Yeah. I was worried about getting trolled for awhile after the book came out, but it looks like it was seriously just paranoia.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Orr railed against requiring health insurance plans to cover contraceptives. “It’s not about choice,” said Orr. “It’s not about health care. It’s about making everyone collaborators with the culture of death.”
This drives me batshit. Contraceptives are not just about sex. They are probably the only thing standing between me and another operation.

The name change not the contraceptives.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Silly megan. No one ever takes the pill except to prevent pregnancy.
I wonder what the statistics are on that, because I know several people who are taking or have taken the pill for reasons other than contraception.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm taking the pill to prevent STDs!!
...what?

Gud, glad you clarified because my little brain hurts from trying to figure that one out!

Yeah, I've gotten in the habit of coughing up the extra $30 per leg on United for Economy Plus. It's like 5 extra inches and it makes such a difference.

This is ME! A few years ago when I went into urgent care they could not believe I was in a same sex relationship AND on the pill. Still true today, as a matter of fact.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I keep seeing the ads for the Yasmin pill, or whatever it is, and thinking how great it sounds with the shorter periods and reduced irritability and whatnot and wouldn't it be great if I could take that but it would interfere with the whole trying to get pregnant thing. Sigh.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I take JetBlue frequently between New York and Phoenix. One midnight flight was pushed to 1 am, and I fell asleep right next to the gate. Only to be woken by a gate agent at 1 am, shaking me to tell me that (1) they had changed gates and I missed it (2) they had called for me a lot at the other gate and (3) they were holding the plane for me. I'm not sure other flights/gate agents would have done that. I made the plane. Also, the TV thing is awesome. TV makes being stuck so much better. It really is a panacea!
Then the flight was two hours late and I was 30 minutes late for a meeting with a Japanese client and I had to change into the same suit I wore to my high school reunion that weekend. But still. The TVs rock.
