A friend used to try to make out with women at parties as a game, and brag about it afterward. "I'm gay, it's fine." It's not clear to me how being gay excuses the objectification, thankfully he grew out of it.

Listen to what you're saying. You're derailing a point about not being white and privileged (totally not optional). That's some racist shit.

Yes, thank you, I was scrolling for someone to pull this out. Dysfunction is linked to pregnancy, not strictly delivery method, and not even all pregnancy.

When Mr. Cherry and I started dating, we splashed out at Robuchon (in Vegas). No joke: my meal had both foie gras and veal cheeks. I ate tortured goose and baby cow face... and they were so delicious that I felt bad for about 0.0001 seconds. It was the best meal we've had to date, and he grandly promised that if we…

Serious question: what's the catch? I've only visited the site once because I'm worried it's doing something to my laptop. I'd like to visit... more than that. (I've tried googling pornhub "downside" and "what's the catch" but don't find anything.)

Yup, Moissanite fan here; I was a geology major. When Mr Cherry showed me some rings before we got engaged, I immediately directed him to the Moissanite website. Now I have a big sparkly rock that doesn't crush my soul (incidentally, superficial family members gush every time they see it). I only wear it to parties or…

This happened to Mr Cherry! He was the best man. The bride told us our hotel room was covered (it was not, which we discovered when we went to check out). She also approved the suit he bought months prior, but the week before the wedding changed her mind and told him to get something completely different (we nicely…

Never thought I'd be that guy, but I'm hate-following someone just to watch the impending train wreck. (She is waiting for him to get out of jail. She posts daily on how much she can't wait for marriage and/or fucking. She also posts some pretty weird "fuck feminism" memes.) My finger hovers over unfriend, but I have…

*raises hand* I work in geriatrics. I hate to say this, because a lot of folks tend to think dementia "makes" their loved ones different. But that's not how it works. Dementia removes filters people carefully keep in place their whole adult lives. Unfortunately, racism and sexism don't sprout out of minds from nowhere.

It's a little nuts, but I like hearing the horror stories (I'm in the 2nd trimester). It feels good(?) to remind myself that not everything goes according to plan, and try to prepare for the unexpected. I loved hearing about my friend's 70 hour labor. She kept apologizing for telling me, but I was like, "Nah, bring…

Ok, normally these paleo trends are wonky, but from an orthopedic perspective, this is legit. According to scientists in bone health, people who use eastern toilets have healthier hips (more strength, balance, and flexibility), with lower incidence of fracture and replacement than those of us who use western toilets.…

Yeah, black twitter asploded. Also, someone created a screenshot so as not to give the original article any more click-throughs: http://www.donotlink.com/framed?545408

I was just coming here to say this. There was a report on NPR a few years back about the two segments of society who receive the worst medical care: the very poor, and the very rich. The latter look for or get conned by yes-men who just do what the patient asks (no "regular" MD would have cleared propofol for MJ like…

Not just you. I have sworn that if I get more pressure to post any pregnancy pics, this will be what I put up:

What a timely thread. I had been steeling myself for a boy (teaching him respect for women and care around the police, as a POC). Recently, we found out it was a girl; initially I was ecstatic, then I burst into tears. I haven't figured out a tactic for insulating her from society's message that WOC are worthless. I'm…

Can I tell it to you from the opposite perspective? When I was online dating, I was contacted many, many times by white men who said they "usually don't find [my] race attractive." (That is my face in my avatar.) They never imagined a black woman could look like me. Many black women look like me (see: my family).…

Thank you. I spent the past 30 minutes searching, but can't find it today: it's an amazing tumblr post showing like 20 asian women who have different skin tones, face shapes, etc. Interspersed between pics is a screed about how the multitude of possibilities makes it impossible for anyone to say they're "just not…

#notallathletes (maybe all cross fitters, tho)

I work with adults, but maybe this can help other clinicians. What's worked for me: I usually wait for the patient to bring it up (they nearly always do, somewhat defensively or shamefully due to a history of being lectured by providers).

To get another hole in the abortion punchcard, like we're at damn Jamba Juice. How else do you get the official Feminist Certificate?
