What about Harry Potter's Birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog Tuesday, and Orthodox Peter Pan Day (Observed)?

Why don't you send your invisible friend to kick my ass, then?

Finally, someone gets me.

I had someone suggest that I was bigotted against nazis.

Three quick things:

I might have let you get away with the last example, but please, please, please... explain to me how cerebral palsy is a choice?

The Catholic Church is the hierarchy represented by the Pope, Cardinals, bishops, and priests. Like, officially. If you're okay with these people representing your religious beliefs, I'm okay with discriminating against you.

"And we only do 5% blackface!"

You know who has read a book or two on childbirth? Obstetricians.

i have nothing against midwives and doulas and have friends who have used them - in hospitals or birthing centres attached to hospitals. but i'm sorry, i think it's irresponsible to give birth at home because even if in all likelihood everything will turn out all right, i wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing…

Actually, it is. I think someone else linked the io9 article on this thread. While the rate of infant mortality for home birth is not "high", there's still a statistically significant difference between home vs hospital rates.

Does this mean I can stop being self-conscious about not wearing a bra? Because I hate bras, they're uncomfortable and cause me back pain the next day. My D-cups have prominent nipples and I'm often told I couldn't "get away" looking like that (I.e. possessing breasts and not wearing an undergarment that causes me…

List for me the times at which it is okay to offer critiques of the media's depiction of religious figures.

You feel how you feel and no one should dispute that. Your faith is your own and I see how you would be stung on a day you spent praying. But where you veer into "humorless bitch" is in asking that EVERYONE ELSE be mindful of a particular month that is particularly spiritual for you and not so much for roughly 90%…

Oh seriously, fuck off. The cool thing about freedom of speech and religion is that I can make fun of your magical fantasy land stories any day of the year I choose. Unfortunately, that year was constructed against a framework based on your magical fantasy land stories - but I digress.

No, hijab is a sign of religious submission to God

I have to disagree with that. I come from the Muslim world. When a woman stands to be punished for not wearing a hijab, then it quickly becomes a sign of subjugation. It has next to nothing to do with God because it isn't even described, recommended or forced in the Quran or anywhere else. Also, men don't have to…

Fuck you Ricki Lake

That's because much of the language used around having kids is the same: "my life is so much better with children!" [Implication: yours will be, too!] "I have such purpose to life now that I have my children!" [Implication: you have no purpose to your life without children.] "I never knew how much I could love my…

I'll try hard to feel sorry for the emotional fallout you must be experiencing from this one blog post—let me just fend off the ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD continuously telling me my life will be meaningless and empty without a child to give me a—how did a commenter put it above—oh yes, a "bigger purpose."
