“But now, it’s frustrating that Ratajkowski—one of the conventionally hottest women in the public eye, who also frequently talks about her identity as a feminist—remains unwilling or unable to identify her own myriad privileges. My Body critiques how society has objectified her specifically and women broadly, but it…

I’m sorry if it came off that I was blaming the patient who experienced this—that was not my intention whatsoever. I was questioning the medical advice that she was given at the onset, which she seemed to try to follow in good faith. We’re taught to be trusting of our doctors and I could see being swayed by the choice…

What seems to be absent from a lot of the articles I’ve read that interview providers is any concern about being sued for malpractice. Perhaps this is a simplistic interpretation, but the oath is to do no harm, and I can’t think that they aren’t aware that delaying necessary care and racking up a patient’s medical…

What is truly fucking perplexing to me is how this woman’s DC-based doctor, an area of the country that does NOT have an abortion ban, could have in their right mind recommended bleeding out vs getting a D&C or taking medication. If somebody medical on here knows better then please correct me but that seems so…

Adidas says it’s initiated a hiring freeze and doesn’t plan on doing layoffs but like, come on—they’re not going to just eat a $250 million loss, even if they can make some of it up with other releases. One of the manufacturers already had layoffs as a result of all this. West deserves to lose every penny but it must…

I feel like Blue Ivy could have her own season of Succession.

If my refusal to ever relive the horror that was my adolescent experience with low-rise jeans now marks me as an Old or a Dowdy, then so be it. I had a good run.

Who knows if any of this is true, but I’m always skeptical of people who are Professionally Married.

So I grew up in a fairly mainstream Presybterian church as a youth group kid. Our church was pretty moderate in its politics but the retreat centers we went to were more nondenominational, and I remember there being a Silver Ring thing that was built into the weekend schedule. During it they asked us to list qualities…

I don’t know, with airline travel these days I’m more surprised to see anybody NOT having a breakdown.

“being a survivor of sexual abuse makes the allegations she faces even more inexplicable.”

Call me a Leo apologist I guess, but I can’t summon outrage for this. Is it gross in a stereotypical entitled man sense? Sure. But everything seems consensual, there haven’t been any allegations of abuse or mistreatment to my knowledge, and while I realize this is a pretty low bar to clear, there’s worse shit in the…

She’s a real talent, and that show will be worse for losing her. What they did to her character in season 2 was pretty unforgiveable, and good on her for recognizing her worth and leaving for opportunities that will recognize it too.

After they gaslight you and tell you that it’s not the law’s fault, it’s your interpretation of the law and you being hysterical.

Checks that the party that loves a good child bride would come to this conclusion.

To JiminyCricket’s point, had that information been provided in the actual article, sure. 

I”m sorry, but this take ain’t it. His trust in Jamie Spears is misplaced for sure, but what he’s describing about his sons and what they’ve felt and dealt with seem like what would be pretty much expected by any kids going through this. Just because it was tough for them as kids and tough for Federline as a father…

Like, this is off topic from this particular subject (song credits), but it wracks my brain how Beyonce has not gotten any ounce of criticism for not making any kind of statement in support of abortion rights, particularly with her pride from being from Texas. (Or at least not one that I’ve seen publicized) And maybe…

It drives me goddamn crazy when people treat abortion rights like some fun intellectual thought exercise. Generational trauma, forced birth, and delayed miscarriage/ectopic pregnancy care sound like a crisis to me, but yes, let’s debate it in a seminar in a hallowed academic institution like good little scholars.

And what enrages me is the FUCKING GASLIGHTING that comes from any GOP turd made to respond to stories like this, which usually comes in the form of, “It’s not the law, you just don’t understand the law and you’re being hysterical, and if anybody is suffering it’s your fault!”
