Here's the thing: Child birth is way more dangerous than an abortion. But are these people trying to pass laws to make child birth illegal outside of clinics constructed, outfitted and staffed to specific, rigorous specifications? No. In fact, a woman can pretty much give birth anywhere she wants and get professional…

It's getting pretty tiresome to see the same old "prepare your inbox" every time some girl posts a photo of herself. And I could also live without the daily, front-page posts about why feminism/feminists are terrible.

My boyfriend is a living bitch-slap to this lie about crushed genitals: He is hung like a whale (and I can compare, because I've been a certifiable slut for eight years) and he sits with his legs crossed all. the. time. He shakes his head when he sees this shit.

Guys. We don't believe you. What we do believe: You've…

Some constructive criticism, thehunchbackofnotredwayne, since I see you are interested in pursuing a path in sexist trolling: you need to commit (I would suggest you fact-check, too, put that's probably beyond you — Maddie is a staff writer here, just FYI! That is a full-time position, and also a vagina is not…

You are not good at this.

your commitment to overreacting is commendable.

Our reproductive organs are not 2 feet wide. Stop making excuses, and learn how to not sit on your balls idiot.

Sitting with your legs together doesn't crush your balls unless you're doing it very very wrong. I've never had any special training or anything, but I manage to sit with my legs together on a daily basis.

Yeah, sure. So many women rubbing up on you on the bus. Sure. Of course you know this phenomenon is almost exclusively male, but carry on trolling.

Have you ever considered that a woman may be doing that because she's been touched or rubbed on inappropriately on public transportation, and thus wants to put some distance between her body and yours? Also, next time you ride the bus or subway, pay attention to the guys for once. You'll be amazed.

Some trans people do want trans-only spaces where they can talk, connect, and be surrounded by people with similar experiences. My city's LGBT community center has support groups for black trans men, black trans women, trans-masculine people, intersex people. So some people clearly do find value in having their own…

Pro abortion is a very common termed used by anti choice groups.

1) I clicked, hardly read the article, just skipped down to complain about the headline

Both sides have treated each other like shit for decades and continue to do so. I'm really not going to say that the trans community is coming out looking squeaky clean when conferences/events for radfems are often shut down and moved amid threats of violence.

Somewhat kind of off topic, but when I read a headline that says "I feel xyz and you should/shouldn't too" I automatically shut off and can no longer read the article without a bias against it. I feel like I'm being told I need help coming to my own conclusions because I'm obviously missing some insight that you need…

Just a few things. I agree with the point of this post. It reminds me of my feelings about gay inclusion in the Boy Scouts; if they are so unfriendly to you, why the fuck would you want to hang out with them? Start your own better thing. There needs to be a gender neutral scouts.

I don't necessarily agree that the "racist grandmother" analogy quite applies here, given that second-wave feminist thought laid the groundwork for so much of the progress that has been made for women in the last 60 years or so. And they went to the mat dissecting gender, sex, society, patriarchy, sexuality, and what…

I used to identify as a radical feminist and I honestly fall somewhere in between the 2nd and 3rd wave, personally. (2 and a half wave feminist?) I think inclusion is overall a good thing for everyone, but at the same time, I don't think that abrasively demanding that an event that has been designed for…

Right, and we're getting the trans perspective in the piece above. I was trying to explain to the cis hetero dude up there why it's really not as simple as he's painting it and why radical feminists are causing a "fuss." It's not really a fuss so much as it is a long-standing, massive conflict of thought.
