sunili:

I have a question about your new comments policy:

From now on the Mamamia Team and our Community Moderators will be more actively deleting any comments that are … mean-spirited, aggressive, snarky, bitchy and comments that try to bait, mock or taunt…

Does this mean that Mia Freedman can still write articles mocking people for wearing tights-as-pants and so on but she’s not allowed to say that in the comments?

Please clarify.

Kind regards

also, do you think that means she won’t be allowed to describe grieving mothers of stillborn babies as things like selfish baby murderers/endangerers/birthzillas? Or women that don’t hate their period ‘freaks’? Or women who advocate for and support breastfeeding women as ‘nazis’? Or women who don’t sleep train their babies (ie leave them to cry themselves into a state of exhaustion and learned helplessness) as self-righteous zealots? If so I’m quite happy about this new commenting policy.

The Wire

serene-quill:

It wasn’t a coat hanger. It was a wire.

The theory was that by inserting the wire through the cervix, moving it around a bit and then removing it, an infection would result and the pregnancy would be aborted. It worked. It was March 1967.

• Bodies are hairy. No matter the gender, your face will have hair and that is more than okay.
• Your butthole is going to have some hair too. And maybe your nipples. And your tummy. And where ever else.
• Stretch marks. Those are a thing. Everyone gets ‘em. If you don’t, you probably don’t have skin.
• Vaginas smell. Every vagina has a scent. Don’t worry about it! (Unless something seems wrong, then go get it checked out! No need to feel embarrassed or ashamed.)
• Vaginas come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, flavors. All are beautiful.
• Penises come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, flavors. All are beautiful.
• You don’t need to shave anything if you don’t want to. It’s tooootally not mandatory. 
• Sometimes people get butt acne. 
• You can have a vagina and want short hair and think dresses are just the worst.
• You can have a penis and want long hair and think dresses are just the best. 
• You can wear whatever you want and style your hair however you want.
• You can even think whatever the hell you want.
• People might tell you that you are a girl because you have a vagina. People might tell you that you are a boy because you have a penis. People will tell you what your gender is. But in reality, you don’t have to be that gender. You don’t have to be either of those genders. 
• You are what you are and it’s just the worst thing if you try and hide that.

Yes. I counted so many things on that list that no one gave me any sort of head’s up about.
