I don’t know the specifics of how a surgical residency is structured, but I would imagine there could be a way to work a 3-6 month gap into a decade-long training program. For starters, I would look to how various European countries train their medical specialists. The rigor of a medical residency is built in and…

Truly, the surgeons I have had, especially obstetricians, have appalling stories of trying to start a family and complete their training at the same time. And let’s not forget that there is a shortage of OB/Gyns in this country. The fellows who were working at the hospital where I delivered my baby were expected to…

The issue is that we lose out of a lot of potential talent that way. Someone might be a compassionate, skilled, insightful physician. She might be the one that finally diagnoses the problem that has been making you feel like hell for years. But we will never know because the profession forces out women who want to…

And sometimes children just happen. Maybe we should be better at helping each other succeed.

Good call, mr burns. It’s not as if having more surgeons would result in a net benefit for everyone. Who the fuck needs doctors trained in complex procedures, I’ve got google and webmd. Bootstraps all you selfish surgeons, bootstraps!

Except, it’s only women who suffer from having children during this time period. Men can have all the kids they want, because the whole field and process is built around their biological realities and the assumption they have a wifey at home to take care of everything else.

It’s just a power play. See Terry Crews’ revelations from yesterday.

This was about a year after he married Jennifer Garner...yikes.

Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…

The stations of the cross are all big old wall clocks. The altar cross is a great big weather vane.

What happened to Bill O’Reilly or Harvey Weinstein wasn’t a “mere” accusation. It was multiple repeated accusations and all sorts of people coming out of the woodwork to talk about it. It was a pattern. Yes, somebody can take something you do the wrong way, sure, it’s a possibility. These careers are ending because of…

It’s very simple: Don’t make SEXIST (not “sexist,” as sexism is a real thing) jokes. Don’t comment on a woman’s looks, body, or imagined sex life. Don’t stare at her tits. Don’t touch her. Speak to her in a professional, polite, friendly manner JUST LIKE YOU’RE ABLE TO PULL OFF WHEN SPEAKING TO MEN.

No, we aren’t in those positions; our positions are infinitesimally worse. So no, we frankly aren’t going to to bother “looking at it from this perspective”, because we don’t feel sorry for you.

It’s almost like Trump’s cabinet is filled with grifters and thieves.

They’re also investigating legacy admissions, whereby children of alums have a 30% admission rate, right? No? I. Am. Not. Surprised.

Whenever I think of Harvard I’m like “There’s a school with way too many black kids.” Keep fighting the good fight, you dicks.

This makes me think of the discussion in an extended comment thread under one of the Hefner articles, which centered on the question of “why do (white) men think any skinny women with blonde hair is ‘hot,’ regardless of whether they’re actually ‘pretty’?”

Bingo... And that is exactly what women are afraid of. Looking like themselves. Without the mask of Standard Issue Acceptable Female to do the communicating/ interacting with the world for them.

Close. Men generally don’t know how to write *male* characters who *have* been raped. That’s why male characters with trauma in their past always have been partially eaten by a bear or gone off to war. When sexual violation is part of their origin it’s the sexual violation of their wives or daughters. Masculine…

How could you leave out the flip flop kitten heel abomination that tarnishes the memories of my youth?
