Thank God you are not in the same room with me, calling severe morning sickness an “inconvenience” and a “lifestyle” concern. Bitch, may you one day know hyperemesis gravidarum.

Actually.... I hate to be that lady, but while most hospitals are happy to let you squat and walk around during early labor, they do want you to lie down flat on your back with your feet up when it’s time to push. My room had a squat bar and a whirlpool and all the rest of it, but I got pushed down on my back on the…
Mmm... ham.... I got back to the recovery room and ate most of a wheel of cheese, a bunch of grapes, several nectarines, an omelette, and an entire box of Petit Ecolier cookies.
Have people ever seen a placenta? I mean - grossness all aside, they are surprisingly large. Eating a whole one would be like eating a whole calf’s liver at a sitting. I was ravenous after giving birth, but even if the placenta were not horrifying, that would still be a lot of food.
Fuck that. Throw your ex down a flight of stairs.
So what are we asking the model? “Girl, some people say you’re hot, and some people say you’re not. What do you think? Are you a grotesque skeleton, or a highly fuckable commodity?”
Expel a couple of states. The rest will fall in line real quick, once they see how well Mississippi and Alabama manage on their own.
I’m 1/16th Cherokee...
In the example you cite - the Hunger Games movies - the characters played by black actors were described - quite clearly, and for important backstory and plot reasons - as black in the books. Yet people flipped the fuck right out and went on insane racist rants about black actors playing black characters. The usual…
In my experience, those who blow off steam with funny/mean gripes are usually the best teachers by miles. It’s the humorless dumb ones who are the classroom Nazis.
Yes, it is rampant.
They genuinely don’t believe in consent. Not an exaggeration. So for them it really is the same.
I’m not saying they are stupid. I’m saying that have little leverage in the negotiations.
This sounds a lot different than what you were saying in your first comment, which was that we have to support women’s choices (which women? what choices? all women? any choice?) or I’m not a feminist. I appreciate what you are saying, but you have really moved the goalposts on this one.
Jesus. You are dense. Why would I bother judging someone with no agency? What would be the point? I recognize their agency, and I judge the shit out of the choices they made with it. And no, I do not have to respect the parasitic bankster class who bleed the country dry and treat the rest of us like vermin while…
Of course it means I’m allowed to judge other women for their free choices! Sheesh!
Sorry, feminism doesn’t mean I have to love every useless parasite with a vag either.
Thank you. I’m disturbed at how many people are just: “Meh. Fucking your husband is a job, so you should get paid. Bearing kids is a job, so you should get paid. Raising your children is a job, so you should get paid. Working out is a job, so you should get paid. Socializing is a job, so you should get paid.....”
It’s…
That is an awesome comment. Can somebody bump you out of the greys?
Leaving aside my disgust at the idea that the market is the best model for everything, better than morality or love and trust within the most intimate human relationships.....
A “mutually agreed upon, compensated arrangement” is an employer/employee relationship. And an employer/employee relationship has limits. Things…
