People who scare women out of medical treatment deserve a special place in hell.

Huh. Here I was thinking this was a great way for people to have children without all the messiness surrounding surrogacy.

This moron just referred to herself as a "token vagina." That right there tells you all you need to know about her view of the worth of women as human beings.

If we're ever shipwrecked together, you can hang out over there.

YEP. I'm finishing a PhD and our advisers tell us ladies straight out that if we ever expect tenure, we can't have a kid. As someone nearing 30, I am so painfully aware that my child-bearing years, before genetic anomalies start appearing around 35, are disappearing and that when I finally do get a job, I'll have to…

A doctor in the group I used to work for got pregnant shortly after she was hired. The actual doctors were all supportive, but the staff made all sorts of comments about how she shouldn't have gotten preggers so shortly after starting work. It was ridiculous, and these were women saying this shit. Internalized sexism…

It must be a real bummer for you that your nightly reading expectations were undermined by this woman's attack. That must be hard for you.

"Wow. That looks rough. I can't even imagine what she did to provoke that."

The press needs to stop calling this a beating or an attack. It's attempted murder and sexual assault. The woman was forced to watch her friend get beaten, then she got beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, threatened with further rape, tortured, and the only reason she's alive is because he decided to go look for a…

It's not a hostile world for new mamas. It's a hostile world for people who are so entitled that they have no consideration for anyone else. I'm sure you don't fall into that category. Just remember that having a baby requires being prepared and making a few sacrifices.

No, honey. Just invest in a capacious diaper bag and make sure it's well stocked with Pampers and changing pads. And never, ever take the baby to the movies until he/she is old enough to sit quiet through the whole film and not disturb other people. Nobody wants to listen to a crying, squalling baby when they're…

Infant shit can smell pretty bad.

I'm with you. And I have changed many a diaper on the floor of a bathroom (including when my twins were infants - one in the carrier and one on the floor). Incredible that she would think that doing so among the diners was OK and the restaurant was somehow in the wrong for kicking her out (yes, there should be a…

OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE A FUCKING DIAPER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESTAURANT.

I would assume because it's alien and scary.

On a purely intellectual level, I understand the whole process. To be honest, after the number of hours I've spent in fertility clinics and OB/GYN offices trying to learn what was going wrong, I'd wager I have a better understanding than most. As a Pagan, I follow female…

It's when someone is hurt and someone else is belittling it.

She wears leggings all the time! But yeah, the t-shirt is throwing me.

What a bunch of bullshit. I really start squirming when I see people doing things just for the sake of awareness, but this is especially ridiculous. If you're going to do something "for awareness" at least spend a little time highlighting how people can contribute to research or help those with the disease. It could…

I have a feeling she is a major part of the problem.

Stop fucking slapping and hitting the cat, you asshole!
