I briefly worked with an old man who tried to be my boss (he wasn’t) and stared at my tits. I filed an HR complaint about him and he was warned. Flash forward a month, this guy tries to tell me that I’m not allowed to write my white paper in active voice because... reasons? When I told him to take it up with my boss,…

A friendly correction - the monster was played by Rhys Darby, who is from New Zealand. Kiwis and Aussies are not interchangeable.

Yeah, but I don’t want them thinking they need to prove anything. Especially with innocent people in a town nearby. Let them be a joke and get arrested before they hurt anyone, ok?

Oh honey. She always has been. There there. *tissues and hugs*

My personal opinion is that he looks like a refugee from Pillsbury Doughboy Land who recently had a human face transplant. Or a lumpy sack of wet oatmeal with a cranky face.

Me too! I broke the balleria off of her stand so that she could come outside with me and dance in the garden.

Trust the professionals, you want these women in the van and driving far far away from you.

I will see myself in Phasma if I want to, J.J. Abrams isn’t the boss of me!

I am an unwanted child. My parents made sure I knew it my entire childhood. Please, go fuck yourself with your unwanted child shaming. Seriously. With a hot poker.

Meee toooo. I have 35 years of experience at restraining myself from pushing her off a cliff.

Her bottom line is that she wants me to suffer parenthood as much as she suffered. Like, she wants me to have a baby as revenge for how awful (she thought) I was as a child. It’s sick.

Isn’t it funny how they go straight to calling you miserable, ugly, unwanted, and the ever popular “bitch” - simply because you stated the realities of pregnancy and parenthood? Methinks some mommies from the mommy mafia are feeling defensive about their wittle mommy fee fees.

You rock Lipstick. Keep telling the truth.…

Me too. If you cant figure these things out for yourself, an unplanned child certainly won’t help.

Tracy, speaking as a grown ass woman with a bangin’ career, and awesome marriage and zero kids, you are wrong wrong wrong. Please stop. Get over yourself. You are condescending. I don’t need to get knocked up to get that “roll with it” mentality. I am running a $300+ million dollar IT project, and that is way better…

Right on the mark. I have this fear as well, and I know exactly why: I was an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy and both of my parents made sure that I knew how much my birth ruined their grand marital plans and turned them into monsters. They hated being parents.

Me too. I have an IUD, my husband had a vasectomy, and yet my mother still says in her sing song gramma voice “you never know, accidents could happen! I know lots of ladies who got pregnant in spite of IUD or vasectomy! Tee hee hee!” *fist punch of death*

I think the worst part was that the hospital wanted to review my sexual history in a live interview with the board. As in, an inquisition about young Miss Cake Pie’s sexual behavior by her friends’ parents (small town, lots of doctors and nurses). Such bullshit.

Yep. This. My parents’ Catholic hospital health insurance wouldn’t cover my hormonal birth control, even though I was a 15 year old virgin with hellish ovarian cysts, nightmare periods, and was bedridden with cramps so bad that I ended up going on independent study because I missed so much school. Why? Because I might…

I don’t know where else to put this, so here goes:
