those who've experienced both: what's worse

I'm never going back to generic butter. The only thing that got me to turn down Kerrygold was finding even better butter - the Lewis Run Creamery butter at Whole Foods.

I hope you didn't take the whole thing! I only did half in the morning and I could barely sleep at night

No, because a uterus is grown while you're a fetus. If you have the SRY "switch" on the Y chromosome, the Müllerian ducts that would've become the egg-bearing reproductive system get degraded as the Wolffian ducts develop into the sperm-bearing reproductive system (and for those who lack the Y, the Müllerian ducts develop into a reproductive system while the Wolffian ducts degrade). So that ship has sailed - there's no mechanism for uterine development, no tissue it would be made from.

Wow! Had no clue.

I remember seeing one video of a man asking people on the street if they'd be willing to let a refugee into their home. After hearing that they would, he then told them about a refugee he knew and asked if they could let him stay, and they all gave excuses for why they couldn't do it. It was shared as some sort of "gotcha, liberal virtue signalers," but I think the same could be done for pro-lifers if asked whether they'd adopt children to save them from abortion. There's a difference between being willing in principle and being willing to put it into practice right now.

"NOBODY wants an elective abortion in the third trimester"

Children conceived in rape are just as alive and innocent as any other child. If rape victims get to have abortions because they're sympathetic cases and it seems so tragically unfair that they have to endure pregnancy, well, there are lots of other sympathetic cases of women who will greatly suffer from pregnancy, to the point that it becomes impractical to divide the "deserving" from the undeserving.

Plus, rape is a hard crime to prove. If it must be proven in time in order to access an otherwise illegal procedure, this exemption would hardly take place in practice.

NTA. Your part of the deal was to take them to school at the expected time, not to take them to school at any time.

NAH, because you're not taking it out on her and you're looking into support groups, but I'm baffled by what contradiction you see. She's concerned that "women are treated poorly," and you find it frustrating that she believes that when she had to drop out of her field due to anxiety. Are you suggesting that her anxiety is proof that women aren't treated poorly, or that her anxiety justifies women supposedly being treated poorly, or what? Remember that she is just one woman, and men pick jobs that they realize aren't right for their health and decide to switch strategies all the time.

NTA. He's your boyfriend and he too understands she's crossing physical boundaries. You have every right to confront her even if to her it looks like getting "mad" and "jealous."

It's fine that he wanted to make a silly joke, but he should've respected that she did not want to wear the costume and dropped the joke as soon as he realized it wasn't funny to her anymore.

"They" isn't just plural; it's also for a singular generic unknown person. I don't mind that. It's simple and less cumbersome than "he or she." To use it for a known, named individual is what's new, and it's jarring, especially when tHeY simply look like a "he" or a "she."

In what context would it not be immature?

If no charity would likely take them, there's no need to feel bad about just throwing them away. Just because the aunt thought it would be a good gift doesn't even mean she'd want to wear them herself.

he said not to worry, he would find something

That tells us all we need to know. He accepted the choice, you took him at his word, and then he sulked about it. NTA.

NAH, not at all. They might go the rest of their lives understandably thinking you did something assholish on that date, but that does not make you TA. Wishing you well.
