He didn’t mutilate random women. He operated on women who were suffering from fistulas. He was ultimately successful and his procedures benefitted thousands of women. We definitely don’t need a statue of the guy but I’m not sure we should vilify him either.

If you’re honest with yourself, you would admit that the newborn fontanel is perfect for dipping toast

It’s not a “men’s rights” issue. It’s just a plain old human decency issue.

Honestly I’m kinda torn down the middle on this article. I think doing a friendly favor for a former partner is no big deal. But then some of the wording used here is........

During my law degree, my favourite subject was evidence law - we did this really good class, based I think on an American professor’s technic, where someone random runs into the classroom, snatches a laptop, and runs out, and every student is asked to write down what he looked like. Then they’re all compared, and the…

A Slave cannot consent.

Wow. Uh... I’m not normally one to drone on about ‘men’s rights’. Especially not on this site. But this article is REALLY mean spirited and kinda messed up.

Soooooo, when is Jezzie going to start seriously discussing the other side of this issue?

Are there porn companies that advertise as cruelty free? That guarantees that everything you watch has been vetted as consensual?

Hmmm, it is almost like Michigan State is a Catholic college. They’d rather spend a fuckton of money obfuscating rather than admitting guilt & cleaning up their act.

Blood Turkey!

as someone who has KP, I would gladly punch your ex-husband in the nuts given the chance. Stay strong girl.

Because different people see value in different things. In a similar vein, why spend money on a honeymoon that’s going to be over in a couple weeks, when you can put that money towards something even more practical? We’ve all got one life to live, we might as well enjoy it while we can. If skipping a big wedding…

Right on! Young couples going into debt for a one day party is absurd. My wife and I were married at our house for less than 1k. It was a two day party that people are still talking about
