Anyone have a good response to anti-choice people who say “most” abortions are women using abortion for birth control and that America has the most abortions of any country in the world. Because throwing facts at them does not work.

That scares me more than anything else these days. How can you educate people if they…

I must be a masochist, because I looked at that book on Amazon and had to see the the negative reviews. There aren’t many and they all make me mad. Most say this is a poorly researched book of lies and liberal propaganda. One says that “this is why people don’t take women’s history seriously.” My favorite is the one…

I would now like to apologize for the actions of my parents, who never tipped a delivery guy, snow storm or otherwise, because “he’s paid to deliver. Why should I give him a tip for doing what he is already paid to do?”

I love your great grandmother.

I have a feeling it has more to do with who votes, not just for President, but all elections - local and otherwise. These candidates are only here because they were voted into various government positions. If only 5% of the population votes and they are all religious nuts, then you were pander to them for the sake of…

I so hate the “awesome people are aborted” argument.
what about the children without access to quality education? To a quality diet to stimulate their minds? What about the girls who are told it’s more important to be pretty than smart, to have children instead of a career?

It has to be said:

I’ve been thinking around those same lines. Originally, I thought of having a joint account where a certain amount goes into our personal accounts each month. The reverse works, too, though. Keep your account and agree on how much each person will put into the joint account.

I understand now, and I think you are wrong. Only fetuses have the right to life. Once born, they become tainted by original sin, which makes their life less sacred should they choose to give in to that sin.

I have always always always thought having a joint bank account was a benefit, but now I’m kind of rethinking things. It’s funny, because my boyfriend is the one who keeps saying we don’t need to combine finances.

But what about the sanctity of life?

I would like to take a poll of GOP politicians to see what percentage of them were and were not virgins upon marriage. Last I checked, only 3% of US adults are virgins at marriage and only 11% were virgins from 1950 - 1968. So where do these people get off with all their judgement toward people who have sex?

I’m only happy if their party really does burn to the ground (please, everyone, PLEASE vote)

I really like that they switched seats to talk about white privilege. Too often I hear people deny that it exist, but it’s so hard to see your own privilege, especially if everyone around you is like you. White people growing up in Iowa have no idea of the privilege they have compared to black people on the south side…

I feel like every woman has had at least one boyfriend she has feared might kill her. I remember the guy I was dating in high school. The only reason I kept dating him beyond a month was because I was afraid he would hurt someone or himself. He was so infuriated with jealously after prom because boyfriends of my…

Also, I think the first kids to have sex will have it in middle school. I had a friend who lost her virginity in 5th grade. We might not be able to teach every kid before they have sex, but we can reach most if we teach in middle school.

Side note: I think this is also important from a sex abuse point of view. I feel…

That’s always been how my family operates. Don’t talk about it and then it’s never really happening.

I’ve always thought that should be a standard for men and women, but mostly men. At the end of the day, anyone can rape anyone given the means to do so. People will disagree on what is “legitimate rape,” though. I almost think it would be best to talk about what is legally rape and how to stay out of trouble. A drunk…

I get you! My father had a cow when I wanted to go to a University instead of community college like he did. I went straight to the 4-year college because the way my program was organized, I would have had to stay in college for at least 5 years to get that 4-year degree.

Lo and behold, my father went to a two year…

Every woman I know has some experience like this. Mine was in high school and it’s about the only time my super conservative upbringing saved me because we didn’t end up having sex. Still, we did other things. I remember asking myself these same questions. Did I want it to happen or not? Did I enjoy it or not? Was I…
