No, I know - I’m not disputing the idea that a boy could be a victim of sexual abuse, I’m disputing the assumption that not listing the gender of the child (which is inaccurate to begin with) means that the child must be a boy.

Oh, he will be. The corps doesn’t fuck around with this.

In what way is this a reasonable conclusion?

One time, when I was at peak difficult teenager stage (14 or so), my mother and my dad decided to go on a romantic weekend trip to San Francisco. Given that I knew that they sort of hated each other and that I was a total pain in the ass, I didn’t understand why I couldn’t go and was super vocal about it- until my…

I’m pretty sure that’s called “having your shit together like an adult”, not “anticipating that your new partner is going to cheat”.

How is that not too extreme? Don’t enter in to a new relationship if you’re gonna bring a u-haul full of trust issues with you. It’s not fair.

No, according to the nail salon owner quoted in this article.

Those people need to get over themselves. It’s not anyone's responsibility to enjoy something just because someone else can't do it.

Yeah, the ability to chew through things makes keeping your preschoolers in cages pretty ineffective. They’ll do almost anything to escape, tricky devils.

The axiom that humans are religious animals is a misappropriation of Hobbes’ claim in Levathian that religion is unique to humans, which, as far as anyone can tell to date, is true. But it doesn't mean that humans are inherently religious, just that religion is inherently human. This guy is a jackass selling…

You must be new here.

Winter is the greatest. It’s the time of year that I get an actual break from school (summer sessions are both torture and necessary) and there’s snowboarding and hockey and my birthday and I actually enjoy wearing clothes in winter!

I think this is a college life problem, at this point - or California has similar problems. I submitted paperwork to financial aid in June, here we are at the end of September and half way through fall semester, and I still don’t know if my grants are going to come through. This is apparently due in part to the fact…

Yeah, the first time I had one rupture I was a freshman in HS and thought I was having a heart attack because I got shooting pain through my whole left side. I've had like half a dozen? But this one was the biggest and the most painful, the doctor thought I'd had a torsion until they did the ultrasound. No thank you!!

My boyfriend and I had been dating for maaaybe a month when, one night during some semi-drunk sexing, he managed to hit the perfect spot to rupture an ovarian cyst the size of my fist that I didn’t know existed. He then had to call his mother - at 3 in the morning - to come and drive us to the emergency room because I…

I have, and I’ve found brands that are at least tolerable - it’s mostly that I don’t like having stuff on my head and that anything that pushes on certain spots gives me a headache. I can’t even wear headbands, it’s terrible. But I’d rather have a headache than be dead, so.

I know. :(

They make my head hurt :( and also I feel v restricted in them. I take my hat off a lot when I ride. But I snowboard and I have gotten concussions before so I should probably just suck it up!

It's not obtuse given that cyanide also has legal restrictions on its sale.

Bacterial vaginosis. Like yeast in that it occurs when the natural bacteria gets all out of whack.
