Actually, coconut oil is great for getting rid of acne. People often associate oil with oily/dirty and therefore acne-inducing. This is not the case. Oil actually dissolves oil. In some asian countries, "oil cleansing method" (commonly referred to as "OCM") is very popular. Myself, I have started using this for my…

OMG, yasss. Coconut oil is completely changing my skin for the better.

Man, Mat Fraser/Paul was such an excellent surprise - his performance was one of the best in the season. I wish he had been given a meatier role - he really brought great nuance to what could have been a somewhat phoned-in character. Hopefully they'll bring him back next season!

I don't think you can go straight to "narcissist" because she felt awkward for not having much to contribute to the conversation. My bf is a scientist and I'm a lawyer. When he gets together with his friends and all they talk about is protein-this and compound-that, it really is the most uncomfortable feeling in the…

Obviously pulling out is not a preferred method for birth control, and STIs were not part of the conversation when I entered this thread. I'm just saying that pulling out would likely lead to fewer births than taking no birth control measures at all (which is what the pope is talking about). Your original message was…

Pulling out is pretty effective. Not as good as the pill/hormonal options, obviously, but there are definitely more choices than just "fucking less."

After watching this trailer, I realized just how much I want all movies to aspire to be "the best acted, coolest looking Lifetime movie ever made." YASSS.

I'd also like to point out your argument that "vaccinating against HPV absolutely means you expect your daughter to have sex" is ridiculous. I imagine there is a very small percentage of parents who do not expect their daughter to have sex at some point in their life. Even if a daughter is a perfect little virgin…

Over 98% of cancers originating in the cervix are caused by a strain of HPV. Even with regular pap smears, I had a cervical carcinoma form before I could have it removed due to HPV. By vaccinating against HPV, you are removing the catalyst for almost all cancers originating in the cervix. The only person spreading…

Spoiler, dammit. Ughhhhhhh. :(

So, since she said something lovely, thoughtful, and feminist... she's obviously petty and actually thinks the opposite?

Yes, I guess I do not see the two as being mutually exclusive. I mean, I do not literally think the inanimate object had intent to harm my mom... But I guess one's perspective on the matter could probably correlate to their feelings on the statement that "guns don't kill people, people kill people". I still don't…

This is accurate. Even very large fibroids do not require a hysterectomy if removed invasively. My mom was given the choice between the laparoscopic procedure (with morcellation) or invasively via scalpel. It ended up being the most important decision of her life.

From what I understand, that is not how medical device reimbursement works.

I've been waiting for Jezebel to cover this issue because it hits so close to home.

Yeah, you are definitely right. That is some REAL bullshit. Pretty explicit.

"Sexpert Says Feminism Has Made You Shitty in Bed"
I'm all for calling out this article on its various bullshit, but the piece never mentions "feminism" or anything resembling it. The lead is also misleading: "Feminism: Taking rights from men and giving them to women; turning once pleasure-giving women into lazy,…
