I laughed. And I needed that. So thank you.

Yup. Generally the thing that people want first and foremost is peace and stability. And also, frankly, I’m still not convinced democracy is the best form of government. There’s just too much stupid in the world.

You know, this might sound trivial, but it really pissed me off that Johansson sued that French author who wrote a book about a woman who looked like her. It seemed really, really petty and I haven’t been able to look at her the same way since.

True. They wouldn’t. Which is also why I’d expect an “accidental” oopsie leak to. Yucck. These people honestly have no shame in life.

Honestly, I think that if I were to have an abortion for any reason, and someone asked me to donate the tissue I would. What possible reason is there not to? This is why this whole debate is so fucked up - and frankly, I’m still waiting for one Republican to come out and say that they wouldn’t use life saving…

Ah yes, I wonder, if a few prominent Republicans would show up. Or a Duggar (albeit those special cases have lost all credibility by now).

Really? You don’t understand how it’s easier to shift attitudes and bring change in a country with a small population v a large one? OK then. Your username deceives you - I don’t think you like facts, or google for that matter (where you’d be able to see things like the global gender gap rankings and Iceland’s…

Cuz I just imagine someone who’s had an abortion - an often a late term one because of fetal abnormality - would just LOVE to rehash the whole thing to a bureaucrat in their living room. Honestly, this whole thing is fucking terrifying. Can you imagine if that info gets leaked??

You know what gets me sad? Thinking that according to pretty much all rankings Iceland is the most gender equal country in the world. And yet, even motherfucking Iceland, is nowhere near achieving gender equality. And that’s 300.000 people who can’t get rid of the patriarchy. What hope is there for the rest of us?

And what exactly do they wanna do with those records?! This is all getting way too Salem for me...

I like veils (when done right) - but I didn’t wear one my self. Frankly, my advice would be try it on once you have the dress. I know plenty of girls who only felt like “true brides” once they had the veil on, often to their own surprise, and others like me who just didn’t like the look at all. In the end, the dress…

Yeah, a lot of the facts get lost in the debate. Like that out of the 500.000 refugees to reach Europe’s shores this year, 100.000 are children. So things get manipulated easily, and media has a nasty agenda.

My husband and I run our own business, and professionally I therefore always go by my maiden name because I don’t want people knowing off the bat that we’re married.

Exactly - my kid can keep our names or take his spouses name, whatever floats his boat! Even if, granted, I’m pretty sure mine will be ditched for pure practicalities. It’s long and noone pronounces it right.

We gave our kid both of our names - and we also took each other’s name after the wedding. Neither one of us wanted to give up our names but we wanted a common family name, so that was the compromise. It’s a bit long, but I love it :-)

Don’t forget the Muslim scholars, too ;-) But considering how the church is responsible for a lot of the ancient writings to have gone missing in the first place I won’t give them too much credit ;)

Yeah ok. Minus of course the inquisition, the crusades, the lack of sanitation, the appalling treatment of Jews, the constant wars, the serfs, etc.etc.etc. GREAT period, you’re right! So vibrant with knowledge that we had to rediscover perspective before we could even draw buildings correctly.

That racism could play a part in what exactly?

Listen, I’m not saying that there aren’t stupid Europeans. Of course there are - just as you guys have your fair share of stupid Americans. But I reaaaally am against this view often portrayed on Jezebel that Europeans overall are not aware that we have race issues. That is a gross generalisation that I, as a European…

I think there was one in Vilnius last year - so it's possible. Belgrade on the other hand....
