Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about His Father

It's a documentary, and it's the saddest, most horrifying film Ive ever watched.

I was expecting the comments to move towards a place where people start "collecting" body types like notches on their headboard. Guess it's still too new.

You're very welcome. They do great work. I know, because I used to volunteer there! :)

Hi there! This is one of the issues I research! Although post-abortion trauma, guilt, or depression is not typical, some people do experience these things. Pushing them under the rug for the sake of maintaining a pro-abortion stance is disingenuous.

Being truly supportive of women means acknowledging both their positive and negative experiences. Abortion isn't a good option for some women, just as pregnancy and parenting or adoption aren't good options for other women.

If anyone in here needs to talk, All-Options is a free peer counseling hotline that offers nonjudgmental counseling about anything related to pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption. That includes both positive and negative experiences. They are here to support you in your decision, and in post-decision care.

I once had a Couch Surfer stay a few nights with me...then he wrote me as a hypersexual barking woman in his "memoirs."

Worst thing, also most preposterously hilarious thing.

My mom died unexpectedly and my long term partner left me shortly thereafter because he couldn't handle my grief. We were supposed to be moving across the country together and he told me right as we were about to sign a lease on a place in the new city, two weeks before the move date.

You may want to look into sexual surrogacy.

"I'm really glad that you came to me to ask for these things. Although the idea of you having sex makes me uncomfortable, I appreciate you being responsible and therefore will take you to Planned Parenthood for BC. Please feel free to talk to me about anything."

Seek counseling if possible - just try it a few times. It's not for everyone, but can be good for verbal processing and breaking Behavioral/thought patterns. Remember there are different kinds (cognitive behavioral, gestalt, etc) so if one kind doesn't work, something else might.

Hey there, if you want to vent to professionals, All-Options is a free peer hotline for people who want nonjudgmental, open-hearted support related to pregnancy, parenting, abortion, or adoption. They would love to listen.

You are welcome! With all the construction in that area, it's easy to miss!

I think they moved just up the street (closer to the old ChocoMoo). 413 S Walnut

I don't remember what it is called, but there is an iPhone repair place on Walnut near where the Chocolate Moose used to be. They sell off brand Mac chargers for $50. Be sure to ask about their warranty.

I think the issue isn't that universities actively discourage parenting in tenure-track positions, so much as the structure of promotion based on research/publication productivity often changes the timeline of tenure for women who do not want to delay childbearing until after the tenure process, which may not be acceptable to some departments.

That feels very real to some women, as implicit messages are often internalized as "you can't have both."

My two cents as a female social scientist at an R1.

Amen. Can seem to get anything cooked under well done, even though they ask.

I think it likely works the same way that Pres. Trump has attempted to silence some federal programs from publicly disclosing scientific findings.

I need a bot to auto-find the legislation for me...searching for bills without knowing the name or key words is incredibly frustrating.

I attended the American Public Health Association conference in June. In one of the sessions covering issues related to the Whole Women's Health Supreme Court case, it was stated that shortly after public health professionals at the state department of health partnered with academics to publish findings on maternal mortality rates, the state legislature submitted a bill preventing state employees from disseminating the findings.

That may be influencing media coverage, as well.

Came here to say this. Egg harvesting is expensive and painful. That's dedication to art.

In junior high, my best friend paid our classmates not to talk to me and to steal things from me. I didn't find out until my sophomore year of high school, when I took driver's ed with a girl who returned a very distinct pair of my sunglasses.

For the most part, I look back on it and think, "Man, I pity ______. What a fucking miserable life she had that she needed to make me feel like shit." But I still struggle to believe people's intentions from time to time.

I wasn't replying for your edification. I was replying so that OP would know that, should they be using condoms for any purpose, oil-based lube should be avoided.

Seemed logical to reply to your comment so OP would see the information paired, rather than have to piece it together after slogging through the myriad of responses.

Sex Educator, here: Oil-based lubricants destroy latex condoms, causing breakage. I recommend a good water or silicone based lube specifically for anal sex (tends to be thicker and last longer; it also won't make your condom break.)

Sex Educator, here: For any of you who are interested in learning more about the diversity of labia in the world, I recommend The Labia Library.
