Also really don’t love reinforcing the idea that women without children just don’t know what they really want or that they’ll change their minds. I know my lady friends without kids are super sick of being told “just you wait! you’ll see someday!” when they say they don’t want kids. Not to mention an IUD is absolutely…

Seriously. And:

It’s coming off as ridiculously tone-deaf to me considering a planned parenthood just got shot up, putting people (like me) who are desperate for birth control in a life-or-death situation. “Mourning the accidental pregnancy?”

That is so fucking gross. “Hey, you’ll just go through a serious medical procedure that costs a lot of money so I don’t have to wrap my dick, right?”

Yeah, annoying because this is what every conversation with my extended family seems to entail. “Oh, just wait! You’ll love it when it happens!” Um, no.

Ugh, yes. I'm sick of talking with female acquaintances who have had "oops" pregnancies that were clearly not real accidents. I have two children and would love to have another, but I know if I became pregnant right now it would be both too risky (I nearly died during my last pregnancy) to remain pregnant and also too…

“It’s fine if you don’t want to have a baby, but are you suuuuuure you don’t want to have a baby? Maybe you should get pregnant and see!” is sort of what I was getting from this article.

1000% this.

what do you do for contraception if you don’t know what you want?

There’s also something creepy about the subtle “accidental pregnancies may make some childfree-by-choicers someone embrace motherhood” message. Sure, it’s true for some, but overall, isn’t giving women as much control over what happens to their body as possible for the best?

This is reading really privilege-y to me. There are some who have the privilege of accidental pregnancies being okay, or even welcomed. If that’s you, then don’t get an IUD. No one is making women get IUDs if they don’t want them.

Fascinating. I don’t feel this way at all. I am deeply committed to not getting pregnant, and always have been. I have nightmares about finding out that I’m pregnant. I reflect almost every single day on how grateful I am not to be pregnant or have kids. I’m almost certain that I would get an abortion if I did get…

I never leave. I’m sleepy after sex.

Yep. Jez started out as an alternative to the typical gossip lady mags, and now it’s going to turn into one.

Agreed. I’ll admit I enjoy the occasional pop culture article - tweet beat and dirt bag tend to be entertaining - but I’m here for the feminist reporting. After yesterday’s news, I’m now loathe to click *any* pop culture article on the site for fear of reinforcing the stereotype that the ladies only love the gossip…

I like celebrity gossip and dirtbag & midweek madness are fantastic. But this, along with that GOD AWFUL 500 days of Kristin bull shit, is the worssst. I am going to be disappointed if this clutters mainpage Jezebel from here on out.

I feel the same way about this as I do regular fantasy sport teams. I understand it not at all and feel slightly irritated that anyone would be wasting their time with it.

I was in a very committed, very stable, very long-term relationship with someone that I trusted completely. We had discussed all of the issues related to infidelity and had come to an agreement on all of them. We both had jobs that required a fair amount of travel, and my partner was often asked to go to other work…

Huh? That doesn’t make any sense. My partner’s best friend is a girl, and I’m not going to demand that they stop hanging out once we’re hitched. Likewise, if he asked me to quit hanging out with my guy friends I’d be pissed. This just seems like an insecurities issue.

Thanks. Sorry for the typos (they’re vs. their), but autocorrect is a dirty motherfucker sometimes, & I caught it too late- but, I still meant what I said, lol. People need to be held responsible for the shit they do.
