You will pry my running skirts from my cold, dead hands. I love them. Unabashedly.

This is one of those things that's like "Oh I get to look forward to that" and I appreciate you for putting it out there. I hate it when my friends with babies try to sugar coat things.

Look, dude, I got a kid. I am intimately familiar with newborn dookie. Don't serious on my funny.

I'm sure you can get organic belladonna. But sure, that line of thinking seems valid.

The health of a newborn is nothing you want to mess with, man. They're tiny and they have no immune systems — if a pediatrician says to do something for them, do it. Keeping a baby alive is more important than just about any ethical stance you can take. I suspect this mother might have some postpartum crazy hormones…

I don't blame vegans for this one. I blame Florida.

The video is awful enough, but did you read the letter from the superintendent to the teacher?

Thank you for sharing her picture and telling this story. We just don't give a flying fuck about victims in this country, and she deserves to be remembered. Her story is the one we should be telling, not the one about the fucking animal who buried a girl alive.

The victim.

I read this article and was so angry! And then I read your comment and I got even angrier that now I'm in tears. You're right, women can never win. This society is ruled by sexist leaders and that's just plain insane.

Women can never win. If we don't love our kids enough, according to society's standards, we're horrible and we don't deserve to live. If we love out kids too much, according to this jackass, then we only need to blame ourselves if our husbands leave us. The patriarchy continues to do everything in its power to make…

These quotes make me wonder what kind of father Det Bowers is. If he has a problem with mothers giving a large amount of attention to their kids, how does he feel about fathers giving a large amount of attention to their kids, and how does he apply that mindset to his own children?

yes, exactly! I think that's why if there's any validity to "RealTexan1944"'s argument up there in the comments, it's because he's from Texas and women be cakin' on the powder.

In college a guy friend from Texas made an off-handed comment about confident the girls in our group were. We were totally confused. Turns out her thought it was super special that none of us wore make up on a regular basis. We were all from New England or California. It never occurred to us to put on make up for a…

Yeah, there's a real reason the expression for putting on make-up in the South is "putting on your face."

I'm so glad you posted that. I live in the NE too (all my life)... I know we're known for being a little schlubby, but looking around at the women who ride the T or walking on the streets, most don't look like they're wearing a ton of makeup, if any. I felt like I was missing something with this "all women wear makeup…

Wow. White women look bad and NEED make up, huh?

Can we please call it a trend? Because I want to declare myself trendy today.

Codeine and hydrocodone were the most commonly taken drugs; women typically took the drugs for less than a week.

I love how you assume that pregnant women could only have one source of pain: child birth. Chronic pain just isn't something on your radar, is it? Not all people are aware that they're pregnant until months later or can just forgo the medicines that they take. Not to mention that far from all pregnancies are a woman's…
