Yeeesh. Lots of stupid stuff on both sides, sounds like. Thing one is that, if the hospital really did force this lady to have a c-section, that’s assault. It’s terrible. No one should be forced to undergo surgery, for any reason, no matter what.

An oldie but goodie: should the National League implement designated hitters?

This was my take too. I think the allegations here are pretty fantastical. I just don’t think that Trump is that kind of planner. He’s an opportunistic grabber.

I actually don’t believe it. I hate Trump and am a Hillary voter 100%, so not a Trumpster at all. And I also 100% believe the women who say that he groped them. But this allegation is WORLDS apart from the groping allegations. It strikes me as probably false, and I had to think about why. Several reasons: 1. It just…

This is an underappreciated comment.

I live in DC. I am a government lawyer. My husband is a government lawyer. We make a ton of money, by most people’s standards. We are sending an infant to full time daycare and pay for after school care for our two school aged kids. We pay about $2300/month, all told, and that’s cheap at the price. We’re fucking LUCKY…

Yep. My husband and I managed it with our first kid because he worked from home, we had laundry in the building (ridiculously expensive, but we both had decent jobs and could afford it), and my first kid tended to give us solid, compact poops and not the horrifying poopsplosions that kid #2 manufactured. Take any one…

Solid article, but a quibble: fertile cervical mucus is NOT thick and gooey. It’s thin and slippery, the better to help the sperm on its way up to the egg.

WORD. I was always pro-choice, but I became even more fervently pro-choice once I’d had a kid. Nobody should be drafted into motherhood. This here needs to be an all-volunteer force, because it is some serious shit. The things that happen to your body during and after pregnancy and childbirth are crazy. No one should…

Same. Times Infinity.

That is actually not legally true. Or rather, explicit consent is not the standard.

Thank you for this. People think that being drunk removes the ability to consent legally. It does not.

OK. So I think you’re drawing the wrong conclusion here. These guys are admitting to raping unconscious people or rape by force. They are irredeemable scum. And the percentage — 6!!! — is terrifying.

I love you.

Can we just get rid of frats?* Like totally? They serve no purpose. They are just cesspits of alcohol abuse, sexism, rape, and douchebaggery. Even frats where sex assault and alcohol poisoning aren’t everyday occurrences perpetuate the white male old-boys’ network. Sororities aren’t much better. Less sex assault, more…

The military will actually pay for some of the costs of adoption, but it’s a very small percentage. Like, they’ll cover around $2k. Adoption costs somewhere between $5k for the most basic domestic adoption to about $30k for complicated international ones. And once again, the MILITARY will pay for it. Not the VA. So if…

ILLOGICAL?

Holy shit I know. I know.

Because thinness in white women is shorthand for a number of things: education level, class, force of will. Stuff like that. The white woman who is thin is doing it right. She’s eating 1200 calories a day or less. She goes to the gym regularly, doesn’t miss a workout. If she drinks wine at dinner, she’s not having the…

Derp. Because women may exceed men in colleges, but not in the boardroom, and not in Congress, and not in <insert position of power here>.
