Seriously! Someone mentioned "learning curve" when talking about the first time using a tampon, and I thought about the first SEVERAL months of using my Diva Cup. One particular time while clearing it out it in a bathroom stall at work, with my boss who was in from corporate main office in the stall next to me, I…

My first time wasn't really gross - it was more embarrassing and kinda funny than anything else. My mom was out of town on a business trip so I had to deal with it all myself. Which was totally fine with me because I was a late bloomer and was actually excited to finally join club menses along with all my friends who…

mine is SPOT ON! Especially the neurotic part.

Oh hey, pregnant boy. You knocked up yet? Why don't you quit your yapping and waddle your pregnant ass into the kitchen and FIX ME A SAMMICH!!

I could tell in your other replies that this is important to you. I apologize that my tone didn't convey that, before. Also, I surely didn't intend to be adversarial with you but I re-read and see that I was. You're on the defensive because I accused you of being wrong. The reason I did that is because I don't…

You are important and exceptional.

I'm thankful my youngest is just now passed the age where this is a threat. I know how terribly forgetful I am when I'm in autopilot mode.

I used "like" like 10 times in this post! Twee!!

I have to be honest and confess I did the same thing only just like 3 weeks ago. I found articles from like 2008 explaining it!! I was like "whaaaa?! I'm shoulda been knowing about this for like at least 5 years now!!"

Ah yes. Of course.

too busy trolling the interwebz :P

I NEED to know who Ellen's twee boyfriend was!!

Do you know what 'doubling down' even means? It's essentially a refusal to see or comprehend the opposing view. Thing is, I do see your point. If you've been reading my comments then you read my anecdote to Nilli. (Who was far more respectful in their response, unlike you) My story illustrated my own thoughts on the…

To be consistent in my original thought that this isn't a petty or trivial issue, I would like to offer a more thoughtful reply.

I don't mean to be condescending (I kinda feel like what I'm about to say may come off as such) but I do see that you are a guy who genuinely wants to be part of the solution, an ally, as many call it. It's just I don't feel you completely understand the root cause of the "blame-y" line of questioning most rape…

I disagree with you. And your comments lean towards perpetuating the problem. "Typical men's" reactions shouldn't be typical. It's part of rape culture and rape culture is a dysfunction, not a natural default.

And not only that but I also, according to you, made unfair assumptions about what kind of husband you are to your pregnant wife. Please, allow me to clear that up, immediately. I wouldn't dare assume anyone would want to marry you, let alone have your baby, but that's probably because I also assume the '97 in your…

A group of trusted friends and classmates slipped a roofie in my Cherry 7-Up and raped me backstage after a school play we all starred in together. Please, oh wise one, tell me where I went wrong!

This made me cry! I love her so much! Truly inspirational!!
