Right, it was her choice. It doesn't sound like anyone pressured her into it, she seems perfectly well-adjusted, and if it made her happy she doesn't have to explain herself to anyone.

My school taught all that stuff, but I still feel like it didn't prepare anyone for a realistic sex life whatsoever.

Ever notice how sex ed never actually gives any information on having sex? Like they just throw abstinence at you, and in my school there was a section in our textbook about birth control, but the overarching message was still "don't till you're married!" OK, say I DO wait til then... what now? It's just a fantasy…

Typical human condition of denial and wishful thinking, I think. If it hasn't been a problem yet, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and all will be fine. ...Until it's not.

Born 6 weeks early by emergency C-section, and here I am 20 years later, alive and well. Do what you want, lotus birth woman, as it doesn't seem to be harmful in any way, but I think my kid will turn out fine if I cut off the umbilical cord.

Don't go naked, always make sure you have your frosting squirting bra on!

Whatever happened to just being grateful to get a gift?!

My favorite response to "No, I'm really tired." was "Oh, come on, it'll wake you up!" at this point I pretended to be super drunk, sat in the street, and told him I was going to sleep there. At this point he decided to shut up and just walk me to my dorm and leave.

MARK. Oh man, Mark. He was short, he walked with a limp that was a side effect of cancer he had as a baby, and by the time I graduated 8th grade I was madly infatuated. He was the funniest guy I had ever met. I remember one day I was on the verge of crying and trying to keep it together and he somehow said…

Thank you for clearing that up! Hungary is quite beautiful, I am in Budapest. Rural Romania was stunning as well. I am also volunteering at a community center in a district with a large Roma minority, so that should prove interesting. (And one of the other reasons I was worried about saying something offensive on…

Studying abroad in Hungary. Was in Romania a few weekends ago. I have not interacted with any Roma personally, but the attitudes towards them are very real. The stigma is of Roma being a thieving people that support themselves through petty crime. It's a terrible cycle- you're Roma and you can't get a job because…

I was SO mad until I caught the satire. Close one.

The INTERNET is PUBLIC? GASP. Screenshots? What are those? Like some sort of vodka I slurp off my laptop?

Yep looks like she better not be teaching geography...

General rule of thumb: if the word "rape" is in it, it's probably illegal.

from LSU protesting Planned Parenthood***

There was a pro-life group from LSU Planned Parenthood on my campus last spring. It was ridiculous because a) Louisiana PP doesn't perform abortions, so I'm unsure what exactly they hoped to accomplish with their demonstration and b) the materials they handed out were pink and meant to parody Planned Parenthood, but…
