Trigger Happy

extreme-irrelevancy:
I don’t understand people who post pleas that everyone on the Internet use “trigger warnings”
The Internet isn’t your safe space.
It’s completely unrealistic to have a warning in front of every possible trigger. ANYTHING can be a trigger. While a warning may be helpful for you it could tempt someone else into reading something they shouldn’t. Additionally...

The author of STFUSexists takes us on a heart-felt journey of her experience as the Philadelphia Walk for Choice coordinator on Feb 26. It’s an inspiring piece, and made the headline at Lawsonry.com. I encourage everyone to read it!

Some people just need to SHUT UP and stop having so much anger towards God. God knows what He does. If people would stop complaining about senceless things and actually PRAY then things might go a little different for them, the whole world actually!! Have they ever noticed why I receive blessings….
People whose lives aren’t good, don’t PRAY enough?

I will begin to collect the motivation necessary to get out of bed, put on some pants, consider putting on a bra, put on a sweatshirt instead, and head out to target and/or Michaels to get supplies to make shirts for me, Jesse, and Emma.

Well there that goes
I just burst through the 150 lb threshold that I’ve been fighting off for this entire 17 weeks of pregnancy, and I did it with a vengeance. I know I’m supposed to be gaining weight but can’t I just counterbalance that with getting rid of the 25 lbs of comfort weight I’ve gained over the past 2 years?
No?
Ok.
Pizza time then, I guess.

There is hope for this country.
However, as with the recent turmoil in Egypt, most Americans (67%) say the United States should leave the situation in the Arab countries alone. Just 17% say the United States should get more directly involved in the political situation there, but another 17% are not sure.
I’m glad this is happening. And for those of you on my dash who...

Do we not understand the inherent DIFFERENCES between human beings and animals? I’m sorry I was born into the top of the food chain, and I’m going to eat meat because I want to. Some “animal rights activists” are just too irritating. No, animals and humans cannot have equal rights, and that is not the same as saying that humans of different genders, ages, colors, nationalities,...
Cat calling

I’m having an argument with a friend of mine about cat calling.
Some backstory: We were in the car at a stop light and a pretty girl walks by. My friend leans at the car yells out the car “holla holla holla hollahollaholla holla at cha boy” repeatedly. At first the girl ignored him and then, as my friend persisted, she smiled and walked away.

The Vatican reports cited countless cases of nuns forced to have sex with priests. Some were obliged to take the pill, others became pregnant and were encouraged to have abortions. In one case in which an African sister was forced to have an abortion, she died during the operation and her aggressor led the funeral mass.
So abortion...
Easily Offended
jayfromla:
Can we please lay off the accusations of racism, sexism, classism, fatism, etc.-ism? Can we please do that? I’m tired of all this political correctness and leftist sensitivity. Why? Because it’s impossible to have a genuine conversation with someone when you’re constantly worried about them getting offended by something you said. Especially when your intentions weren’t the least bit...

But just because he can eloquently defend his position doesn’t make him any better of a person than someone who makes women in the kitchen jokes. If anything, it makes him worse. Because he’s not just ignorant or low-brow. He’s fully aware of the societal implications of the current differences between men and women, and just chooses to ignore them to better fit into his worldview...

One thing (true) liberals and (true) libertarians will (should) always agree on. TWOD needs to end. It does nothing to help, does so much to harm, and is just a way for big government and big corporatism to control our lives.

I am going to SORTA defend alexholzbach here. He is not a “crazy sexist” by any means. Yes he is anti-choice, yes his views don’t go along with many women’s views, but I have never once seen him post something that is done just to get on women’s nerves, and because of that I don’t think he is a “crazy sexist”. HOWEVER, I do believe this statement of his is very ignorant....

Here’s the thing. I’ve heard this argument a lot, regarding wealthy, straight, white men and just about every minority. “whites and blacks are equal.” “Rich people and poor people have the same opportunities.” “Straight people and gay people are treated equally; they can both marry someone of the opposite sex.”

So I’m going to be wearing a shirt that says “I’m pro-choice and so is my fetus.” No lie. But the big question is, What should EMMA’S shirt say? And yes, we are totally making a shirt for our dog. Ideas?
