True, true. Maybe it's my age, but I feel like Peg's always been there for me. From first year uni, with the quasi-feminist ham-fistery of Edible Woman, to the totally cynical but frighteningly prescient Handmaid's Tale, then the technically brilliant and astoundingly boring stuff, and now the ass-kicking sci-fi.…

Nooooooo. She's OURS. Especially when she says subtly nasty things about our prime minister.

Hmmmm. The article doesn't say that the couple contacted an adoption agency; it says that priest-guy heard about the situation and offered to help find a family for the incipient kid. It's the church's social media person who's all alarmist about it... did she ramp up the hyperbole to get a greater response?

Disgraceful behaviour... in my experience, back in the mid-2000s, the SAHDs were positively fawned over. This is in Vancouver, though, where most first-time mothers are in their 30s, so perhaps there's a greater acceptance of differing parenting modes.

I just visited my first one, actually, last week. It had about 4 stalls facing a long row of sinks in a counter, with room on the counter for changing. The stalls were separated by floor-to-ceiling walls; they weren't too roomy, but you could fit a kid in there with an adult easily. I was very pleased with the…

Whoops! I mixed her up with Carly Rae Jepsen. I blame my advanced age.

Isn't Taylor Canadian? Happy America day, peeps!

My dear, please let me introduce you to http://www.etiquettehell.com

Money is always good. Is there a women's organisation that HRW can suggest, with the ability to accept online donations?

I totally approve of uniforms. I've had a minimal wardrobe for the past dozen years, maintaining at about 10 t-shirts, 5 pairs of pants or skirts, sneakers and hoodies. I have some dresses for formal events, but the last few years I have one "winter parties" and one "summer weddings" dress. So awesome.

Urgh, there was the Little Brown Dress Project, but the site seems to be down.

My mom signed my grade 4 permission form so fast I was reeling.

I cannot agree with the age (10 or 11) that you feel is appropriate for expanded sexual knowledge. My son was a champion masturbator by the time he was 3, and by 4 he was keen to know where he came from

Whoa. If a guy needs magnums, there's no possible way to use smaller ones safely. Latex is organic and fragile. There is an average thickness as the standard, but there is a range of thicknesses in any sheet of latex. Those weak spots break when overstretched, and although it may not happen, it's not something to risk…

Okay, gotcha. I was probably set off by the mention of Mirena, which cost me over $300. Still pissed about that, although it's fucking boss not to have periods anymore.

Where do you see them in the $3 range? Urban centre? Dedicated condom store? Clinic or pharmacy? I cannot think of anywhere in my city where you can get them that cheaply. Are you sure you're not mistaking a 3-pack for a 12?

Sounds like a latex allergy, says the random internets person. But seriously, it's either that or the nonoxyl-9 in the lube. (Just google for info.) I empathise with your sore bits.

Okay, you need to give us prices for what you consider ”cheap” condoms. Do you mean $5? $3? You keep insisting that condoms are inexpensive, so please tell us your frame of reference.

Art is allowed to be provocative! They should have hustled a scholarship for you, not berated you.

Hormonal BC may be okay, if there are not any medical contraindications, but it's really expensive. If it's not subsidised by employers or health plans, it's not an option for many women.
