Same. Hated them all.

"Or do you get a pass if you're young, straight and coupled? Is that the privilege you're referring to when you say having a baby is a privilege?"

I was also asked by a cousin. Was a poor grad student at the time. We went shopping for bridesmaids dresses and then at the lunch afterwards all of the maids were discussing how much things were going to cost. I had to back out right then and there. There was NO WAY I could afford what they were proposing. So I…

This is totally unacceptable! There is no way I could have swung this. I feel for you, man!

It's true, but I feel that it's on a different level. Gotta be intimate with that peen if you're at risk for an STI. Don't necessarily need to be intimate with an unvaccinated person for an immunocompromised person to get the measles.

This was my first thought too. If you're not vaccinated, then you put many other people at risk. If you're not circumcised, you're not really putting other people at risk the same way (this is coming from a Jew who is definitely circumcising her sons).

I don't even think that's current anymore. :( I went to Bates College and they say $60,720 for tuition, room, and board (not including books). However, the average financial aid package is ~$40,000 (and I got even more than that).

People be crazy. I would be happy to go to a potluck wedding! Even though my own was pretty traditional. The nice thing about weddings is that most people get to have one, so you should do what you want!

I knew what you meant. Remembering history and all...

I just want to hold him for a really long time. Poor little dude. :(

A friend the other day told me that she thought that every woman once she hit an age at which she could procreate, should have to get an IUD. And then when they wanted to have kids, they could go and get it removed. This was completely logical and reasonable to her and my head just about exploded at her forced…

"You can talk to me all day long about how it's boys responsibility to control their behavior, asking a teenage boy to concentrate in class with a clearly outlined vagina right in front of his face is ridiculous."

Also, I was in elementary school in the late 80s. I definitely wore leggings along with every other female 5 year old I knew, and no one had any complaints then. This is absurd.

Physical and emotional abuse are on totally different levels than facing adversity and being criticized by a boss. Everyone should be able to go to school or work and not be afraid for their person. It is not appropriate in the work place for someone to assault me, and it is not appropriate for children to do it to…

Waffle? Butter? Mmmmmmm

Then why are you protecting yourself everywhere you go and being aware of the people around you and your surroundings?

This would be extremely helpful. I have play wrestled with my husband too bc we have had conversations about this. He thinks that since I am basically the same size as him, we are comparable strength-wise. This is wholly not true and if he pins me, I am down. For sure, cannot get up. Since he is my husband, and I…

What has your experience been like? I don't think I experience things to the extent that a lot of women have (I have never been sexually assaulted or raped), but I have had men whistle and holler at me on the street or tell me that I'd be prettier if I smiled at them, and I have had men grab my ass, and the list goes…

Totally an aside- but if your mom was 44 and pregnant now, the doc would not tell her to abort. However, they would offer some screening/testing in case she would want to find out before you were born if you would have Down syndrome, or a number of other chromosome conditions.

Tee hee.
