I work in a psychiatric hospital that serves primarily lower income patients. We know that people are sacrificing in many ways by being there. Saying “it’s good that you were able to do some self care” is an attempt to put a positive spin on that sacrifice.

Self-care is a really simple and yet really weird, complex…

Yes, it’s true that women’s health and health care experiences have largely been ignored or belittled. Women have literally suffered because of it and still do.

No one with three kids, a dog, AND a pristine white couch is relatable in my book. Kids and dog, sure. A white couch. With kids and dog? Nope. I’m out. Don’t buy it.

Alternatively, she could shut the fuck up about her #SponCon vacation being cancelled and how she plans to “hit” the resort next year when people who actually live on that island are at great physical and material risk. It costs zero dollars and zero sense to have some fucking humanity and realize not everything is…

but I do think that trying to say they shouldn’t have even drawn tasers or pepper spray is a little absurd.

Speaking of the “book author,” can we please bring back the 500 days of Kristin series; for old trolling times sake?

I am a corporate flight attendant, and my work attire consists of control top pantyhose, dresses or suits, and cutesy scarves that are super cute but make me feel like I’m being choked to death for hours. So basically my only take on this post is my raging jealousy at what you guys get to wear to work.

You are 100% correct. And I am a parent, a single parent for the last 11 years to boot, with two teen girls whose dad moved around the world two years ago. I also spent the last couple of years having the rest of my life fall completely apart. One day, in the depths of a severe depression, fear, hopelessness and…

What makes you think I suggested that all rape allegations should be taken as true? Numerous studies have estimated that around 2% of rape allegations are false — about the same percentage as allegations of other types of crime like robberies, iirc. I believe in that stat — I think about 2% are false, and I believe…

I have told you I don’t want to discuss anything with you like four times.

... but now I’m gonna try to make a long-winded case about it actually being his fault

Nah previous statement stands. If you come to the bottom of an article about the rescue work of animals in SF and post that an animal deserves to die a slow, agonizing death solely because it existed in the first place, you’re an asshole and most likely also a troll. My only regret is that asmallcat replied to you and…

Wow fuck you.

Man, I largely agree with your assessment about after-the-fact consent and the author’s willpower/lack of accountability, but I don’t think that’s the point?

The full Jolie.

This advice is so good that I’m thinking about taking it even though I’m happily married with no children.

I’ll bite.

You missed the whole point of this article.

I am going to call bullshit with Manwich’s statement. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. And, even if that consent is not or can not be verbalized (be it through intimidation, inebriation or being drugged, etc)... and especially when our right to give/refuse consent is taken away. It is that denial of our rights,…

My god, please, please go away.
