I loved this part:

That “what if your father raped someone” question is absolutely fucking disgusting. I know the lawyer was just doing her job etc but JFC.

This is something I don’t often indulge in (because $$$$) but Hanae Mori caftans from the 70s-80s are off the rails. They are so gorgeous.

Sometimes the “emergency” button in the elevator rings directly to 911.

I didn’t hold a party when I became invisible to men, but I should have.

Yes. One of the most liberating things about getting older (I am 37) is that I’m not constantly being harassed by creeps who think my looks make me an object for their use and my youth makes me an easy target. Not only are men like him ageist but they are also scared little punks because they are afraid of women their…

Mike Pence looks like a stick of deodorant that someone taught to wince.

My school district runs a full time health clinic out of the high school nurses office and it charges a smaller fee than a regular co-pay or cash visit. This article doesn’t go into detail, but our school nurse will give vaccinations, physicals, and prescribe drugs. Many other districts do the same.

Bernie was such a good candidate that he lost to Hillary by over 3 million Democratic votes. And she didn’t even go after him hard.

Paul Ryan; Josh Hawley; Ted Cruz; Marco Rubio; Bobby Jindal; Sarah Palin; and Mike Pence. All under 6o.

I love your thoughtful point of view though I absolutely cannot agree.

Hear, hear! I’m tired of the old people=bad stereotype. I’m 57, and I’ve been in the trenches, fighting for education, representation, civil rights, you name it, for most of my life. I’m no more ignorant and complacent now than I was at 17, but I am tired of being rejected as an ally simply because of my age. 

FDR: The dirty socialist America elected four times and only stopped electing him because he died.

I love what she’s doing here because the right is doing exactly what they did to Hillary Clinton for years. But instead of waffling or trying to prove that she isn’t all these terrible things they say (remember Hillary baking cookies as first lady to try and appease the right?) AOC is doubling down and throwing her…

What I like about AOC is she is genuine and she is not here for any condescending shit from Old White Men™. She has priorities and ideas and you don’t a sense that she’s trying to come off as the world’s greatest expert on every issue...just that she knows what the problems are and that we need to get working on new…

WTAF! This is so terrible. Why do this other than being a sick person? Also, medicating people who are not sick? I wish you could find her and sue her. 

You must have an enviable track record with doctors then. I absolutely have been shamed and blamed by a medical professional before. 

a former (male) obgyn i saw told me to practice abstinence when i said i had multiple partners but used contraceptives and condoms. it makes you feel shitty.

1) It’s not always easy to overcome internalized feelings of shame associated with sex and sexuality, particularly when you’re feeling afraid and vulnerable in a doctor’s office and/or you’ve grown up in a culture that makes a lot of value judgments about sexual activity
2) Some doctors ABSOLUTELY will shame and blame…

Considering how indoctrinated women are into thinking their sexual activity is shameful — by parents, by other adults, by politicians, by religious folk, by society in general — it’s not surprising at all.
