If you cannot see beyond your own pain to realize that others have pain as well that hurts them just as much as yours hurts you, then some growth is needed in order to be a better potential partner.

Without Planned Parenthood I wouldn’t have had access to healthcare - gynecological or otherwise while I was uninsured up until three years ago at the ripe age of 35.

I agree. While I love PP (to the extent of happily working for them after 2 years of volunteer escorting ) I’m a big fan of The Center For Reproductive Rights which is successfully targeting TRAP laws up to the Supreme Court.

I hear this. When my sister tells me about the division of household chores, I want to get on the phone with her husband and tell him to cop the fuck on.

Speaking as someone who has gone through every relationship type and decided singlehood suits me best, it is being around married/committed people that confirm my…

I can’t decide if you’re a troll, or someone who legitimately has a distorted sense of the dating world.

I sure churches will still get their tax benefits though! 😤

I have been single and celibate for almost twelve years. Some of the reasons are bad luck, some poor dating demographics (African descent, PhD, overweight) but the most compelling reason I stayed single after my divorce is that I learned to enjoy my own company and develop myself. I just didn’t want to be burdened…

You might need to read my post again, because you mischaracterised how I presented viability and what the data-sets about age-ranges indicate about opportunities for men vs women over age 35. That’s where things get interesting.

I once worked at a university (in athletics/coaching), and my boss (the head coach) was always so clueless about how my lifestyle was different from his. He was married and his wife did everything for him: cooked, cleaned, took care of their kids and also worked a full time job, so that he could pursue his coaching…

It is. I can’t believe there’s so many rich and powerful men that can play footloose and fancy free with people’s lives. It’s truly sick. Hang in there though. *hugs*

Several of my male colleagues are always complaining about how hard the travel is, and how much work it is. Almost every single one of them has a wife at home who cares for their kids, goes to the grocery store and keeps the fridge stocked, does their laundry, and even help pack their suitcases.

Yeah. Unfortunately some blue dog dems didn’t even want to go for the ACA. Fuckers. I will say this the ACA basically saved my mothers life. My parents are small business owners, the ones the GOP claim to care about, and didn’t have insurance. Once the ACA got rolled out my parents signed up and she was able to get a…

I agree with all of this also.

Ugh I totally get it. I could’ve gone on a whole nother rant about working full time without medical insurance and how that forces people to find services elsewhere. Another argument for single payer. It’s all one big ball of fucked upness.

I had a similar experience with a new job and not being able to take any time off for the first three months, even a sick day. I miscarried at my office* and went through the whole day bleeding and a wreck and went to PP afterwards to find out what to do re: D&C. Thankfully I didn’t need one, but it has always stuck…

Absolutely! Life is hard enough, the last thing I need is dead weight hanging around my neck. 10 bucks says he isn’t even that good in bed.

Bright side? At least pp donations are tax deductible so every dollar we donate to them is ~25-35 cents that will not fall into the GOP’s greasy paws.

I requested donations to PP for Christmas this year. I haven’t added it up, but I think my relatives donated about $500 in my name this x-mas

I was able to get the morning after pill via PP when a condom broke. I’ll always be grateful to them and I donate whenever I can.

Without PP I wouldn’t have had access to birth control or known what to do once I got pregnant. I had just gotten off my parent’s insurance and the job I was working at the time required you to be an employee for six months before you could enroll. They couldn’t have been more kind and patient with a young and scared…
