@agirlopinions Thank you. It’s unfortunately all too common.

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@agirlopinions Yep! That’s how they found mine, during an ectopic pregnancy removal. I thought I just “inherited the family curse of horrific periods” until my mom had a hysterectomy & well what do you know, 50 years worth of endo. She’d only ever been told “women’s troubles amirite?” by drs

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@TruthSevers @tbailey1985 @CoraCHarrington @omghelayna Except they won’t, because too many parents still think “vagina” is a swear. I had a family member who didn’t learn that she peed & gave birth from separate orifices until she was in her 90s. THAT’S what you get when parents insist schools not handle health education.

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@tbailey1985 @CoraCHarrington @omghelayna It’s never too young to use proper names for body parts. Using baby words like “peepee” only reinforces the notion that there’s is something inherently shameful about our bodies, making it easy for abusers to silence through shame.

@CoraCHarrington First it was about kids that age learning anatomy, then it was about her not being given the opportunity to consent, now it’s about how opt-out isn’t true consent. Every time her argument is refuted, she moves the goalposts.

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@deltaozzimo @M_Jensen23 Maybe don’t tell others to not act stupid when you’re blaming the school for your inability to check your kids backpack & read through all the paperwork, even pages UNDER other pages. It’s opt-out for a reason; too many would refuse & let their kids wallow in ignorance & shame.

@Sarah_Haar_ I was at a pre-Google party & a guy got REALLY angry at me bc I insisted The Cranberries were from Ireland. Screamed in my face that they couldn’t possibly be Irish because HE was OF IRISH ANCESTRY and he would know if they were Irish or not 🫠

@redDesertweirdo I bet a lot of the jarlic whiners in the comments actually have jarlic in their fridge and just needed a reason to shit on a nice wholesome post because doing so makes them feel less miserable for about 4 minutes.

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@byConnieChang Millennial here- 100% yes. Unless I’m expecting a call (e.g. lab results) or you’re already in my contacts, I’m not picking up the phone. Any real human with a legit reason to call will leave a voicemail.

Introducing my 9yo to Hook and realizing Peter, Wendy and Smee are gone now 😭😭

@ShaunaMarieMack But more importantly- if you’re peeing from your vagine, please see a doctor 😧

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@ShaunaMarieMack Wow he really wouldn’t like Brenda Dickson, then. She has a HUGE vagine:

@RevDaniel Hey now, at least I use coasters*

Women: *makes a list of things the husband can do even when he’s not at actual work*

The “really want to help but don’t know how” crowd: NAGGING MAKES US CHEAT.

[Tyler Todt @tyromper]

*Tip for women.

Most of us men really want to help but don’t know how.

Give us lists!

Give us list items weekly we can take off your plate & we love to help!

Guys, ask her what can I take off your plate today?

The key is solid communication around this.

We can’t READ MINDS.

@RowanKitchen Little-known fact: it used to be called “The THIRTEEN Days of Christmas”…

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@emilykmay For me, it’s the aspartame in my Diet Cokes and sugar-free gum growing up, and the fact that I don’t emote.

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@thebreannabrown @tarynor It’s nuts how much fast food costs now. It used to be the cheap way to eat. Now it’s a fancy treat lol. We just get pizza now because we spend the same amount or less and get lunch the next day too 😭

[Monica @MonicaMBooth]

@momsense_ensues In my experience? 7/8. Maybe before, but you have to teach them all over again every time you visit your tightwad dad who won't waste a penny on a pee flush.

@faera_lane My Nana's chihuahua was named Peaches and the worst part about it was no one else in my family would sing along with me.
