I think the big-picture point of the article was that in our culture, women are usually told that this is their #1 important day, and this creates scores of women who obsess over one day without actually being in a relationship, which isn't healthy emotionally. You're getting offended because someone you love is…

I think we can safely assume it really was just a horrible accident. As Laura mentioned, these dogs and their owners probably have stronger than average bonds, so I doubt this was a case of a handler being stupid, careless or negligent.

Haha, the Midwest. Funny you say that, I realized after I typed that that it may come across as creepy and not as "you seem cool, wish there were gals like you to be friends with around here" like I intended :)

LOVE THIS.

LOL. I wish you lived where I do :)

I'm curious too. I don't run into many men who identify as bi, probably because of the even greater stigma than bi women face.

Glad you had a better experience than I did then :) My doc had trouble getting mine in, and I cramped like hell for 4 days after. I assume you got the Mirena? I thought about it but hormones were the reason I got off BC so I was nervous of having another bad reaction, although the no periods part sounded amazing.

Yeah... nothing overtly offensive here but definitely getting douche vibes for some reason. Maybe it's the sexual history judgyness or 3rd person self-narrative.

True true. I'm just a little grumbly/bitter about the whole thing, because I recently got installed with a steampunk womb and as much as I love it, those first couple months were. not. fun. I was one of those women who didn't take to kindly to having an IUD at first, but luckily the ole uterus has now (mostly)…

I'm like you too. I'm super liberal, but I have fond memories of going to church (I know, I'm weird, I liked it as a kid) and it reminds me of my family, and there's some things I like about the church (like the saints), so I have conflicted feelings about being Catholic. I still identify as such, but I've come to the…

Bingo.

Don't feel stupid, it happens. Think of it as a great lesson learned for next time. I sometimes get so mad at myself thinking about how long I was with a manipulative guy and then I have to remember that I got out of it and I'm doing so much better–and more importantly, I'm not taking any shit like that again in the…

Preach, brother. Unfortunately, as a gay man you must understand all too well how it feels to have some of your choices taken away from you from pasty 70-year old white Southern senators. The nice thing about us Jezzies is that you have more than a few allies here in that regard too. We're very pro-rights for everyone…

Oh shit. You caught me off guard with that last paragraph. What an evil piece of shit. I hope there are better things in the future for your sis and her children.

Wow, ladies, isn't it great that in 2013 our birth control choices involve either:

Oh man, I read about the vaso-vag thing before I got mine, and sure as shit it happened to me too. That was easily the most painful thing I've ever endured. I was crushing the nurse's hand and yelling curse words and I felt like I was going to pass out.
