It is a damn shame that our husbands worry about someone attacking us physically for setting them straight. A damn shame.

I'm just so very glad that we are talking about this problem. That we are being vocal about how it's not right and that we should not have to put up with it.
I was walking home yesterday from the market and some asshole did the "You'd look prettier with a smile" thing to me and I told him he'd be prettier if he just…

That's weird. My ob/gyn suggested hourly prayer, long skirts, quitting my job, returning my graduate degree, building a time machine, and putting my husband in charge of the finances. AND IT WORKED! PRAISE JESUS! (For real, though, I hope it works out for you; I'm old and it did for me so there is hope!)

According to Alan Elliot of Baby Moses Dallas, the way to prevent miscarriage is simply by carrying the child to term.

My family has issues with my choice to keep my name — but they can't spell my husband's (and daughter's) name. Sometimes I things just addressed to "HisFirstName and MyFirstName" with no lastnames.

If you read the language of the bill, which I am sure you did not, you'd see that affirmative consent is not necessarily defined as "affirmative verbal consent." It's defined as "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement" by both parties to engage in sexual activity. Consent can be nonverbal; California…

It seems like a really good idea to shift the burden from the victim having to prove they said no, to the alleged perpetrator having to prove they said yes.

Why won't someone think of the poor rapists frat boys who now won't be able to get their sex on with that super drunk chick?

I promise not to write an excel spreadsheet of all the times you didn't give me the sexin' I want and send it to your work email.

She's not quite as crazy super-A list as Brangelina, but I've always been impressed with how private Kerry Washington has succeeded in being, especially w/r/t her child.

"Documents also allege Patel took drugs ordered from Hong Kong to try to abort the pregnancy.

Agree that it's messy. Like I said in another comment, I know people who can be so drunk they will have no recollection of that night's events the next day, but if you saw them and heard them you would not think they were anywhere near that impaired. One of my best friends is like that. I've seen her talk, flirt and…

I'm not saying Lena looks like this turkey, but her dress does.

I concur. I'm sure a lot of people thought I was an obnoxious drunk many many times. I was to busy trying to get up from the gutter to hear them.

That was pretty much my reaction. Really, really, really glad there wasn't a camera filming me during a particularly drunk period c. 2006.

well it's outrageous wherever it is, right? but i think, at least in mormon culture (i know lots of women attend law school these days), law is still seen as a primarily masculine pursuit so i'd expect more neanderthal types. whereas english (or something like it) that is seen as possibly less masculine as well as…

So I take it that these street trolls are able to tell, just by looking, which visitors to the abortion women's health clinics are totally and for sure there for abortions, and which are there for:

As someone currently waddling painfully around her office while 36 weeks pregnant, because she doesn't want to start her maternity leave clock a second sooner than she has to...WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY ARTIFICIAL WOMBS?

The only two reasons I can think of to randomly say something to a stranger in the produce section are:
