In 1918, Rose Kennedy was giving birth at home - and because the doctor was dealing with Spanish influenza patients and would have been out a nice fee if he wasn’t there when her baby was delivered, the nurse(s) attending her didn’t feel they had the authority to deal with the birth, so they shoved her crowning baby

I am surprised an actual nurse did this. I thought this was gonna be about some untrained alternative practioner doing shit.

I’m wondering WTF the reason was for doing that. Was it the nurses wanting to hurt her? Was it the nurses freaking out and wanting to wait for the doctor to arrive? I’m not a nurse, but if a lady suddenly started giving birth I WOULD NOT try to stop it from happening by shoving the baby back up her vag.

No, it is absolutely not normal, hence the $16 million verdict. That shit is definitely malpractice.

Exactly. More skin tones, maybe 4-5 hairstyle options? Seems simple. Most games with a customizable avatar seem to be able to do this.

I don’t think she’s talking about eye shape or dimples. Four skin tones is woefully lacking. It’s not hard to add some more shades as choices.

Right? I hope that is a joke badly delivered, because it completely missed the entire point. :/

Her quote reminded me of a terrible Amy Poehler quote. Someone asked Amy about the lack of minorities in Upright Citizens Brigade. Her response? “Ugh. Pass.”

People who reject the feminist label to be a ‘humanist’, and people who believe in All Lives Matter over Black Lives Matter are examples of people who stand in the way of social progress. They’re obstacles to a better, equal society. They help to validate the opinion that disadvantaged groups aren’t actually

“When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”

White men getting offended over other people getting offended is the most pussy shit of all. Just fucking get over it.

I’d almost have more respect for the racist crowd if they’d just own the fact that they’re racist. Instead, they want to “pussy” out, to channel Clint, and pretend that what they’re doing and saying isn’t wrong.

Sister, I’ve been in a very similar-sounding spot that you are in right now and my whole heart goes out to you. Know that when I say what I’m about to say, I’m not in any way telling you what to do, or giving you unsolicited advice or even saying your situation was exactly like mine. Here’s the deal: I have 3 kids and

Holy shit, you basically described what I’ve been feeling. My husband get into arguments about this every so often. This exact thing. Our home would be shit and our dogs would be dead if it wasn’t for me. He would starve to death. We got into a huge argument the other night because I came home and asked him what he

Seriously. I start my day at 7:15 and have to drive a lot to get to work. I am in bed by 10 and up by 6. I need my damn sleep. And now that I’m pregnant, the idea of someone wasting their good sleep like that makes me want to punch people. I’m like, “I WISH I COULD SLEEP WITHOUT SOMEONE KICKING ME.” And I’m in my 20s.

Not one he prioritizes, apparently. If my husband decided to do this, I would have to explain about divorce to him.

How the fuck does a man in his 30's stay out all night until 5am? Does he not have a job or any responsibilities in life?

My 21 year old friend wanted Bernie and is voting for Trump because he’s at least upfront in his vileness according to her. I tried explaining what a Trump presidency means for her, a young bisexual woman of Mexican decent. Didn’t get it.

It’s one of the corollaries of Duverger’s Law: protest votes against a major party for being insufficiently leftward (or rightward) drives that party towards the center in successive elections, making the protest vote a counterproductive temper tantrum.

Yeah, and I think that is the mindset that she’s yelling at here, not a general attack at Bernie supporters, which some people are complaining about. I know most Bernie supporters are standing with Hillary now and that is great, but this is also a terrifying election and the Bernie supporters who are being
