agreed. luckily this guy was “harmless.” he was just going to keep following me and pestering me for a date despite the many and increasingly more aggravated NOs. my boyfriend threatening him just made him eventually take the hint - because who the fuck cares about my autonomy if another man owns me amiright?
had this…

i’ve made up a fake boyfriend. and i’ve had a male friend pose as one. and even that doesn’t deter them sometimes. no matter how fucking clear we are about “no, i do not want to date you,” they persist.

what sucks is you can’t do anything about those kind of stalkers. they aren’t violent enough to warrant the police to intervene. they aren’t threatening enough to get an order of protection. you literally can’t do anything about them until they get dangerous. i had a similar guy. thankfully, one of my boyfriends…

these are the horrifying kind of stalkers. they seem nice at first but then get increasingly creepier.

Well, thank you. I’ve been in the greys before. Its a bummer, but grey or not, all voices are valuable to the coversation (...with certain exceptions).

Ugh. All of this bothers me so much. I concede to the fact that he was young and was raised in an environment that fostered thst sort of behavior. And honestly, had he been given actually therapy as well as certain degrees of punishment he could be a successful and non-abusive adult. At my last residential treatment…

They would run me out of town during sundress season. knee length (or shorter as is your preference) skirts and bare shoulders for all!

That’s a horrifying thing that I’ve never heard about before. i had no idea. I grew up with jewish families at school but they were ultra-modern for the most part. Do they have aranged marriages from young ages as well?

And now i assume all ortho-jewish women are actually fauns. The skirts are part of the cover up, literally and metaphorically.

I’ve had a transvaginal ultrasound to take a look and ongoings in my ovaries and uterine lining (lots of break through bleeding and weird pain - not pregnant at the time). And while i did not consider it painful....it was super uncomfortable and i could not imagine one being demanded of me. I mean, how fucking…

This is unsurprising to me. Have you seen how they reacte when a female soldier has an unplanned pregnancy? Its not great.

am i the only person who see’s how dead these girl’s eyes are? like (the girl who is second from the left - the straightened hair) i saw photos of her with her fiance and she just looked...stiff and lifeless. she clearly did not want to be in contact with him and doesn’t even look like she is on board with the union…

Health insurance doesn’t cover OTC. They are trying to pass this legislation to get out of their companies covering it through health insurance. That’s the point. OTC means out of pocket.

Its a dangerous step. Without medical guidance taking bc there can be a lot of issues. I had dosage issues and some negative side effects from certain brands. You need a doctor to make sure you’re taking it safely and properly. And this says nothing about affordability. Accessible doesn’t mean cheap.

I agree! I have been on 4 different types of bc pills over the past 11 years. It involved a lot if trial by error to find something that worked for me and changing dosage amounts. Allowing people to buy it like ib profen could create a lot of health issues. And without the right medical guidance people might not…

No. women are only valuable when actively pregnant. Duh. And these children could not pregnant...which was part of their appeal...

I mean, at least he’s consistent....but he can fuck right the fuck off.

i...just not. i have friends in nursing school and others in med school. practicing exams on each other is common, but not invasive ones of this nature. like, my friend sammie said (depending on the program) they would practice drawing blood on each other, breast exams, and various other types. but they only ever…

my mom still had small periods for the first 4 months of being pregnant me. apparently her body was just playing an elaborate trick. she gained all of 10 lbs over the entire pregnancy. she only realized she was pregnant when the indigestion was felt by my dad and was like “yea...that’s not gas. we should go to the…

Considering how many (known) children my grandfather had (13 between 7 women, 2 in other countries) i would not be surprised if i dated a relative...
