I do want everyone to remember the real and biggest loser in all of this is Tyga, who spent his morning trying to convince people that he didn't leave his wife and son for a teen girl.

Actually, at that time—until the mid-80s and Cher, really—all the celebs just bought dresses off the rack and did their own makeup for the Oscars. (ETA: Occasionally, a costume designer they worked with would make something up for them—like in the Edith Head studio days.) Many of them talk about it—Meryl Streep, Jodie…

...does it matter?
I just want to put a plug in and say that GSA is unproven—I'm not saying that it doesn't exist, but the scientific evidence that it exists is extremely flimsy. Long before we make policy measures, people actually need to study it. It's been a far bigger thing in the media than it is among social science and medical…
OK. Yes. That is a fair point and I see why you're screaming. The girl's attorney has told the judge she has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. What we've heard in court from psychologists indicates that they believe she's experiencing severe delusions. The National Institute of Mental Health says it's "difficult" to…
Fun fact: the US and South Sudan are the only 2 UN members who have failed to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty with the sole purpose of protecting the rights and well being of children (Somolia, another hold out, finally caved). One of the things it prohibits is subjecting children (whose…
I thought the same thing pre-kids, but you really, really don't. While it does majorly suck, I was up and walking around within hours of my vaginal birth and off pain medication in a few days. I also only used Advil and Tylenol for pain because I'm allergic to the strong stuff. I've never had a C-section, but I know…
Yep, had that. C-sections are no joke, but I'd still rather have a few hundred of them than an hour of labor. But then, that's my experience, not everyone else's.
I'm getting a fibroid removed via laparoscopy next week. I don't want to, but if I ever want to conceive I have to. And then I'll have to have a c-section if I do get pregnant. Yay?
Female genitals weren't designed for anything. Evolution screwed us over. We carry human infants for as long as we can and deliver them before they're really ready.
See I find that a bit of a weird notion, "protecting the vagina" - female genitals were designed for labour (even if our hips weren't ;p), but our guts were most definitely not designed to be sliced open :/
Yep, same here. The whole "torn from vagina to butthole" thing is perhaps my greatest fear in life. And the thought of having to deal with incontinence and other issues like that afterwards...I'm getting panicky just thinking about it...
After having my 2nd c-section, the doctor looked up and said, " You want me to tie the tubes? You sure? I've got them in my hands right now?." I declined, but now I kinda wish i did and be done with birth control forever.
Just soak and freeze some big old maxi pads? Please explain. Im terrified of giving birth
I think the biggest reason I had issues is because I have back problems and don't have a very strong core to begin with, but yeah, it sorta sucked.
I think I slept on my back on elevated pillows for a while. Worked out.
I've never had a vaginal delivery, either. I suspect part of my easy recovery is thanks to my epidural. I never lost the ability to wiggle my toes or lift my hips (which freaked everyone out when they went to move me off the operating table). I didn't have wait hours and hours for the epidural to wear off so I could…
