Anecdotally, in the last sixish months since throwing my cheating husband out of the house and getting a puppy, this is absolutely 1000% true.

I think this sums it up nicely. I’m not unaware of racism, but I can’t pretend I don’t know how much I don’t know. Would having a biracial child affect me in this way? Probably.

Noooooo

Not to be weird, but....

Jez gonna Jez.

I mean, there is a difference between having a opinions and judging another woman’s decisions, and trying to outright stop women from making choices you disagree with.

I did not say all sex work is exploitation. Demand for sex work will ALWAYS lead to exploitation. 

Ms. Holloway seems like an interesting and well-spoken person but it’s silly to present her as a “typical sex worker.”

Fuck off, John. 

No, you have it right.

I’m with you.  It’s strange how people need to tie themselves into philosophical knots to say that it is totally normal and safe to have sex with multiple people while pregnant.  That’s not safe.  It’s not okay.  And I’m sad for this woman that she needs to keep selling her body while pregnant. 

I’m a feminist and I support reproductive rights and I don’t think that sex work, or prostitution, is an awesome career choice that we should all celebrate. No. No No. I’m in favor of whatever social services can make sex workers safe and preserve their health. I will advocate for all the girls and women who deal in…

Once again jezebel, third-wave rag, writes about sex worker by featuring white, well-paid, women. A woman who would have other economic options. Never the women in brothels who are billed for every tampon they use and leave more broken and (literally) broke than when they entered. Or the numerous places where sex work…

There are stigmas related to just about every aspect of pregnancy and motherhood. I don’t care if she’s a sex worker as her regular day job, but yeah I’ll judge the hell out of her for doing it while pregnant if there’s even a <.0001% chance it could harm the baby. I would judge any working mom whose job put the baby…

I must know how you pulled this off. Did you have to just....run around peeing? I can’t even imagine it!

Deciding you don’t want kids AFTER you already have kids is a huge dickish thing to do. 

My husband informed me just before Thanksgiving he decided he didn’t want kids. Our kids were 2 1/2. I left with the kids a few days later to stay with friends. Honestly, given the BS I've gone through since, I should never have given him a second chance.

This is an inspiration. I want to watch the movie adaptation right now.

this is actually my cousins’ story.  their mom had gotten a new stove just before thanksgiving & things are going well that morning, the turkey is in & cooking, potatoes & veg on top boiling away.  then a bird flies into the livingroom & all hell breaks loose as everyone tries to catch it or shoo it out.  naturally,…

I spent one Thanksgiving week as a teenager making out with the best friend of one of my cousins, who was staying with them because her parents were going through a nasty divorce. This branch of my family is really religious and conservative, and during dinner, my aunt launches into a rant about how important it is…
