If they* actually did a sexy magazine featuring “normal” bodies, in a variety of sizes, genders, races, ages, etc. I would be 100% there for it. Nudity can be great! And sexy nudity can be great too! I think a solid 80% of the issues I have with nudey mags would go away if they didn’t define “sexy” so narrowly.

I’m so sorry. I’d love to send my used menstrual pads on behalf of all the pregnant women here to asshats who strip women of their humanity like this. Better yet, give them the strap-on pregnancy body thing and force them to walk around in it for two months. They can only take it off to shower, and that’s to avoid…

It’s amazing that they’re ultimately using a child as punishment and either they don’t realize it or they do realize it and just don’t care.

Yeah, ladies, naked is the new normal! Sending nudes is the new handshake! Women who are proud enough of their bodies to show them off makes men respect them MORE!

Maybe those snotbags had easy pregnancies or think that the miseries of pregnancy and childbirth are punishment for Eve’s sin or some such religious bullshit. Like, ALL women are responsible for the actions of ONE mythical woman who foolishly listened to an equally mythical talking snake.

I had a c-section and I guess they manhandled my bladder a bit because when they put it back (BECAUSE THEY TAKE IT OUT), it would cramp on and off for about a year and a half if my bladder got too full. I had to have dilaudid in the hospital for the pain. It was BLINDING. An internal charley horse times…

Amen to that! I have 2 kids. Both pregnancies were soooo awful! Morning sickness 24-7 for 7 months. Early labors, bed rest, I was so nauseated that the vibrations from low music being played made me vomit. I questioned whether it was worth it clear up till they were born. And of course it was , for me, worth it…

I have two kids. I hated pregnancy. Like you said, even when it is wanted, it can fucking wreck you. Wreck your emotions. Wreck your relationships. Wreck your body. Permanently. Men don’t fucking get this. And I suppose women can own some responsibility in that for not speaking up more about these problems.…

I’ve always been a pro-choice maniac but after being pregnant and having a baby, I am a REMOVE THE STIGMA ON ALL ABORTIONS maniac.

This, a thousand times. Having been through two miserable pregnancies with hyperemesis just solidified my opinion on this - no woman should be forced to carry through an unwanted pregnancy. And no man has the right to make her.

I’m sure he believes (along with that idiot from... was it Missouri?) that we can shut that shit down in the event of a rape, too. I’m so angry right now, I can’t see straight.

The last month of pregnancy is AWFUL, I’ve yet to meet a woman who thought it was a cool breeze. You want your body back and if men could experience even a fraction of what goes on during pregnancy abortions would be free and 100% legal. Hang in there you’re almost done!

WORD. I have never in my life felt more strongly pro-choice than while I was pregnant. What a godawful experience to force someone through.

Good luck making it to the finish line. fwiw, pretty much all my hormone-induced nonsense (debilitating nausea, heartburn, etc) immediately went away once the baby was born! …

So can women now be committed again for hystery? And if so does the ACA cover.... Oh nevermind that

Honestly, the only thing that gives me comfort is that they are talking and they are unable to artfully maneuver around the “logic” of their arguments. They fall into it like pigs into shit every time.

He also admitted that babies are parasites - especially the ones who need welfare/SNAP/WIC/free and reduced lunch/medicaid, etc.

Yup. If this is the way things are going, I think we should push for a movement of young women to get tubal ligations or, fuck, even a goddamn hysterectomy. If I am expected to “pre-know” that all I’m good for is being a host while I continue to be fertile, then let’s just take that shit out so I can be a full human…

Uh, yup.

I know. This didn’t even enrage me. I just thought: well, they finally said it out loud.

And there it is.
