My guess is any religion with 2 or more people in it has abuse problems.

The book’s premise and approach is fascinating and it sounds like Miriam Toew handled the material in a very thoughtful and respectful way BUT I’m just not sure I have the emotional capacity right now to handle a book like this. Has anyone (presumably from Canada) read it already who can advise how strongly this will…

I know you’re real and all Esther, but...

“....promote traditional values about the family.”

For $1 Billion dollars, and all the evidence that she escaped a total loser, I wish Linda well on her future as Queen I Don’t Give A Fuck

Though Beck told the Baltimore Sun that she does “feel kind of nervous about working with the right wing because they have opposed women’s bodily autonomy, and lesbians’ sovereignty,” it has not stopped her from forming an alliance with Republicans.

According to the GOP, women aren’t people.

This shit is such a slippery slope into “every sperm is sacred” and eggs taking their Host Females to court for not ensuring that they were fertilized in a timely manner. What’s next, men won’t let us have hysterectomies and waste our precious eggs? Oh wait, that’s already basically impossible if you haven’t had…

My wife has gone through 3 miscarriages and 1 successful pregnancy. It is heartbreaking to lose a pregnancy. But at the same time it, any kind of pregnancy is extremely taxing on a woman’s body. It isn’t as simple as having a human being develop and grow in the uterus and pop it out in 9 months. There are…

I wish it were possible for the woman to countersue somehow. There ought to be some way to penalize men for not taking the appropriate steps to corral their invading sperm.
Just for the record, this is a man writing this.

I’m curious though, when you’re “six weeks pregnant” your embryo is not actually six weeks old, you didn’t even have the sex that created the embryo until four weeks ago. Anyone who has been pregnant or knows anything about this knows you count from the date of your last period. The pregnancy likely won’t even show up…

Adding to this, maybe she can work in a little dig like “honestly I’m not even fully sure this one even got it in before he was done and crying onto my chest”

His whole argument basically boils down to a man having the right to suspend a woman’s rights during a 10 month stretch wherein she temporarily loses her personhood. Not that men’s rights as fathers are the actual goal here. 

“I’m here for the men who actually want to have their baby,”

it’s certainly not meaningless pain, especially for someone who dearly wants to become a parent. But another commenter said it first and beautifully here, women are constantly told that babies are the consequences of their actions, maybe men should also assume that this can be a consequence of their actions? 

Technically, it’s not even a fetus yet, not until 8 weeks. At 6 weeks it’s an embryo the size of a pea.

Look, you’re never going to convince people like this that a fetus isn’t a fully developed person who can feed themselves and get a job in 2 months if only their mamma didn’t execute them.

“Baby Roe was approximately six weeks old on February 10, 2017.” Then it isn’t a baby, it’s a fetus or clump of cells in a woman who isn’t a mother and chose not to become one at that point of time. This is enraging, the complete obliteration of the woman as anything but an incubator is horrible. I’m surprised they…

Seriously. I invested in noise cancelling headphones (a joy on planes, also without crying babies) and always bring earplugs.

We should all strive to be considerate to people around us, especially when encased in a small aluminum tube. That means parents do their best to placate kids, and that means everyone else understands that human babies make noise sometimes, and that others realize that bringing that tuna salad and brie sandwich may…
