Skinny women vs. Curvy Women
I am really sick of both sides jabbing back and forth. It’s terrible for a skinny girl to call a larger girl disgusting, but it is equally terrible for a curvy girl to say that a skinny one is not a “real woman.” Real women come in all shapes and sizes. A grown woman knows it is important to support the women around them. Saying skinny women aren’t “real”...

Things learned in the first few months of...
1. All diapers are NOT the same.
2. All wipes are NOT the same.
3. Everyone will tell you what you’re doing is wrong, ESPECIALLY if it is recommended by your doctor.
4. If your child hasn’t spit up on you yet, it is because he/she is waiting for you to wear something nice on a day you plan to be seen in public.
5. While the smell of your own child’s diaper barely phases you,...

Prison weddings: Something old, something new,...
There is something fundamentally wrong with a society that allows incarcerated inmates marry, but denies that right to law abiding citizens simply because they are gay or lesbian. I hate this world.
I understand having certain rights revoked because you have violated the rules that entitle you to those rights. What I cannot comprehend is denying someone rights based solely on the fact that...

So, there are Republican politicians with daughters who are teen mothers, who have had multiple marriages, hire prostitutes, are closeted homosexuals, and have affairs…Just because you can’t control what’s in your own pants and your own home doesn’t mean you should get to control the bodies of everyone else.

Dolls vs. Stuffed Animals
So, I spent a year of my college career writing a paper on dolls [specifically dolls and race]. Becoming a parent has brought my mind back to everything I have read and written about the issues that dolls bring up about gender and race.
Let’s get something straight, I don’t hate dolls. I had an extensive collection of Barbies and dolls. I had several dolls and Barbies that...

Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation.
Woman: It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman: But-
Government: Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.

“Living in India made me understand that a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking a white skin makes people superior, even though the only thing it really does is make them more subject to ultraviolet rays and wrinkles.
Reading Freud made me just as skeptical…
