I was something like 8 months pregnant with my first, and very visibly so I did not just look large (although that would not make it better) and some "lose weight now!" marketing jackasses handed me a flyer. I went home and cried and my husband called and chewed ass, and they actually said "well, maybe she DOES need…

I'm normally very "whataboutdamenz".... but the dismissive tone many "feminists" take toward routine infant male circumcision is beyond inappropriate. It's invading a child's body without their consent. Yet in the US/Canada many women calling themselves feminists, advocating for abortion, strong believers in consent,…

In what universe is penicillin used to treat warts? (side-eye)

I think a lot of you are misunderstanding my words and construing me for someone who hates addicts and junkies. Um, no.

She was not necessarily terrified (although that is a possibility). She could also have been drunk and unwilling to deal. And so therefore they should just ya know let a rapist off because like, she's drunk and can't deal, and maybe been paid in meth to shut her fucking mouth.

Why the fuck do people think we do this to be "unique"? I don't know a SOUL who did this to be unique. I know people who got tattoos because they wanted to decorate their skin. You know, like their house. How come no one writes articles about how "omg those fucking asshole snowflakes down the street went and painted…

Someone is self medicating their ADD a bit I'd bet.

Depends. A fairly large number of the cheerleader types at my HS ended up very fat. And yes insert something about body shaming, fat culture, and how I should be happy they "accepted themselves" but as the girl they picked on for being a lard ass with fat thighs in high school, I'm going to enjoy the fact I showed up…

ya know I like the theory but how is this supposed to inspire young women to grow up to wanna have HOT HOT HOT sex with their husbands?

Yes doctors are always correct. I am sorry but this doctor sounds like a fucking idiot. How on earth will simply shrinking her stomach correct this problem at all? This is treating the SYMPTOM of her problem, and not the cause.

I don't understand how the kids were "supposed" to react? Moved to tears about how athletic mom is? Jaw dopped and awestruck they came from such dramatic genius? I mean... are they art critics or something? Of course they're going to laugh seeing their mom hopping around in some low budget thing like that. The same…

I'll go with that, but still, this is not "every day regular makeup" for most folks. When I think of "stuff I am not willing to leave the house without" and when other women think of it, they're not thinking of a big complex routine. Anyway, I still say if we're doing it for other women, and to compete, it's about, in…

I don't understand why you seem to think the "Medical Establishment" needs to be the supreme ruler here.

Yeah. That whole line of "it's not about you!" has always made me kind of raise an eyebrow. I know there's lots of research showing women mostly do it to "compete" with other women but what are we competing for? Oh right, male approval. Note, I say this as someone who does do the whole conventional beauty routine…

to be honest, I've never got this bitch about "hiding we are menstruating." I am almost 40 (oh god...). The guys watched our movie in 5th grade too. They know we menstruate. What I would like to hide is blood all over my panties and jeans and skirts, or more accurately prevent it to begin with, by using a product that…

And some of those women who left China because of it have also been misled about their actual rights by well intentioned american Christian anti-choice missionaries as well. Because they love to bring them back here and get savvy global thinking leftist teens on their side.

surgery is an entirely inappropriate word here. The doctor inserts the IUD (I am talking non-hormonal here, I know nothing of the hormonal ones) by quickly opening the cervix a bit and slipping it in. It's small, about the size of your thumb from the first joint to the tip. Not very big at all. There is no anaesthetic…
