I just found out my sister is a secret antivaxxer. She has four kids. My mother told me, completely befuddled as to how she raised such an idiot.

My sister is a foster mother. She's been trying to get out of it for years to devote more time to her own kids, but can never say no when there is a child who needs a home. As someone who's seen how hard people work to ensure that these kids are safe and taken care of, I can only hope this woman rots. Fuck her.
*shudder*
As someone who has worked in multiple call centres in my life, this is depressingly common. It's far from the worst customer scenario, though. I knew a woman who kept having someone call her extension and repeatedly ask questions that had long, complicated answers. She just thought he was a dotty old man until she…
Throwing a cigarette out the window is just as disgusting in my book.
As a member of Groupthink, I'm very relieved to have my faith in humanity restored. Thanks for posting this!
My parents were Dutch (now Canadian, as I am), and I have a lot of relatives who still try to defend Zwarte Piet too. I can't believe this tradition is still alive! Are they completely blind?
I'm interested!
That was me when I first read the background. Share the sadness!
Reminds me of the book "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. On his website, in words written for children to understand, he explains where it came from:
Yep, laproscopic cauterization. The more permanent, the better!
Yeah, you can find misogynists anywhere. I don't have any kids, am married, and am still fairly young, and the closest thing to a question my family doctor said was "Wow, that's a big decision." When I said that I knew it was, but that I'd never wanted kids and would rather adopt if I ever changed my mind, he just…
Come to Canada! I hesitated about posting this, but I'm getting one done soon. There was a quick meeting with my family doctor, who didn't question me at all and who referred me to the surgeon who also didn't question my decision. To top it off, it won't cost me a thing (sorry, that's only for Canadian citizens). …
Depends where you live. Thankfully that's not true everythere. I can't believe how women still can't make decisions for themselves in this day and age.
If women lose all rights as soon as there is a zygote inside them, I wouldn't be surprised if tubal ligations soon become the birth control of choice.
The cynical side of me is wondering what they left on the editing room floor, because kids that age certainly know how to be self-conscious about their looks.
Yours were the first books my very conservative parents (unsuccessfully) tried to ban me from reading. In their defense, I was in grade two or three at the time, and reading the books featuring high school students. Do you think your books should be kept from kids until they reach a certain age?
"You taught us that as we go to school one should be a lady in face of the quarrels and complaints. Do you remember how much you underlined the way we behave? Your experience was incorrect. When this incident happened, my teachings did not help me. Being presented in court made me appear as a cold-blooded murderer and…
Her children should be taken away immediately, and the money they've earned should be put out of her reach permanently.
