@laura__palmer I'd love to know that average age of the female Trump voter. 
From the polls I have seen, the number of female Trump voters starts dramatically rising in women aged in their late 40's. 
It's no coincidence that women who's likelihood of needing procedures like abortions are significant less would vote for someone who is ready to take such medical rights away.
These are people who have the mentality that "it doesn't apply to me so why should I care"?.
They forget it may apply to their daughters, their granddaughters, their friends etc. 
But really, what they fail at most is the basic decency to understand an issue doesn't have to affect them to want to make change. 

Bring this up to any man, even the "good" ones and they are absolutely shocked. 
I want to get a treadmill to keep active at home, my partner has said "you can walk the dog" and I do but even with my "Scary dog" privilege (one of the legit reasons I chose and American Staffordshire Terrier) I walk him early morning and evening on high alert. 
I park as close to the entrance to my gym at 4am as I can, I don't walk with my music on in my headphones anymore. 
I listened  to the Outloud ep where the team were discussing this, and while I agree that men are at a higher risk of violence, the unspoken part of the sentence is "violence perpetrated by men". No one seems to acknowledge this, not even the WHAT ABOUT MEN gang seem to grasp what it is they are actually saying. Male violence is a huge problem, it's one women walk around carrying the knowledge of like a weight around our necks, and one that men are oblivious to but all seem to think in the event of an attack they would do x,y and z because they're big and strong and therefore couldn't possibly be a target. 

I think it depends what workplace she's in. 
However, with little context, assuming she is in a corporate setting, both dresses are a hard no. 
From the close up views of each outfit I was like "okay those comments are out of line" but once the full dress was shown? Yeah nah, sorry babe, HR has a point even if it was not handled in the most professional manner. 
Saying "I'm basically in a blazer" but it turns out that you are literally ONLY wearing a blazer absolutely calls for an appropriate attire reminder. 
She shouldn't have been singled out though, and staff member comments should not have been shared. That HR Managers needs a chat with HR.
It should have been an email addressed to all staff with an "office attire" guideline reminder, which one would assume the business would have and would have been included in all employment contracts. 

I've gone no contact with my mother. 
I haven't told her why and she hasn't asked, I'm not even sure that she's noticed. It's been 3 months. 

The fact that he looked her male partner in the eyes and apologised to HIM shows exactly what he thinks of women.
To men like this, women are nothing more than the possession of men to do as they please with. 

I think what this article fails to notice and even on Outloud when they discussed Em Rata's vulva cleavage (camel toe) is that the "influencers" doing this all have one thing in common, thin bodies. 
If a thin person does anything it's instantly a "look", fit" or "trend" when a bigger body does the exact same we would instantly do the fake "oh honey, no".

@simple simon This is literally not a thing...right?
None of them men in my life are doing this....but maybe that's because they are grown men.
Who knows what the kids these days are up to 

Hall passes are supposed to just be silly fun that will never in a million years happen.
Like mine is Henry Cavill. My partner's is Mila Kunis. Our paths will never cross and if they do, there is absolutely zero chance of anything happening. 
Thus making it a harmless silly game. 
Having your hall pass be your partner's best friend is not how the game works.
Even if you both have open relationships, surely this is still a boundary you wouldn't cross? 

Such a crappy thing to do. 
Plain and simple. 
If you do this, you're a bad friend.
This screams "I've never had an original thought in my life so I'll just help myself to yours" 

This dress is cute but this is just "casual casual" not "business casual"
It's rumpled and creased and looks messy. 
However this exact same dress on a smaller body wouldn't have raised any issues. 

The last one!
My dad is a friggin saint!
I would have been out for blood.

Exact number wasn't disclosed. 
"Many" guests did show up.
You're welcome 

This makes me want to cry.
My mum was always my biggest adversary and would constantly tell me growing up that her job was to be a mother not a friend. 
I guess she forgot that one day her "job description" would change, as I got older and no longer needed an authoritarian in my life. 
We're not friends now when that's the role she should be taking at this stage, I'm in my 30s. We're not close. 
I long for what these mothers and daughters have and feel pity for the mothers who often share think pieces on Mamamia about being utterly clueless as to why they are estrange with their children. There is never "no reason" for this. 

@Guest. I don't think it's an unrealistic expectation to get treated with respect and kindness. To not be disregarded and belittled. 
I don't think it's unrealistic to expect a nurse to take 3 seconds to say "I need to feel how dilated you are, is that okay".
I don't think it's unrealistic to expect to be at least warned at a checkup with your OBGYN that in the event of an emergency we may need to do x, y, or z for this or that reason.
I don't think it's unrealistic to be warned, we need to cut you now to get the baby out, this is going to hurt, I'm sorry. 

I think it's unrealistic to expect women to just expect this behavior and treatment that a farmer would be arrested for if he did it to his cattle, simply because our mothers, aunts and grandmothers put up with it. 
Women who don't want improvements for the women after them simply because they didn't get them themselves is just plain ugly. 

Can we all agree that doctors who say "you're too young for cancer" need to go in the bin, because cancer doesn't care about age.
US Model Elly Mayday was 25 when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 31 when she passed away. 
I'm so angered and saddened by every single one of these stories where women's health conditions and concerned are disregarded and put in the too hard basket. 
We're all thinking of you Liz and your determination to change the way the medical field and Government view women's health. 

@mamamia-user-482898552 Spot on.
I'm 34, I was considering getting botox when I turned 30, I'm so glad I didn't. 
Its name is not a coincidence, it is a toxin. It weakens the muscles which will eventually cause permanant muscle damage and skin to drop. These 20 somethings who have been no stranger to the needle from the moment they had grown up money are going to be so sorry they did it in 10 years 

"Kidfluencers" and family bloggers/vloggers should be labeled for what they are, CHILD EXPLOITATION.
You are posting your child on social media for a profit, nothing else, regardless of how parents try to explain it. 
These parents are knowingly putting their children at risk because they are a paycheck, the child "enjoys" it because they were encouraged too just the same way a child will enjoy participating in a sporting activity if they are encouraged. 

@mamamia-user-482898552
Yes, I do. I feel unsafe in a society that doesn't respect my right to safety. 
Vyleen White. Shin* and her 72yo mother. Jane Doe - Crunch Fitness. Kieran*. Jeannine Baird. 
These are all cases of violence against women in carparks just this year....the ones that made the media anyway.
Some of these attacks were in broad daylight. 
Time and location do not matter. 
Invalidating women's fears when they have every right to be afraid in a society that wants to harm them...that matters. 

I have been a grey rocker for years, just didn't have a name for it.
I think it developed due to my dislike of small talk and being talk at rather than talked to.
Every Monday at the office when I asked "how was your weekend" my immediate answer is "not bad". I have engaged and held up my end of the conversation in a way that gives nothing away that may or may not be used against me. 

@mamamia-user-482898552 Yes because nothing bad has ever happened to a woman in broad daylight.
