What about women who thought they wanted children, made the conscious decision, and then realised they weren't cut out for motherhood? You can leave an unhappy marriage but you can't return a kid once they're here and in those cases, yes, I feel for those kids but I also feel for those women because they didn't set…

Of course I wouldn't. But the solution isn't to pretend it doesn't happen, sweep it under the rug, and for society to keep pressuring women to have children.

You've been lucky. I'm a frequent flyer and have encountered pretty much everything. I hate airlines. I really do. They conspire to make flying as horrible as possible and to charge you as much as possible for that 'privilege'. But frequent flying has also taught me that while airlines are bad, so is humanity and…

There's more to it than that. First of all, there's societal pressure on women to have children. And pressure to not have an only child. Also, she probably struggled with her feelings for years and didn't even admit them to herself and thought she was a monster for feeling this way. And lastly, maybe she thought that…

How else do you break the taboo though? If not for women brave enough to say this publicly, and to have that discussion publicly, how else do you remove the stigma attached to expressing these feelings even in private? As it stands, the vast majority of women who feel this way probably can't even admit it to…

Of course parents should never tell their kids those things. What your mother did to you is emotional abuse. And maybe if she'd had a circle of friends she could vent these feelings to without being called a monster, she would have been different towards you. But as for the women who publish these accounts, I think…

It's her picture on instagram which is supposed to be fun and way more casual than a professional shoot, and yet she feels compelled to lie to the world and make her thighs look thinner than they are. I don't care if it's Beyonce or someone I know in real life, if you're photoshopping your Instagram pictures, I will…

I think she's a big phony manufactured product and her feminist shtick is just that - a stunt. She probably has a full time employee managing her instagram account and photoshopping her pictures for it, and that just screams control freakish and desperate to me. Plus I don't like her music. I feel the same way about…

What a great piece. Thank you for speaking openly about something that women never talk about, and the few that do, get shit on for doing so.

The problem is, by saying you only feel sympathy for their children and not for these women stuck doing something they regretted, you're ensuring that women will continue to feel ashamed for having these feelings and they won't speak about this frankly to people close to them or anyone else, and will keep these…

But some locales have a disproportionate amount of assholes per capita. So then it does become about the locale.

making fun of something isn't the same as doing it. no actual children were hurt or whipped during the making of that tweet, so let's stop acting like this guy should have his head chopped of for a thoughtless joke. sure, it's a dumb tweet but not worth firing someone for.

Photoshopping your instagram account seems a bit desperate, don't you think? Whether you're a star or a civilian.

No, that's not what I said at all. And no, you didn't say, "I'm personally uncomfortable with a male doctor", you said that the very fact that a man would even choose to specialise in gynecology makes you uncomfortable. Here, let me quote you again to refresh your memory:

But she's such a FEMINIST, y'all!

Sorry, but that's just plain old discrimination. You're free to choose a female doctor if you're more comfortable with one but stating that men choosing to specialise in vaginas "doesn't sit well with" you just shows your ignorance when it comes to medicine. I have a male cousin who's an OBGYN and he didn't start out…

I'm the opposite. In terms of other types of doctor, I don't have a preference and I've had both male and female ones and can't say their gender changes anything and it's more about their individual personalities than anything else. I've had female doctors who have been totally dismissive and didn't even listen to…

Pictures. Definitely looks like they were having sex. In broad daylight. In a busy neighbhourhood. With the car door open. Someone called it in. Looks like probable cause to me.

A man might be able to share the first time he tries out a fresh new hat style as his major life-experience-sharing, but first orgasm? Unlikely.

heartbreaking and infuriating.
