I would suggest Tabata. Popsugar has some nice videos on Youtube, definitely look it up.

Thank you for your good wishes. My PhD is fueled by widely varying degrees of financial privilege and patience.

1. Finish PhD

Thanks, to you as well!

The film is a biopic of a South Indian actress called Silk Smitha. It is set in the 1980s. It pays tribute to the music and general film aesthetic of the time, hence the sets, old men and tunes. It’s 2 hours and 24 minutes long, not a bad film.

Fatures Megan Fox?

This! My students (and some really dim grad students) are amazed at women in texts from the 19th century because “why can’t she just get a job?”

Can I please say, an immigrant, the American proposal “tradition” is the most puzzling thing ever? This is even when people are not putting other people’s lives at risk, like in the article above.

I have to second this. I hate the politics of the biggest loser too but the only reason I have visible ab muscles for the first time, in my 30s, is this woman.

My unusually sex positive South Asian parents told us from a young age that baby making involved “a special type of love” between parents. It was cheesy, but not wildly biologically inaccurate. As they slowly filled in the details regarding sex acts as we grew up, they insisted that sex is wonderful. I appreciate this…

Double post, sorry.

This is not entirely inaccurate but also not as simple as this. A lot of people, like me, have to eat a certain way for health reasons (such as Type 2 diabetes). These health issues affect weight, among many other things. So people “eating clean” may have motivations other than weight, but society values physical…

As an English professor, I can attest to the fact that my students understand absolutely nothing till I show it to them on a screen. Television/the visual media seems to be the only way information percolates for these kids, so I’m not surprised it is affecting adults as well.

This is why menstrual cups are needed! I can’t recommend them enough.

I have a friend who had one of those “not really trying but not preventing” situations. She got pregnant recently and is very happy about it. She gushed about how she was SOOO SURPRISED by it even though I know she was completely off birth control.

I actually agree with all the arguments you’re making below about organized religion being inherently opposed to feminism. But your first statement here just sounds like literal ignorance.

Thanks for the vintage ads! Also, I can please say I vehemently agree with this:

Mine is not from a parent, thankfully. But worthy of mention, I think.

I’m sorry, have you ever seen a male engineer? I demand you make those attractive first.

Your first paragraph read like satire but I agree with your last.
