I think it’s an occasional thing. But if you are persistently having the issue, and need to wear an underwire bra (for example, someone who prefers the support of a minimizer), there are non-underwire nursing bras that can provide similar support. If you fly often enough, it might be worth it to grab a mid-range…

Sort of. I’m better at concentrating than my spouse and have found that I’m able to work at home and concentrate just fine once I’ve learned the different cries (i.e., can distinguish between emergency and just play). My husband, who has always had trouble focusing, cannot work at home unless the kids are asleep.

I agree. At our caucus location, there was a lot of really foul and misoyngistic language used against HRC. I don’t see how Bernie can represent me, and people who hate me for being female. If he won’t repudiate them now, do I really think he’ll stand up for my rights, knowing it will cost him support with misogynists…

Same. But I don’t recall having been raped - the guy lied to me about what was in my drink, and I just don’t remember. I remember how my then-friends treated me afterwards. I still have to make nice with some of them infrequently. And when I do, my blood boils inside me and I find some way to covertly needle them on…

This has been an issue in college rape cases for the past few years. I don’t know much about non-college cases, but medical records have definitely been unsealed by courts in civil suits against colleges. Part of that, though, is that the victims received counseling at the college’s health center. But I suspect a…

I think it IS helpful to see so many people talk about how much parenting sucks

Great comment. The only thing I would add is to look for a doctor who advertises they do insertions. Puts it on their website, is excited about IUD. Mine did my insertion 6 weeks after birth (once after vaginal, once C-Section), and she didn’t even need the cervical clamp because the tiny amount of dilation let her…

For that matter, neither his accuser, nor the disciplinary panel, has suggested that his misconduct was sexual in nature, nor have they discussed a ban from campus.

But her decision to shame me in the press and direct my ouster has destroyed my professional reputation.

I’d far rather see the artists perform benefits for PP, Lilith Fund and a repeal campaign.

I think it mostly arises from primary education. Science and math inherently involve problem-solving, thinking outside the box and approaching problems creatively. US primary education emphasizes knowing facts and formulas much more than this type of creative, flexible thinking.

Not to mention that the most successful…

And this wouldn’t take a Democrat out of an important seat. She would be a fantastic choice.

Yes, the extremes. The extremes like ‘a person falling down’, ‘someone becoming sick’, and ‘an old lady forgetting her dog outside.’

No, I don’t think so at all. When my friend fell and hurt her wrist, my other friend and I worked together to get her the medical care she needed. There was another example in the thread of someone whose neighbor had to be taken to the hospital, and that person stepped in to help with the neighbor’s kid. A few months…

They won’t. I’m sure it is immediately apparent that you lack anything resembling basic kindness or human decency.

You can always say no, but I think leaving a child alone in a house while their parent is transported to the hospital or requiring a sick or hurt adult to sit in pain, rather than going to the doctor, while a babysitter travels to come care for the kids is pretty cold. I can’t imagine imagine slamming the door in the…

She knows how.

For everyone replying that your friends can afford baby sitters: have a little compassion.

This is an amazing comment. The only thing I would add to it is that most abortion regulations are local. Hillary Clinton is working with the DNC to fund more state-level candidates - the ones who will actually make a bigger difference in people’s lives.

Women can’t afford to just look at the White House. That won’t…

Holy fuck. Did you projectile vomit straight into his face, forever?
