I tried to explain to people recently the difference between animal rights and animal welfare, and how some organizations are not on the side of people having companion animals.

I guess it’s a matter of degrees. I could be totally off base here, but it sounds to me, the impression that I get, is that your first instinct is to soft-pedal around whereas I am much more like “hey listen stop your shit right now”. Us guys are smart, 99% of the time we know EXACTLY what we’re doing. People depend…

No, pill no 1 only blocks progesterone, so there is a 30-50 percent chance of the pregnancy surviving anyway. What’s unclear is the effect of a massive dose of progesterone on the mother and the fetus.

Ninety years ago, in Buck v. Bell, the Supreme Court held that forced sterilization was fine and dandy, basically putting their stamp of approval on eugenics.

Exactly. I love the “Handmaids Tale” as a work of fiction and a great TV drama. And it was sort of funny for a time when it came to comparing it to the American right wing’s obsession over putting clusters of cells over the woman who happened to be carrying them. It’s not funny anymore. This is horrific. This case…

I am a guy, and let me say- OH PLEASE GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK. Guys (and women!!) who act inappropriately need to be called out on it. It may lead to an awkward conversation, but ITS THE GUYS FAULT FOR BEING INAPPROPRIATE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I don’t know, I mean except to save the life of the baby,...

I don’t totally understand their science behind this, but I do have experience with fertility treatments and progesterone injections and beyond all the obvious problems, the side effects are really rough. It can be taken orally but it is not nearly as effective as other options. If injected intramuscularly, it is…

These people truly are monsters.

Dear sweet baby jeebus ... now stepping into not just a doctor’s shoes, but an experimental quack doctor? This is not a real thing. If she has aborted the baby it is aborted. All they’re going to do is force her to take drugs that will cause her additional pain, but will NOT result in a baby because #biology.

What’s the over/under on how many of these fuckwads that are trying to deny legal healthcare to a ward in their charge are also the kind that would turn around and bitch about anchor babies after attempting to force this poor girl to carry a child against her will?

It’s shocking that a group like the Republicans, who regularly deny science, has zero understanding of science.

I’m sorry. What the hell is wrong with firefighter?! Is that not what they are - people who fight fire? But because a woman suggested it, to be inclusive of everyone, it’s a problem. Get the F out of here with that crap.

That is one of the tricks the patriarchy uses. Makes you doubt how you got your job, makes you scared to use it to help others. Her response shouldn’t be to be afraid to use quotas, that is some second wave thinking there in response, but to apply them anyway and say that there are hundreds of women who are just as…

Fireman Sam, the children’s programme, was originally called Sam Tân which in the original Welsh means ‘Sam Fire’, a reference to colloquial Welsh nicknaming which links people’s names with their occupations, such as ‘Jones the Baker’. And before anyone asks, a Funeral Director called David would indeed be called ‘Dai…

Agreed. Not sure how much manhood these haters even have left. They all seem like a bunch of “whiny little bitches”...to borrow a phrase.

I can just imagine the awful vitriol she’s received for, god forbid, wanting to take the “man” out of something.

“Something, something, political correctness run amok. Something, something, if my title doesn’t have the word ‘man’ in it my dick might fall off from lack of attention. Something, something Feminazis.”

In addition to this being sexist bullshit, “firefighter” is undoubtedly the cooler name. It makes you sound like you are wrestling Balrogs or some shit.
