I’m just so disappointed that this article didn’t begin “Avril Lavigne isn’t dead--she’s born again.” It was RIGHT THERE! 

So 44 stars later as well as some constructive criticism and disagreements that I totally understand and can see that side of. I’ve learned some things. Frankly I have no skin in this game and every woman here is going to have a different experience, each valid in its own way. Was just trying to understand and contribu…

Yes but surely you see the difference between that scenario and the one described in the article. My grandmother lived through the depression, dropped out of school for a bit to help her brothers run moonshine to support the family, had amazing adventures as a child doing this work. It was a character building…

By your own anecdote, it is not free. The women need food input to continue to lactate lest malnutrition affect lactation. Now I’m not going to dig into the caloric and nutritive conversion of food to breast milk and breast milk’s own caloric and nutritive qualities *pushes up glasses* but to say breast milk is free…

My son’s in first grade and there is a classmate whose mom carries him everywhere. She’s petite and he’s not a peanut; his feet dangle past her knees. She carries him from the bus, she carries him to the bus, he sits on top of her on the bus. I thought maybe he had some kind of mobility challenge but them I saw him at…

I work in education and am a mom. I had a stay at home mom who very much so made her children her life. It was fucked up that she didn’t have anything else and has caused a lot of issues with my sister and myself as we became adults who **gasp** would want their own lives. I’ve seen what helicopter mothers do to their…

I know I’m wading into a ball pit filled with mousetraps trying to comment on this while being a man... but I knew a woman who was breastfeeding her 4 year old. I remember him finishing with one side and verbally asking his Mom to switch to the other side. And if she refused or told him he was done, he threw a tantrum.

Really? My girls are sizable and small babies will often start rooting around when I hold them if they are hungry.

I’ve had it happen to me, FWIW. Not sure if it’s rare or not. I would think a child of a certain age would be able to distinguish between mother boobs and non-mother boobs, but who knows?

I’ve had it happen with babies... I’ve never come across a breastfeeding three year old, thank god.

Part of the struggle of breastfeeding is that you end up completely living for the express purpose of nursing your kid. You have to watch what you eat and drink. You have to drop what you’re doing and spend a half hour or more doing nothing but nursing (maybe reading a book, but it’s hard to read when the kid is being…

It’s not selfish to want your body back. It's YOUR BODY after all.

It’s not selfish to want your body back. We give our bodies over as soon as we’re pregnant (and in many cases, long before when we start trying to get pregnant) and we put ourselves second or third for so long. 

It’s funny how only antifa protesters get arrested at these events, while neo-Nazi and white supremacist’s get protected by the police, no matter how violent they are....#ACAB

Also the Republican Club was vandalized yet they gave no proof who actually did it and what their motivations were. The Proud Nazis are using the blame as fuel for their self righteous anger, but we don’t know who did it. Let’s use a Trump taking point - Many people are saying the Proud Boys may have done this…

Every federal employee, up to the shitstain President, that has touched this criminal conspiracy against refugee children needs to lose their job and be tried for unlawful imprisonment and child endangerment at the least.

Democrats can’t stop throwing everyone else under the bus in the hope of getting a few white male voters. It’s a losing strategy, it’s BEEN a losing strategy, but people will shout you down if you point out that maybe they should try reaching out to the constituents they keep throwing under the bus. Maybe try…

I live in Memphis. And I am going to *happily* vote for Phil Bredesen. I don’t give a FUCK about what he said about Kavanaugh one way or the other.

Well Ronnie Reagan did become Prez too and he was a washed-up B-list cowboy actor (who was also a racist, and fraternized with rich shitty elitist shits who enrichened themselves at everybody else’s expense AKA Reaganomics), so today is not entirely without precedent in Merica.

Imagine waking up from a 5 year coma today and the past 24 hours of news is what you are inundated with first (just the past day of events, not the last month or year). How long would it take before you accepted that this was, in fact, reality now? Hours? Days? Another 5 years?
