Any time our collective dignity as black people is violated, they always make sure to find a black face to reassure the anxious white audiences. God, the media is the worst.

If we rejected or accepted studies based on how they were reported in the popular media, no scientific progress would be made. Ever.

We are getting more and more women requesting this where I work and we (midwives, doctors and theatre team) do all we can to help facilitate it. We are also doing delayed cord clamping at section (when it is safe to do so) and skin to skin in theatres. It is great, good for babies, good for families. What is not to

Doctors and researchers trying to address any differences in health outcomes between babies delivered c-section and those delivered vaginally.

They always make sure to find Uncle Ruckus for comment. It's like how Fox News parades those New Black Panther fools around for their racist audiences. I see NPR isn't much better.

I’m baffled and dismayed by all the negative responses.

Think it would do a world of good for the justice department to investigate police departments across the entire country. Spread it out over four years and pick departments at random with no warning and then release the reports. Be proactive instead of reactive and confirm what black folk already know.

I’m sorry but FUCK YO DAD!!!

This seems sort of logical to me. But I'm not a doctor...or a scientist...or mother to a child I carried...so....ya know...

It is really gross to me to think of rubbing my cooterjuice all over a newborn - especially rubbing it all over their anus?! BLECH. On the other hand, however, I’m also quite certain that my boyfriend would be quite a fan of having me do this to his grown-ass man self.

Not the microbiome! Amniotic fluid being sterile and ORs / c-sections as well, means that c-section babies start behind the curve on cultivating theirs.

If you’re totally freaked out by the idea, then you can just try to make sure that you have pretty good flora yourself (lots of yogurt and probiotics) and the baby will slowly get your bacteria through exposure anyway. People have FLOATING CLOUDS of bacteria surrounding themselves, it’s going to happen.

Actually Jezebel you are kind of full of shit. This is a technique that comes out of more than a “boutique study.” NYU researchers have published and have been highlighted in more than one news source for the results of swabbing C-section born children in order to create the microbiome, e.g. gut flora, who diversity

Fun fact if you didn’t know: Susann sued the studio for that movie (written by Roger Ebert), though the trial didn’t happen until after she died. (Her estate won $2 million.)

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is the superior film though. It’s definitely my happening and it freaks me out!

The DMX story makes me so sad. He was really endearing on Fresh Off The Boat.

I got an STI from this photo. Thanks, now I need a Z-pack.

My friend told me in early elementary school that sex was when a man peed inside a woman’s vagina.

I usually request a phone date before I meet someone from an online dating site, which usually weeds out the crazies before I waste putting on my good makeup. My red flags usually deal with misogyny (not respecting what I do for a living, interrupting or mansplaining, etc.).

Oh we know your type too well! Rest assured you are not alone BUT consider this:: All things that you are holding on to but never use could be something that someone else could be using daily. For example, old books could be donated to a library in need. Favorite clothing from your past could be worn to a first job
