i am a woman living in a male-run world that is antagonistic to my nature, both basically-human and gender-specific, and if i thought like you, i would be idiotic

i never said that surgeons just want to cut people up, and of course, they cannot practically disclose every possible outcome ... but surgeons do have a problem-centered (as opposed to patient-centered) medical care mindset that is unfamiliar to most patients, and they do tend to gloss over even the most common

surgeons are notorious for not disclosing possible side effects that patients really need to be prepared for pre-op ... they are are just focused on fixing the problem at hand ... what happens afterward is not their problem

i didn't get the michael douglas/matt damon casting until i saw this ...

uh, this was a protest in response to a treatment of one breast-feeding woman who had been shopping there

in some societies, women's bare limbs have been sexualized ... so they are expected to cover them up, and there are an INSANE amount of things available for them to do so

well, isn't the control and regulation of women's bodily functions man biz?

god, i feel sorry for those women ... because a) they are very likely to be already suffering from the trauma of childhood abuse, and b) america is not going to give a crap

erm ... i didn't say men hated women feeding their children ... nor did the original poster

breastfeeding is a natural, healthy, and dignified human interaction ... it is patriarchy that renders it "insulting and degrading" by denigrating women and child rearing ... to attach such labels to it, and to order one's life accordingly, is to embrace the lie

if you honestly believe that this is just boys being stupid, you need to see a mental health professional asap ... these young men are sociopaths, and if you feel that you can rationalize or even understand their behavior, you may be a sociopath, too

calling someone a ”mindless putz” because you disagree with them? that sounds like sarah palin

they risked her job ... they shamed her in front of her peers and superiors

suicide rates have at least doubled since 2008 in the u.s. and the european countries experiencing the economic downturn ... and teen suicides have risen sharply with the rise in cyber bullying

i said that people are already suicidal ... rates are skyrocketing around the world ... so when you commit a reckless act — like shaming a person or risking their job — you may hit the person who is not suicidal, but you may — you may increasingly likely — hit someone who is suicidal

yeah, because people possibly losing their jobs or getting trashed by their superiors isn't at all harmful ... and the shame? well, only losers feel shame

someone who commits suicide is a victim only of themselves

bully on then!

in england, 13,000 people committed (not just attempted) suicide between 2008 and 2010 — that was 1,000 more than prior years' rates
