Wish you had noted in this article that for decades, doctors refused to believe this was a real disorder and felt women were just being whiny and hysterical about period pain. It’s only very recently that SOME doctors have started to believe women and treat them for it. IT still takes an average of SIX YEARS for women…

I’m so grateful that Amy has been so open about all her issues with endo and has documented what she’s gone through with how it’s affected her day to day life, her pregnancy, what she’s gone through to get help. So many people believe that because it’s something that affects “women” (“a women’s issue”), it’s…

As you say, it’s different’ in the US. I don’t know how I’d even go about seeing a single physician right now about what I have going on, short of going to the ER again, much less “several.” 

Bracing for the shitty comments. I never understood the magnitude of the hate she gets. Anyway good luck to her.

If you have painful periods, fight, and I mean FIGHT until you get answers.

To be fair (though I don’t know why I should be) Newt got into Catholicism for his current wife. She’s a piece of work as well: just a good Catholic girl, carrying on a multi-year affair with a married man. Although it worked out for her, since Newt got to be ambassador to the Vatican under Trump, so she got to…

I really wish Joy would have asked her how she felt about pedophile priests still getting Communion. Or maybe we could talk about the Republican’s true God, Ronald Reagan, and his ignoring the AIDS crisis.

“But McCain doesn’t seem to care about sharing accurate information to her fans and fellow devout Catholics.”

I don’t think she’s smart enough to come up with any talking points for any topic, she probably parrots her dipshit husband’s ideas. “Here honey read these tomorrow”. 

There was that one time that Meghan publicly called out Bill Clinton for his infidelity.

Hey, Meghan, what do you think your dad and his creator discussed in reference to your dad banning abortion for everyone but you in case you got raped?

Where was this faux concern of spiritual harm to the country and himself for Trump? HMMMMMMM?

It also doesn’t matter really if Biden and other Catholics who are pro-abortion get a slap on the wrist from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, because ultimately if the priest handing out the wafers which represent the body of Christ doesn’t want to restrict people from receiving the sacrament, then…

““He’s going to have to ultimately talk to his creator when the time comes as we all do, and reconcile his politics with his personal faith.””

Uh, okay there, Republican in 2021. 

I don’t remember anyone lionizing Don Draper. He was an asshole. He did terrible things. Even when he tried to be good, he just couldn’t. But eventually we learned a little about his childhood, and what made him what he was.

“Relatively small bear” is a mama bear with her cubs, and is relatively large enough to seriously fuck up a human.

I would die for my 3 cats so I totally get her. 

Thank you for writing so well about what rubbed me the wrong way about this picture.

Agreed. Also a child of divorce. I’m always hesitant to say anything negative about Jolie on this site (because I’ll be set on fire), but when it comes to court proceedings/judgements/decisions, there is NO way it becomes public knowledge unless someone is releasing the information to the press.

As someone who was a minor when parents were divorced and am now an attorney, it would have been cruel to make those kids testify. This is something for court-appointed therapists to discuss with the children and parents to make a determination. Having kids testify in front of a judge about which parent they like more…
