teachthecontroversy:
I don’t think that if you’re under 18, you should have sex.
I think there is a lot of responsibility in having sex, between the emotional aspects, the pregnancy issues, and sexually transmitted diseases.
I think that some teenagers have the ability to handle it, and…

fuckyeahfeminists:
The careers of different men progress at different rates. That’s just as we would expect. Higher performers are rewarded; lower performers slow down. Our accomplishments guide our careers. Good workplaces are meritocracies — do your job well, and you’ll get ahead. That’s what we believe.
Or, at least that’s what we want to believe. But after a few years on the job, we...

I love my family. I don’t get along with them most of the time, and there are thousands of miles that separate me from the closest one, but good or bad they’re still mine. For Christmas, apart from the cards, only one person posted a religious based message on my facebook page, for them this is much progress. So forgetting who I was dealing with I just...

theowlintheolivetree replied to your post: you’ve probably heard of the Until Abortion Ends thing, that all the anti-choice fucks are giving up candy, fast food, and pepsi or whatever until abortion ends (which it will never even if made illegal). i think they should just give up breathing until abortion ends.
Yes, the innocent fetuses that they claim to be defending can’t breathe,...

I got mine in London for £26, including a stud. Didn’t get an infection until I exchanged the nose ring five months later for a stud that was way too short and after literally cutting into my skin caused an infection. I took it out and after a few days my nose-hole closed up. Not a lucky story ;) But the piercing itself was very quick, painful for only a 2 seconds and very easy to take care...

On the word classy.

bonjoursex:
As women, we are often told to “have some class.” This word has always irked me because it basically means, “Wow, look at how good she is at being a lady the right way, the socially acceptable way,” which is a weird fucking thing to say.
Classy means having or behaving like a higher-class member of society, amirite? Who inhabits this higher class, usually?...

“I am pro-choice. The CHOICE begins at the decision to have sex. That is how humanity reproduces. If you do not want to reproduce, do not have sex. You can wine all you want, it doesn’t change the truth.”
That’s cool. I assume that also means that you are opposed to providing medical treatment for vehicular accident victims because they made the CHOICE to get into a...

Hey guys. Let’s talk about purity. I was raised in a Baptist church in the Deep South. I had a purity ring, and most of my bookshelf was stuffed with titles about “wearing white” and being “pure” and do you know what? The choice to not have sex until marriage is 100% valid and no one should make...

“The patriarchal idea that pregnancy is the only reason for a woman to have sex is one of the fundamental social idiocies of patriarchy - the idea that women’s sexuality exists only for procreation, except when it is for male pleasure. Thus, sex is “good” for those purposes and “bad” for any other, such as...

“The assertion that every woman should want every pregnancy is an expression of the fears many people carry about being unwanted or unloved. It blames mothers, and all women, for not providing the unconditional love that we all crave.”

Me: I'm sorry, I'll be back with the right plate
Him: whatever
*as I turn to walk away*
Him: *talking to his friends* he's probably a homo, he's too distraught.
*i turn back to the table*
Me: you know, you shouldn't talk about the dude who's about to serve your food, right beside him. Also, learn the definition of homo, it's a root word that means, "man" in which yes I am a man, more of one than you will ever dream to be. So if you're intentions were referring to me being a homoSEXUAL as in MAN-sexual, which I am, then use a correct form of it. Now, sit there little boy, while this gay man goes to get your food for you.
*i leave and come back*
