I vomited for seven months straight in my pregnancy. I will Never Forget a man saying to me "Oh man my wife would be so jealous of you. She felt so nauseous but COULDNT vomit, she really wished she could have."

I was 21 yrs old and a student at university in Canada when the shooting happened. I remember the shock of the night but more than that, I remember the people I thought were allies turning their back on the truth.
I am currently at UCSB, and was on campus for this entire event. It took less than a New York Minute for the topic to immediately whiplash away from misogyny to gun control and mental health. If you tried to bring up the misogyny section, someone would IMMEDIATELY point out that more men than women died, despite the…
The Canadian press can be so awful at times, in 2014 most of brutalization is aimed at aboriginal women and you can get away with it. Most Canadians do not care how over 1,200+ aboriginal women have been murder or have gone missing, people who spoke out about what happened in Montreal need to speak out about what…
The remarkable thing, to me, about this is the continuing dystopian fantasy about "women's privileges" maintained by these nutcases and far too many who don't pull out the guns, but complain privately. If you quiz them about what these "privileges" are, they'll tell you:
- women expect and get free everything
- women…
$10 says each and every one of those managers take more smoke-breaks than she took bathroom breaks.
If you're pro-life, you better fucking be on this woman's side and supportive of making corporations treat pregnant women fairly in the workplace or you're a goddamn hypocrite.
I explained my "morning" sickeness to an organizer of a meeting once, and told her that I would really like to be put at X hour of the day, rather than Y, as I had been getting ill at Y hour. She scheduled me during Y hour, and I left twice during the talk to vomit.
Those managers are enemabags. So is anyone who gets snotty about pregnant women trying to exist while being pregnant.
If frequent bathroom breaks for a pregnant woman equals stealing from the company, then I wonder what peeing all over the assembly line and creating an unsanitary environment for both the products and the workers is. Because that seems to be the alternative here.
I am not even going to address the obvious stupidity on the gender aspect. Everyone else will.
"We get erased. It's not like people are talking about Babes in Toyland everyday, and yet they were hugely important to my band, and to a lot of girls who came of age in the '90s. When are they ever mentioned as influences? To think of a band like that, or Mecca Normal, that was so big and important to so many people,…
And yet, when Nirvana performed at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction earlier this year, the honor of filling in for Kurt's vocals went to four women. Namely, Lorde, Kim Gordon, St. Vincent, and Joan Jett, the latter of whom friggin' killed it.
I can't believe this was over three hours long. NBC, we only need one television station to produce over-hyped hot messes and that station is Lifetime.

Years ago delias made these waffle knit shirts that went over your hand up to the knuckles and had a thumbhole. I'm outside a lot for work and they're practical as fuck! I had three and wore them almost every day in the winter. They were starting to look a little ratty so a few weeks ago I went to the interwebz to see…
