I mean, I don't think it's quite fair to say that we have to figure out women's relationship to sex before we can figure out women's relationship to porn. There's no reason why we shouldn't talk about both, and recognize how intertwined they are. And it's hardly pointless—for straight women, the men who are their sex…

"But I watch quite a lot of porn and you have to look for it but there is lots of porn out there that definitely features women being pleasured and that isn't solely filmed around what a guy would enjoy watching. And a lot of it is amateur. I know because I hate the fake tits, bleached hair, square acrylic nails and…

in the US, it is free if you can't afford it. Do you know how much mothers in other countries would kill to have this available? I read a report about how we are immune to the effects of the eradicated diseases. Women in developing countries will walk 10 miles to get their children the vaccines because they've seen…

We need to get rid of philosophical and religious exemptions. Medical exemptions only. I am fucking tired of this shit.

This personal exemption clause BS needs to stop. Unless someone can't get a vaccine for health reasons, NO EXEMPTIONS!

Earlier last year, while at college. I caught Tuberculosis, because I'm one of the very few people the vaccine doesn't work on. Everyone at the college was supposed to be vaccinated, but apparently my college also had a personal exemption clause. And that is probably how I got TB.

Right??? Like who the fuck is just fine with their child missing an entire semester of school for something entirely avoidable and against the child's own wishes? I feel so bad for that girl.

Something tells me the conversation and reaction to all of this would be preeeetty different if the anti-vaxxers currently spreading horrible diseases around the country were poor and brown instead of rich and white. Instead of "personal belief exemptions" we'd have kids getting ripped from their parents by CPS,…

My aunt died at age 7 in the 60s from a disease that is now almost gone thanks to the TDaP. I know my grandparents and her siblings would give their right arm to have today's vaccine to prevent her death.

Oh, I am so judging the hell out of that lady and her crappy parenting techniques. Anti-vaxxers are nuts, but to top it off with boasting about how she would gladly prevent her child from education should be considered child abuse.

Yeah I'm surprised there hasn't been some sort of legal intervention there, or in a lot of these cases. We see parents charged with neglect and endangerment for refusing to seek medical treatment for their sick children, this whole situation is just one step away from that. In the case of the 16-year-old, we have…

"Endangering:" is the key word there. This is about reckless endangerment of everyone's children, not just one's own. I find it really hard to believe that they're sincerely motivated by concern for their children as opposed to parenting as a selfish extension of one's own politics;

My twins are on the autism spectrum. They are verbal and high functioning so they don't have a lot of the "bad" traits people associate with autism. Still, I get so pissed when people say they don't want vaccines because "Autism!" because they rather risk their kids dying painful deaths then have kids like mine.

my mother used to work with NGOs who would give vaccinations to the amish & even they were smart enough to agree to get fucking vaccinated.

I have to say (as someone on the autism spectrum).

YOUR DAUGHTER WANTS THE SHOT LET HER HAVE THE DAMN SHOT YOU TERRIBLE, STUPID HUMAN

"who "meditated on it a lot" before deciding against vaccinating her son, Tobias."

She said they ate well and had never been to the doctor, and she insisted that her daughter was healthier than many classmates.

Anti-vaxxers make me absolutely BONKERS. I just cannot handle these types of people! And sorry, but your tenacious desire to maintain your delusions is not so sacrosanct that you should be allowed to put others at risk.

Fuck all of this. It's time for school districts to put on their big folks pants, stop kowtowking to anti-science nutbars and eliminate personal belief exemptions. Your stupid, ignorant-ass beliefs should not be imposed on your children and endangering others. If we can force Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian…
