People get really weird about wage compression.

I find taunting fathers by having sex with their daughters to be exemplary of the worst mysoginst mindsets. Women are objects that men trade between them, and they lose value somehow when other people have sex with them.

I mean, personally I find women to be less strict in their expectations of other women. You can do whatever makes you happy when you’re dating women, but men will sit around and opine in the most clueless and offensive ways about what kinds of things demonstrate to them lack of effort on the part of women or “poor…

People should totally look into altruistic kidney donation! Operation-wise it’s safer than childbirth, and you’re totally good to go with one kidney and at the top of the transplant list if your remaining kidney ever bites the dust down the road. Your donation can set off a chain reaction of donations (the matching…

At first I misread the headlines and thought Snooki herself was on AM, and I thought that if the only real woman on Ashley Madison was Snooki, that would confirm my feelings about that website.

Do those haircuts mean we now allow women to get buzz cuts? Because when I wore a uniform we were told it could be short but had to remain “feminine”. That was some bullshit. I want buzzcuts to become a standard so that I never have to comb my hair again.

Oh good, because student life as done some disgusting things to me. One of them is that sometimes I fall asleep with coffee still beside me, wake up the next morning, roll over and start drinking it.

I have friends who prefer “Indian” because they feel the term Native American normalizes colonialism by including them in a nation that invaded them. They get lectured by white people and even going children in why the “correct” thing to call themselves is Native American.

Aw man. My husband and I wanted to make a group volunteer event part of our wedding party activites the week of the wedding and there was a REVOLT. People were incredibly unhappy about the idea of donating food to the local food bank and spending a few hours packing it. Heaven forbid we had incorporated that into the…

Do we have any speculation about whether or not these benefits extend to long term methods like Mirena, Nexplanon, or Depo? While I see many women continuing to take pills, younger women seem to be skipping straight to LARCs these days (easier to hide from parents, less user error, etc).

This was very interesting!

I use Instagram exclusively to follow food blogs. Come at me bro.

Why do people believe this?

“Vessel” (available on Netflix) covered this to an extent. They have volunteers staffing their website to communicate with women using their pills. They only seem to ship misopristol given how expensive and regulated mifepristone is, so they have women use buccal administration and spit out the excess after 30 minutes…

That is really interesting! Do you have a source for that? I’d love to use that in the future.

It seems especially weird because counseling women who call in and have chosen not to take the misoprostol is literally in one of the first videos you watch on medication abortion. Like, Planned Parenthood has its own protocols for that scenario that they approach with evidence-based care. These people have no idea…

I trust you on this one—I’m a health professional not an animal ag person. My point is only that animals are a middle man for our own bacterial inadequacy, and that a person with absorption issues is way beyond the stage of depending on that source. I think sometimes people have a false nostalgia for “natural”…

I was referencing this: https://www.aspca.org/fight-cruelty/…

Agreed completely. The need for B12 supplementation is absolutely a product of troubling modern ag practices, but it’s also true of around 99% of meat consumed in the US.

And so am I, ironically. I’m saying eat what you like, but at 6000 mcg daily your intake from animal protein is a neglible percentage of that. My point is that any given person with pernicious anemia can be a vegan, not that you should be if you don’t want to be.
