Um I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, women do have an egg quality and quantity problem as we age. Some are lucky, some get assistance they will never admit, and some just go on pretending like not being a mother was their plan all along. Very few women disclose the lengths they are forced to to have their…

Says someone who has clearly never been in a relationship.

Yes, that sex work involves sex does make it different than other work. Are you fucking serious with that? Adding money to sex doesn’t make it suddenly not sex. People can still consent only on their terms and remove consent at any point. Consent is not tossed to the wayside because money is involved. It’s still our…

Um, yeah, that’s exactly what happens. If you consent to sex in the dark thinking you’re with your spouse, you consented but it is rape. Because if you would have said no, but said yes because you were tricked, that’s rape by fraud. A sex workers consent is the same as any other person. Because it happens to have a…

I feel like it’s super telling when people obsess about kids having sex or being promiscuous if we let them X, Y, or Z. They’re basically saying that fear is the only thing keeping people in line, not actual morals, so you kinda side-eye them like ok, you just told me a lot about yourself.

Yes, the genital cancer causing strains are sexually transmitted. You can’t pick it up shaking hands or touching your face. You could conceivably get it by touching someone else’s genitals and then your own though.

Pregnancy hormones can cause any existing cancer to grow more quickly, which is why a pap is recommended when women get pregnant and a bit after a birth. The information I have is that hpv related cell changes occur very slowly otherwise. Do you have any other non-pregnancy fast growing hpv stories? I’m really…

Insecurities? Is that some high school attempt at a slap down? Get out of here with that - personal attacks are super immature. If you have an argument, make it. Including personal animus gives you less credibility, not more.

I think you’re assuming a lot about the motivations of people who aren’t you.

I think you’re assuming a hell of a lot about a conversation you couldn’t understand. 1- Assuming they’re trying to fool anyone, when they could very well have not given a damn what you thought. 2 - Assuming because you perceived someone to be playing badly that that was also their interpretation. 3 - Assuming…

Who and how were they trying to fool?

Why is it uncomfortable?

ETA: WTF I’m gray??

Please explain “can’t be bothered”.

Me. I have really shitty daily symptoms from birth control. I’ve tried literally every kind - I’m a health professional. The Mirena, the Paraguard, pills, patches, rings, injections, you name it. I’m fucking tired of feeling like shit every day or using condoms with my long term monogamous partner in case I get…

It is a myth. There is zero evidence to support this. Ask anyone who has ever worked in abortion. Like me. Abortion is no joke - it’s often a painful, scary, stigmatized experience. Nobody is oblivious to these consequences.

Yeah! Donate y’all!

Not having to hear rank hypocrisy that hurts your soul. The only necessary point.
