That would be a she:

Thanks for sharing - I could have written most of this. For the past five years, I’ve been with someone who is skilled at both emotional and physical intimacy, and sometimes it’s hard to let myself off the hook for having put up with less for so long. Never again.

Yep! I was married to an alcoholic, sex-phobic, gaming addict and wasted too many years trying to fix him from my side of the street.

I just asked myself the same question, and you’re correct about the two different bakeries! This article covers it in admirable detail:

Yeah, I thought the whole de-stigmatizing sex work movement had made inroads, but maybe not so much. I stopped using “whore” as a pejorative a long time ago.

I was surprised by the negative pile-on. Maybe I shouldn’t be. I usually find a more balanced spectrum of opinion here on sociosexual issues. This is just full on shaming based on a narrow bourgeois worldview that expects everyone else to view sex and relationships the same way you do.

I noticed they took it down. And I couldn’t figure out what he currently does for a living, although I saw that he did IT for a local college at some point.

You’re right about the date. I’ll bet he tries to claim pre-wedding jitters made him do it.

It looks like the perp is a newlywed:

He looks to be late in his second trimester.

What a beautiful cat. I’m so sorry.

My puppy wishes you happy spring. She loves me no matter what I weigh.

It’s not a contraceptive; it’s a sterilization device. The only other sterilization option for women is tubal ligation, which requires inpatient surgery as opposed to a same-day office procedure.

Essure was rushed to market on the basis of *one* study that followed 230 women for five years. *One* five-year study for a device that’s supposed to stay in your body forever. 13 women with negative outcomes were mysteriously dropped from the results. Shocking/not shocking.

Yep, it’s its own particular kind of E-hell.

Doctors were already supposed to be discussing risks and going down a checklist with potential Essure patients. This just formalizes that stipulation without adding a whole lot of teeth on the enforcement end. What it will do, though, is push Essure slightly closer to unprofitability, which is the only thing that will…

Yep. Way more pregnancies than will ever be acknowledged by Bayer. E-babies, as they’re known, are all considered high-risk pregnancies because there’s, you know, metal embedded in your reproductive system. Many Essure pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Users have also reported other symptoms, including headache, fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, and mood changes, though it’s unclear how related these symptoms are to the implant.

He’s very much a threat to them because he’s such an effective spokesperson. He’s a credible teenager who is willing to speak uncomfortable truths that the adults won’t (I braved a sub-Reddit to learn about that). He owns their asses on social media (as was pointed out below).
