This girl was apparently wildly overestimating both the sympathy and the credulity rape accusations merit from the police.

She’s likely being the mil she wishes she had. When given things/advice by family it helps me to think of the intent - of course I don’t want this XYZ or advice on washing pillows but was it given out of love? Then I will try to respond with love and hope to guide them towards my own tastes/topics in common as we go.

Most people’s wages are not union. And everyone should get at least minimum wage and that’s an important thing to look at when you hire domestic help. But I don’t get why you shouldn’t pay less than your own wages - isn’t that the point of labor specialization? Do you think fast food workers should get $30/hour?

She’s a sex worker and so I would not be at all surprised if this worked.

Sorry, I misread you. My apologies!

It doesn’t come from intelligent women freely participating in beautiful photo shoots that include partial nudity. It does come, in large part, from slut shaming women who do so and falsely conflating nudity with sexuality. Mostly it comes from our interpersonal behavior - teaching boys that disrespecting women is ok.

Also she didn’t say it was feminist - she just did it. She didn’t explain nor does she need to.

Could we PLEASE, on a women’s website, stop equating nudity with sexuality? The idea that my state of mind is external, that nudity alone telegraphs sexual intent, that we must cover ourselves lest we be seen as sexual, is a tenant of rape culture.

Part of our oppression is lack of ownership over our own bodies and the unwilling sexualization of our bodies.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that found that unneccesary “with” the most offensive part of the whole thing.

I dunno, I kinda feel that in a culture that treats my body as both a commodity and something I should hate, that choosing nudity because I like my body and I feel like it is kinda feminist. Loving my body and not being ashamed of it, insisting that my nudity is not inherently sexual, is pretty feminist to me.

Please stop conflating posing with a female body unclothed with “sexuality”. The human body is not inherently sexual just because it is naked. That kind of thinking is part of our exploitation of the female body.

Same. I love my body and bring naked and having great fun photos taken. There’s nothing to be ashamed of - it’s my body and it is awesome and powerful - why should I cover it up if I don’t want to? Also - nudity is not the same as sexuality. We have fetishisized and sexualized the female body but on its own, it’s not…

Shit I don’t know how I misread that!

No it seems I misread it. I don’t know why but I thought she had had two abortions but she actually had two kids before her third pregnancy.

Yes, it is my place to judge people who think what happens in my uterus is their business. If they disagreed with abortion and just didn’t have abortions, I wouldn’t judge them. But they are actively fucking with my rights.

She did though. She had two before her third pregnancy that the suit was based on. So much later, after her own two abortions and an adoption, and after she can no longer get pregnant, she became anti-choice. WHAT. AN. ASSHOLE!

What do you mean it takes 9 months to get a referral? You mean it takes 9 months to get an appointment? Or that it takes 9 months to find someone?

Feeling heard by your doctor is priceless. Just like any other service professional, find a new one if you’re not getting what you need. You’re worth it!

No but I did. I wrote to the medical board.
