my 1st). While I agree that looking/feeling/seeming sexy might not be priority NUMBER ONE right after you've had a kid, it makes sense that down the road it might eeeek back into at least a top 20 list of
