My husband and I have a rule for dealing with familial conflict: it’s your mother, you deal with it. Aka if his mother pisses me off, he has to talk to her about it and resolve it. If my dad does something that he thinks is unacceptable, I fix it to husbands liking. It has worked really well for us and shows our

“PAP SMEARS! PAP SMEARS FOR ALL MY FRIENDS!”

I can bet any girlfriends he’s ever had do, though.

Nothing to see here. Man who does not directly experience life and death issues -for women- criticizes women for dwelling on them.

Eight years ago, after fostering several dogs, I found this one. I didn’t want to take her because she had some medical issues, really bad mange, some bacteria stuff and debilitating separation anxiety. Three days into the fostering I fell in love. The heart is a dum dum (to quote You’re the Worst). Everything worked

That’s tricky. Like you, I’m a pretty kinky vixen, and honestly I think I just need to stick with dudes who are more experienced, because I’m not sure I really want to teach someone to be good in bed, y’know? But on the other hand, I do have an ex who I started dating when I was 29 and he was 26. He was really

PP took care of me when I was poor and needed a diaphragm. Now I take care of them by giving all of my semi-mandatory United Way donations at work to them.

I haven’t worked for the federal government, but as a grad student, I do have access to student health services that are right on campus, and thus a 5 minute walk from my apartment. However, between the confusing with insurance coverage (I could probably get everything covered, but maybe not), and the fact that PP

Do you teach classes on how to be a fucking bad ass? because I would like to sign up please.

I lived right around the corner from a PP clinic in my 20s, and the staff was amazing! I had “catastrophic” insurance only at the time (I’m an oldz), so annual exams, etc were out of pocket. I could barely afford my bc. Because of PP, I learned I had a health issue that put me at greater risk for TSS, PP identified

My parents were very much of the no-sex-before-marriage mindset (at the time, anyway). My first serious boyfriend and I started having sex when I was 18, and used condoms at first before I switched to the patch, thanks to PP. My story is nowhere near as dramatic as others, but I still remember the intense relief at

Yeah, none of that stuff is really mine behind the fence. But the green space is permanent, so it’s kind of like it’s ours. Nobody else goes back there anyways. I pretend that’s my acreage. :P

Ya but it won’t put his stupid comment back into the greys :(

In 2004, I was raped in an area of upstate NY where the rape crisis services were run by Planned Parenthood—as in, if you came to a hospital reporting a rape or sexual assault, that’s where they referred you for ongoing care. The staff at PP’s rape crisis center was incredibly kind and supportive to me. They gave me

Stop replying to a known troll.

Almost tow years ago to the day, my on-and-off boyfriend of seven years committed suicide. We weren’t dating at the time, but it still hit me like a train.

Happy birthday, PP! I was a 19 year old, taking the virginity of an 18 year old co-worker of mine when we realized that he’d cum AND the condom had not been properly placed onto his manhood, causing spillage. You came to the rescue with the morning after pill (not available over the counter in my state at the time),

*known troll, though... Best not to engage...

I appreciate and respect the sentiment, the bravery, and the integrity in taking a stand even in the face of violent opposition.

These people don’t support Trump; they support that he gives them a seemingly legit outlet for their hate.
