Eh. I like Paleo because it helps me lose weight without being cranky and Crossfit because it only takes, like, 15 minutes, not because I think our Cro-Magnon forebears were, like, so much healthier than us. So don't punch me!

I actually cackled upon reading this. And let me tell you, I am one insufferable white woman.

Yep. That IS all I need to know. But if I needed to know more, I could just think: lady thinks it's a good idea to drag around an organ that is no longer useful and let it rot next to her newborn for almost a week. Because that's what the chimps do.

This comment is the best.

Last year I got a corneal ulcer from my poorly fitting astigmatic contact lenses (not colored). HOLY CRAP YOU DO NOT WANT A CORNEAL ULCER. It was very painful, such that I went to the ER and they prescribed me percocet immediately. And while I'm back to wearing my contacts, that eye has not been the same since and my…

Yeah, I think what the date says is terrifying and sinister too. Just horrible. I have little girls and I think this story is going to be in the back of my mind for a long time.

In some ways that's a relief to hear. Also, I re-thought my math and realized that if I was a 9 year old in 1990, then the parents' marriage must have happened in the late 70's, not the 80's. But still. At the time I got the impression that it was something they didn't really talk about because it wasn't socially…

You need a new doctor. They're not all like that. Seriously. I go to military hospitals, and when I was pregnant the advice I got was "Try to limit yourself to 2 cups of coffee a day, but it probably won't hurt the baby even if you drink a whole pot, so don't stress out."

That is horrible. Jesus.

I've been waiting for Jezebel to pick up on this story so I could just rage a little about it. WHAT IN THE FUCKING EVERLOVING FUCK??? Just WHAT!! I hope this lady sues. I hope she wins. I hope everyone involved in her illegal treatment develops painful hemorrhoids. I hope that the (male?) doctor who did this to her…

Sigh. I was not denigrating the haka tradition. I think the dance itself is awesome. I love seeing it. Who wouldn't like the haka? I was referring to your attempt to protect it from a perceived insult, which does not exist.

Holy crap, that is a great comment.

Yep, you are 100% entitled to your opinion. I just disagree with your opinion. See how that works? I'm not trying to stifle you — speak out, o protector of nothing very much! I just ALSO have an opinion.

Nope! 1. The haka is a dance that invites response/retaliation. 2. No one there seemed to mind. 3. This is really not a big deal. The only person I've heard of with a problem with it is, uh, you.

Do you mind if I call you no fun?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I think we always have. I would say that kids are probably LESS sexualized now than they have ever been. Like, child prostitution and exploitation for most of history has been no big thing. And likewise, while I think that the idea of a 6 year old being capable of "tempting" an…

Congratulations in advance! Don't feel guilty for a second. Your baby is going to be loved and happy and welcomed and warm and safe and all the other good things that babies need. And he or she will grow strong and healthy on the formula given by you, his or her loving mother.

Jesus that is horrible.

Sure, I got it. And I think that's an admirable sentiment — like seriously, it is insane to buy a bodily fluid online and then feed it to your baby. Much much better to go with the formula even if you're a rigid breastfeeding advocate. And I understand who you're directing your comment at. But still — I just think…

That is a great question, seriously. I wish someone had actually attempted to discover the answer.
