YES to the "no bitching." It's awful enough to have to suddenly rely on someone else for all kinds of shit that was previously not such a big deal (because now you are shaped funny, weigh a million pounds, and anything like bending over, standing for too long, carrying things, finding a comfortable position, etc. is…

I understand what you mean, and yes, I agree with you and believe that if you are informed while pregnant that your child is going to be disabled and you know that you can't handle it, you should have a right to an abortion. However, not every disability can be predicted during pregnancy, including autism spectrum…

Mother's Day is always hard for me. The cards that say "you were always there for me!" "you always knew what to say" "you always had time for me". Not my reality. Instead I get my mom a funny card. I love her, but she was a shitty, self-centered mother.

I won't argue that her stomach looks attractive, but I think it's disingenuous to praise people's dramatic weight loss while hiding what a body that's lost that amount of weight actually looks like.

Oh, FFS. She looks like she has an alien egg sac on her in that picture. Quit being such a princess and put a damn shirt on.

there would still be a problem, just a different one. Instead of a rapist, he's a psychotic liar who thinks being a rapist would make him a big man. Pretty much as douchey as you can get without being an actual rapist.

You can 100% fuck off with this article. If you don't want to pay $600 for a flight/hotel, do not come to the wedding. It is that simple. We had many family members across the country who could not swing plane fare for our wedding, and although they were dearly missed we absolutely understood. I was very grateful and…

If you don't want to go, DON'T GO. What's worse: inviting someone to celebrate an important event with you, spending thousands of dollars to throw a nice party for everyone who comes? Or being bitter and snarky because someone inconveniently invited you to attend?

I enjoyed this article.

That may be true, but if a person has a hankering for something sweet, it's a heck of a lot better to eat a bowl of strawberries than to eat a bowl of Oreos. You yourself might be superhuman and not experience cravings, but I would guess that many (or most) of us really want something sweet now and again. I feel…

Totally—the worst part is that it's kind of hard to really notice the effect when you're in the middle of it—regardless of which side you're on.

Okay, I'm super sick of people giving runners shit. I am a runner, and I also swim, ride horses, and lift. I do lots of other things, and so do MOST of the other runners I know. Just because you hate cardio and/or people who love it, doesn't mean you have to put them down for it. FYI: people from families of distance…

Personally, I clean after a party because I enjoy the company of my guests. If someone is already cleaning then I will ask if I can pitch in, but if I'm hosting I refuse to clean while someone is there, because I like to pay attention to my guests for the entire event. I will get drinks, ice, prepare food, pretty…

I think the fact that women have to deal with potentially dangerous situations from a very young age on (harassment, cat calling, walking home alone in the evening while having a vagina etc) plays a part in this as well. They learn very early how to tell when other people, particularly men, are angry or tense or…

I used to think that if my husband had an ounce of common sense, he would know what I wanted. For instance, when he came home after working a 12-hour day and found me and the baby home with the stomach flu, I assumed he already knew the answer to the question, "Can I go for a bike ride?" He didn't. If I didn't say,…

This article seems to be much more about weight than age, and doesn't really say anything about the lessons we learn as we get older - maybe because, in her mid 30s, the author simply isn't that old. As someone who is entering her late 40s (which still isn't even that old in a lot of ways but probably seems ancient to…

Agreed. I take equal issue with women who refuse to let their boyfriends or husbands cum on their face or put it in their ass.

Penguins don't get depressed in their natural habitats, they just get even.

Glad that we could make this all about your sexual needs, bro! That's what women all care about—if GrauGeist would "do" us with the lights on or off. I've been up nights worrying—but maybe I'll just bring my trusty paper bag, so I don't have to worry?
