I know, I have so many (more distant relatives) that ask why I don't have kids and I try not to engage in a major discussion about it. Most of them have children from multiple unplanned pregnancies and I am very proactive about birth control and know that if I were to ever become pregnant in spite of my efforts I…

because boobs exist for the aesthetic pleasure of men! That's why it's acceptable!

Are you doing the metal implants or are your having those bad boys cauterized? I would opt for cauterization via laparoscopy because the coil implants are inserted through the cervix and after my excruciating and failed try at having an IUD I have vowed that as God as my witness I will never let my cervix be dilated…

I seriously roll my eyes so hard it gives me a Charlie horse when someone says this to me. Also, even if I were to "change my mind" I am of the firm opinion that exponential population growth is a bad fucking thing for our planet and I don't want to contribute to it. Should I decide I want children, (which I really…

Bingo!

I suppose it refers to whatever the reader chooses. It means nothing to me because I am not a Christian and don't think that my bodily autonomy should be dependent on a really old fucking book. But many, many people believe that this scripture points and to life beginning at conception. And that's a fine belief to…

No, this scripture has the same meaning in whichever biblical translation one might refer to, although the wording might vary slightly.

Most doctors refuse to perfrom tubal ligations on women who don't have children or are under a certain age. Which is fucking…

I loved Felicity! I had her tiny horse and all her books and a fucking wardrobe of outfits for her! Including the matching outfits for meeee! I could be rich...if I hadn't been forced to give her to my little sister when I turned thirteen who then trashed Felicity within weeks and ended up throwing her away....

Well said.

This is really interesting, I didn't know that. How does the Mormon church help people immigrate? Is it a financial thing? Like they go on missions to foreign countries and welcome their converts back to the states by forking over funds? How did your fiancé get on the Mormon welcome wagon?

I would say that it's less about "blackness" and more about being an Uncle Tom.

You have absolutely no concept of the evolution or history of the Republican and Democratic parties. Since 1860 the parties have basically swapped platforms.

Cognitive dissonance.

I saw CitizenjaQ's explanation about the difference between a lab created diamond and a CZ which I mistook for the same thing. That being said, my argument still stands and the diamond industry is a total crock.

THIS is the best story I've ever heard.

I try to spend as little time in Rock Springs as I possibly can. I drive through pretty regularly and never stop. My little sister was adopted from there though. It's not a nice place.

PETER, PAUL AND MARY THAT IS TERRIFYING.
