This is the email equivalent of telling a woman to smile on the street.

Well...

I'm reminded of eshakti, the ONLY store I know that carries ALL sizes, 0 - 36W. Sure they're online only but they also make their clothes custom to your measurements for only $8! I have half a dozen custom dresses from them and I fucking love them.

Not even just the D&C's. I remember feeling some surprise (not anger, because seriously) when I had a miscarriage (didn't need a D&C) and when I went to see the doctor after it was listed as "spontaneous abortion". If I hadn't been so sad and miserable over it happening, I might have found that phrase funny. "Let's be…

You are my people. I sooo tried with AD, but I just....meh. I do like the funny gifs of Lucille though.

The white women staring at her nuturingly remind anyone else of "helpful" (fucking) Elizabeth Wakefield and her gaze of condescension on the cover of so many Sweet Valley High books? "Shh, shhh, I'm helping you!" she seems to say as I vomit.

I'm having flashbacks to every argument I've had with my "pro-choice Republican" friend of mine. I argue with her that she's not actually pro-choice if she consistently votes for anti-choice candidates—and let's face it, there are NO pro-choice Republicans anymore in legislatures. There used to be, but they've been…

I had to go to CPAC for work a couple years ago during the 2012 primaries, and I overheard a couple of college types talking about how they didn't like Santorum because he once said he'd be okay with a rape exception on abortion. They were incredibly earnest about how not cool that was, and then said "really, there's…

Did anyone else read this entire post in Billy Eichner's voice?

She was definitely flawed! But in a very human and relatable way. I for one never enjoyed the Garry bullying, which she routinely joined in on. And I despised her obsession with Pawnee's alleged obesity issues. She was all about policing what people ate when she herself had a terrible diet, and she made constant…

Oh, I loved it! Yes it was unrealistic that everyone got a perfect happy ending, but everything about the show was over the top on the warmth and happiness, so I could live with it. And I love when finales give glimpses into the future, it helps with my separation anxiety over not knowing what happened to my favorite…

YES. It doesn't take anything away from Ben, who is awesome and probably my favorite male feminist character in TV history. But as he realized in that beautiful moment last night after she suggested flipping a coin, Leslie is the one. She was always the one.

If they retain a lot of the writers, I think he can be replaced. The next person will never be him, but the show can maintain awesomeness—John Oliver proved that during his 6 week hosting stint. I missed John but I still tuned in.

Yes. Plus he was playing a real person and the Oscars love that shit. Keaton deserved it more.

Haha, The hospital gives you ice packs for your vagina. They are wonderful! Some women also make their own for after they get home, involving putting witch hazel on a big maxi pad and putting it in the freezer. But they do tell you not to use ice packs for too long, only for a couple days. I guess they can interfere…

I had two vaginal births in 11 months (yep), and while I did tear with both, it wasn't that bad, I swear! But everyone is different. But with mine I was feeling pretty great within a few days. With my second I didn't even need the special crotch ice packs they give you. Then again, I know someone who tore from her…

Noooo. C-sections are much more painful. Just soak and freeze some big old maxi pads. And get a nice epidural.

Do not take castor oil! Seriously.

RETTA WHERE CAN I BUY WHAT YOU'RE WEARING THANK YOU PS I LOVE YOU!

You wouldn't know her. She's from Canada. Met her at Niagara Falls.
