I agree. My female PCP took 6 months to convince that I needed an ultrasound when I was having intermittent pain. Lo and behold, by the time I got it done, the cyst on my right ovary was the size of a tennis ball. The female OB/GYN she referred me to wasn't available for another 2 months, so I saw a male OB/GYN in the…

That's what we're taught in high school, but it's not always so clear cut. Depending on the source, Neanderthals are either classified as their own species, Homo neanderthalensis, or as a subspecies of Homo sapiens, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. Humans are actually also considered a subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens,…

Aren't "conquer lands" and "stand up for the oppressed" typically mutually exclusive?

The fact that myself, and every women I've met, has dealt with sexula harassment in at least one workplace or in public is what certifies Rape Culture exists. Men like you who dismiss all of our experiences as false, whether you are personally harassing someone or not, contribute to this culture.

My doctor told me the pain I was having 6 months ago was "just gas" and sent me home. Now, after a month's worth of doctor's visits and ultrasounds, I finally have an appointment to have the 8.3 cm in diameter cyst removed from my right ovary. And guess what, I have to pay another doctor's visit copay the day before…

At least I'm not the only one who took that away as the sole message of this article. I swear that my cleavage is a black hole.

That's because you are way ahead of us in time zones. That's our google doodle for today.

Oooh... I have anecdata too! Myself, the youngest of 2, did better in school and actually have my life together while my older sister gets to be the "dumb" one. She even got pissed off because I was the first to finish college (I'll have my PhD by the time she gets her bachelor's), and the first to get engaged. Does…

Why do you hypothesize that? I was under the impression that her cancer and early death was due to severe exposure to X-rays (she was an x-ray crystallographer before safety measures were put in place).

Because The Boondock Saints is one of the best movies ever made! (I, am also a woman)

Your brain and red blood cells also rely primarily on sugars. Not to mention the fact that your liver will produce sugar in the absence of simple sugars in your diet in order to keep your brain cells and red blood cells from dying. The primary issue with high sugar diets is the inflammation that can result. THIS is…

And Stephen King

Are you me?

True. I was put on antidepressants at the age of nine. They only made my symptoms worse to the point that I pulled a knife on my sister. I stopped taking them after that and would just throw them in the trash. Luckily, my sister forgave me.

Thank you, I was hoping that someone would bring up Elphaba.

Hmm...that's totally how my relationship worked out. I'm still not entirely sure how that happened, especially since I wasn't wanting a relationship at the time.

A co-worker of mine in undergrad (UNL) was partying on her 21st birthday and was put on the sex offender registry for urinating in public. Maybe it's a difference in location?

Hydrogen Peroxide.

I worked in a herpes research lab for 2 years, and roughly 10% of the adult human population has no detectable antibodies to HSV-1 or HSV-2. So yes, most adults have been exposed to the virus.

You're correct. In fact, from reading the deposition there is far more sections concerning the sexual harassment and sex discrimination than there was for racist statements. Not to mention, some of the sex discrimination portions would have far more standing in the lawsuit about her unequal pay and being told she…
