I was an unfortunate benificiary of “the husband stitch” after I gave birth and had to get sewn up. It was definitely much much tighter, which made sex really scary for a while. I had to basically do the opposite of Kegels to get back to a semi-normal state. Doctors - do not do this without permission!

My mother took me to a doctor the summer between 8th and 9th grade under questionable circumstances that I later realized was most likely a virginity test (which I lost at the average age of 16). That doctor told me I had a “common abnormality” and proceeded to draw my labia (one is longer than the other) on the paper…

The job of a medical professional who is asked if a patients vulva is “normal” is to offer reassurance, barring something truly being wrong. Vulvas come in all shapes and sizes, and longer labia minora are absolutely normal. See here: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_582f7ca7e4b030997bbf76ca

I can’t help but think about trends in eyebrows right now. Women used to pluck them into oblivion. Now they are drawing them back in, tattooing them back on, and all of the things to have thicker more shapely eyebrows. And that’s relatively simple, if not weird to me.

Anybody else have tightly crossed legs while reading this?

This bothers me most of all and I don’t even know why.

10/10 would love to see you do those things to that stupid motherfucker. Also so sorry your pregnancy is so tough.

I didn’t think I could be more pro choice than I already was. Then I got pregnant (planned and on purpose, only saying this to indicate that it still sucks even when you want it) and somehow I’m even more pro choice. Pregnancy is garbage. Even when you want it and it’s totally healthy and normal. It still suuuuuucks.

As a currently pregnant person, I’d like to tell this man to fuck the fuck off with his host bullshit. I wanted this baby and pregnancy is miserable as FUCK. This isn’t hosting, this is being bled fucking dry by a goddamned alien (if you’re reading this in the future, little dude, just know that I mean every fucking…

This guy said all kinds of stupid bullshit, BUT: I fucking hate being pregnant, you guys. I 100% feel like I am an unwilling host, unable to control anything about my body, and I really want this fetus to be done growing and get the fuck out of me (23 more weeks to go!). I’ve come to terms with hating this fucking…

And there it is.

So are we a host when we have a penis inside us? Does that penis belong to us while we are hosting it? Can we do with it whatever we want? Just asking.

I grew up in a house surrounded by books; even though my parents were rather conservative, they were extremely well-read. My husband’s side of the family, though - Trumpers all - doesn’t read much beyond the local paper, and you’re hard-pressed to find a “library” in any of their tidy homes, despite the fact they’ve…

No, they’d only allow women to read a picture Bible— no words. Words have too much power.

Sunday’s WaPo paperback bestseller list has four books (out of ten) whose new popularity is clearly driven by concerns about 45 and President Bannon:
- The Handmaid’s Tale
- 1984
- Animal Farm
- It Can’t Happen Here (Sinclair Lewis)

Here’s mine

“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put your finger on.”-The Handmaid’s Tale

This was the backside of one of my women’s march signs:

I lost a lot of respect for her when I learned she was a Scientologist.

That trailer is terrifying. I’ve the read the book a thousand times so I know what’s gonna happen but DAMN is it gonna be hard to watch.
