The un-ironic use of phrases like "political correctness" or "White Guilt" are tell-tale signs of a person's inherent racist tendencies. The author of that article is either one of those "too stupid to see I'm racist" racists or one of those "too cowardly to admit it" racists.

Oh Joy, Sex Toy did a great strip where she interviewed a few dancers for their opinions on this. It only reconfirmed that I'm WAY too poor to go to a club, unfortunately. http://www.ohjoysextoy.com/stripclub/

I don't think the poster knows what they're saying either. The response is a non sequitur.

Trust me, I'm at heart a no-fun second-wave Dworkin-esque feminist and in my daytime hours I am liable to obsess over the problematic nature of ANY kind of sexual objectification.

Sploosh.

All dogs are a lot of work, especially puppies. And there are plenty of puppies at shelters. My first dog was born at the shelter and I had to wait to pick him up. He was infinitely more work than the 7 year old and 3 year old I have since adopted. Saying you want a puppy so you need to get it from a breeder is a

Exactly. I wouldn't dare pass judgement on a person based on the small amount of available information we have. There's always a chance that she feared retribution for taking the child to a hospital.

That sounds like an amazing system. Not to often I here much good about Quebec (usually just the crazy stuff). Good to be reminded that it isn't all crazies and in many ways has it's shit together more than my country (or state I suppose).

I've been reading comments and getting so upset at the judgement without understanding all the factors, and then you show up. Thank you. I stayed with my husband through so much shit. I felt isolated, we moved to Louisiana and my closest family was 9 hours away. I didn't work because day care is fucking expensive and

I totally agree. I think it's also important to recognize, however, that often the most economically and psychologically vulnerable mothers are the ones who have the fewest choices. When your job prospects are affected by the lack of affordable daycare, for instance, it can make a huge difference to have someone in

I have a cousin who is 3 months younger than me. When I was 3 I was on this medicine that I thought tasted awesome, I'd say it was yummy, etc. Anyway, my cousin was staying with us during this. My mom gave me the medicine, put it up in the cabinet. My cousin then *scaled the kitchen cabinets* and drank the bottle

I've never posted here before but always lurked. As a survivor of domestic violence, the responses here really sadden me.

Privilege, you have spoken. Women who are single or POC or lower socio-economic status or between jobs or on welfare or with abusive partners or any combination of the above are all women who think that every time they bring their child to school, or god forbid, the hospital will have their children taken away.

My other thought is, if she had access to affordable day care, maybe she would have gotten away from that sick bastard more easily as well.

Molly White is only a "representative" due to extreme gerrymandering and ran unchallenged in the general election. She is a symptom of a bigger problem, a problem that has so many ramifications in our daily lives of people.

Republicans are sneaky little shits. By the time you find out you're pregnant and can get the time off to attend a clinic appointment, you're probably over seven weeks. Detailed anatomy scans are done at around 20 weeks and it's only after repeat scans or second opinions can you confirm certain diagnoses. You won't
