But then the graph would be unreadable, since you’d be compressing the two halves together.

By the way, we up here in Canada are already building our border wall.

I’m a long time out of college but my parents advice would have been “do better at another school and transfer”

plus men are big old babies when it comes to pain. can confirm both anecdotally and via science.

This is awesome. I am a cyclist, and one of the reasons that I don't race is because there is so much misogyny in the sport. It isn't like football or anything, but there aren't big women's races like the men get. Women have to start last at coed events. Or women's versions of races are shorter because, you know, we…

A protest vote. You know, like voting third party because Bernie didn’t get the nomination...

Him x 17m right now.

YES. (Like the ad pictured at the top of this article—making women choose to walk through “beautiful” or “average” doors, and then telling them they’re wrong if they go through the “average” one, like that’s supposed to be helpful??? Motherfucker, that’s just a reinforcement of the idea that being beautiful is the…

My view on his hasn’t shifted much at all. First, I thought he was a socialist. Now, I think he’s a socialist who doesn’t understand how work ethic, hard work, and earning things actually work.

Yeah, it’s totally “corporate whoredom” to expect to be fairly compensated for your work.

That’s true for many of us. I have zero problem with two women at the top of the ticket and would like to see a fuck ton more women in Congress. But we’re still a society full of sexism and racism. We’re getting better, but it’s like turning a large ship.

THIS. When I was younger, still living at home with my conservative parents, I took a political science class at the local college. We had weekly debates, and for the reproductive rights debate, I took the anti-abortion side, because that’s what I believed. The professor asked if I thought abortion was murder and…

Thank you Jia, and thank you, Elizabeth. Telling and publishing these stories is vital to keeping abortion safe and legal. We need more of our stories out there.

I had an abortion at 20 weeks for chromosomal abnormalities. The baby would have lived, but there was no way to tell how much brain or organ function would…

This feeds the incredibly damaging narrative of “Good abortions vs. Bad abortions.” The whole point is that women should be allowed to access health care without having to prove they deserve it. The headlines isn’t click bait but it raises an interesting question : who are you to decide her decision oy to remain…

jia, want to thank you for writing this. i am not a mom, have never been pregnant, but was moved to tears by your words and the way you spoke with elizabeth. this story is so important,and i’m glad you were the one writing this. thank you.

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

I’m not a crier. I rarely cry. But I cried now. What a brave woman. What a scary country we live in. I just dearly hope it doesn't get any scarier than it already is for anyone who is not a cishet white man.

My heart broke into one thousand pieces for this woman. my god. MY GOD. I CANNOT.

I think Brock might be a sociopath. But, I also think we have a problem on campus. Not “promiscuity” or anything that rape victims are responsible for. But I do think men go to college expecting sex. The campus hookup culture is something men are told is their reward. And they are encouraged and it is normalized to…

Some people don’t care about this, but it is SUCH a red flag for me. I live a busy life, so when I plan to do something, I do it. Someone who is chronically late or just isn’t concerned about timing would have to be pretty spectacular for me to stick around.
