“2. Knowing women who have had the procedure and why they did it.”

As a Cis, Het, White, at least surface protestant....:;shrugs:: I’ve been fighting this fight for 20 years....I show up to protests.....I make arguments. I present evidence and got, just this very morning from a 20's something man:”Prove to me that a baby’s soul isn’t imbued before the abortion”

What in the Christ…

For me, this was a key idea behind the sex strike that never got brought up. (Also: how much pushback could have been avoided by calling it a sex “boycott”? Since you clearly only boycott things you want, at personal cost for the greater good.)

I am so mad at NY&Co for getting so bad over the years. I used to LOVE them, especially when they were Lerner’s. But the more expensive their stuff gets, the worse it is. Absolutely no shape anymore. 

Have similarly aged toddler, can confirm from this weekend’s yard work that this is 100% accurate.

you never hit that goal though. i am thankfully recovered from anorexia, but when i was deep in it, every time i hit my goal, i would just move it lower. i was getting into double digits (at 5'6) and still kept moving it  downwards. inpatient treatment was the only thing that worked for me, and will likely be the only…

I agree, the woman who was not going to try to recover until she hit her goal weight made me so sad. Hopefully her goal weight isn’t too low. 

Keep in mind that going hand-in-hand with the GOP’s anti-abortion crusade is its push (see, e.g., Kemp dumping hundreds of thousands off the voting rolls in GA) to make it more difficult or impossible to vote for those populations who will be most negatively affected (i.e., the poor and minorities).  Combined with no…

And they haven’t learned a thing. After this law was signed (yep, Gov Ivey signed it) the Berniebots I know were busy tweeting this:

What about the Jane Collective? Is that going to be resurrected? Because if someone needs me to pose as their NYC-based aunt/cousin/niece and come “visit” our lovely city (ONLY FOR TOURISM OF COURSE) I have a pullout couch and am very good at putting care packages together and lying to authority figures.

Exactly. I’ve been saying it for years: progressives and far-leftists need to get their heads out of their ideologically pure asses and start obsessing over the courts the way Republicans have for decades, and also stop being so fucking narcissistic as to assume they are the majority of the Democratic party…

“I regret my abortion”

Ok, which bath bombs are you using that make his eczema better?  (asking for myself!!!)

Why has E.L James not yet had this epiphany? Is she actively trying to write smut for tweens?

Yep. We have very little time to put together the perfect trendy hipster outfit. I know a woman with kids who’s in her mid 30s and she manages to wear outfits like that-- very edgy. It’s great! But that’s a tall order for me as a 46 year old attorney and mom of teens. So yea, even dressed up, I’m going to look like a…

As an over 50 mother of a 12 and 10 year old, I can tell you that it’s a double whammy of sartorial judgement being a Granny Mom. You’ve either “given up” or you’re “trying too hard”. And the style you’re allowed to have post-menopause makes Mom Style look like a sex goddess.

I happily explain to me teen daughters the massive delightful freedom of being over 30--a magical passage of years that allows you to literally not care about what is in style or what others thing. :D I’m actually commenting way more than I thought I would giving the article made me roll my eyes and thing “who had…

I haven’t either. My life didn’t change all that much when I had a kid so I have no idea what dramatic transformations these mommy bloggers are always referring to. I’m literally wearing the same exercise capris and t shirt I’ve had since before I was married. My work wardrobe hasn't changed much either aside from me…

That’s interesting. I don’t think I ever experienced “mom style” either in my own mother, my friends’ mothers growing up, myself or any other mothers I know. For me it’s entirely a TV/media phenomenon. Growing up in the 60s/70s I remember my mother in a lime green mini dress with go-go boots, in purple hot pants and…

I’d always assumed the real reason bra manufacturers don’t want to cater to the smaller band size/large cup size crowd is because there’s an assumption that those breasts are fake.
