Completely on-point. I get super pissed at the "Oh if she hands it to a medical professional we get a chance to shame her and try and convince her to keep it!"

Double star you if I could. I have an addendum to the baby box. The alarm is pushed, first responders, hospitals, yes. But it also triggers an automatic list of people who have denied women a right to choose, and they are asked to find/be a parent for the baby, since they care so much.
To #2 - this is becoming more and more true as we ramp up the criminalization of mothers and pregnant women all over the country. We'be done a great (awful) job of showing women that we will lock them up and throw away the key for any perceived transgression against the baby or pregnancy. Esp. in conservative states,…
That's all I got. Fuck this.
My Aunt told me that when Doritos first came out, they smelled like straight up vomit in a bag, and she could not comprehend why anyone would eat them at all. Or how they got popular.
She told me that over time, they have somehow become much less vomit-scented. She can even eat them now. I'm scared of what original…
I'm allergic to wheat and my reaction can range from mild to life-threatening. I don't go places that have wheat based cuisine (pasta, pizza, dumplings, etc.,) and I always research restaurants to make sure there's something I can eat. But that's sometimes not enough. I am well within my rights to ask if a dish has…
10) HE'S NOT EVEN WEARING A GODDAMNED TUXEDO.
I understand you've all been working hard to promote the Jezebel: Now Less White identity, but I don't know that this is the way to do it.
I'm sure you didn't create this yourself, so I'm not aiming my vitriol at you, but this little meme is seriously fucking stupid. We'd all have "boyfriends" if our standards were such that we dated child molesters. Who even made this remedial thing?
Since my tale of how I flew to Canada to get laid failed to even get me out of the greys last week, I'm going to tell you EXACTLY how my Canadian beau broke up with me when I got there. It's pretty raunchy and I apologize in advance.
2 days before Valentine's day, we're sitting at our local bar and somehow get onto a conversation that basically goes like this "you make me miserable." "omg! you make me miserable too!" "want to go to Red Lobster? I have a gift certificate." "YES." Then we went to Red Lobster for our 'breakup dinner' and ordered the…
I got this.
Things hadn't been going well with Mr. JackAss for a couple months, but I had decided to stick through it during the holidays. Then, one afternoon, he offered to let me drive his Jeep. I shifted over to the driver's seat as he walked around to the other side. I adjusted the seat, and checked the mirrors as…
Going up, my parents were were divorced and never communicated directly. I got bounced back and forth between them a lot. Always based on what my mom needed. Fuck my social life or grades or stability. If being a parent started to get too hard, she'd ship me off to live with my grandmother or father. She'd get lonely,…
