...And my instincts about the typical CPAC attendee were right: "Genital Herpes guy" > Jeb Bush.

Jeb was getting super impatient during Robertson's... whole thing, and then he got onstage and got aggressively and repeatedly booed. Not a great day for Jeb.

I went to the E.R. a year ago because I just felt "weird". My heart was beating a bit fast and I felt...no other way to say it....weird. I thought for sure I was being an idiot. Or that maybe they might say it was a panic attack. I almost talked myself out of going.

But seriously, "weakness, sweating, or fatigue" is a ludicrously unhelpful constellation of symptoms and a triage nightmare, it could literally be anything.

Yes, as an ER physician, I'm aware. But women need to be made aware of this, and actually go get checked out. And it's still astounding how many slightly older docs or grumpy residents will still blow these symptoms off.

I thought I had had a heart attack or similar. I went to the emergency room and got a bunch of tests and finally the Dr asked, "What exactly made you think you had something wrong with your heart?" I said, for the millionth time, that I had for a few days experienced chest pain, nausea, radiating pain into my arm and…

Of note, this (very small) study was based on interviews with women ages 30-55. Specifically young women are likely to delay getting help — possibly because for most women in their 30s heart attacks aren't even a consideration. Women are also more likely in general to have the kind of non specific symptoms that can…

Another huge issue is that women don't tend to present as often with the crushing chest pain that men do and that get publicized in all these articles. Their symptoms are often weakness, sweating, or fatigue, so they think that it's something else.

i'm with you. i get pissed about a lot of things, but the fact that old navy has a particular style of jean that they have been calling "the boyfriend" cut for years and that they continued that naming convention throughout their line for continuity, branding, or even because [i, personally, think that] putting…

This was my reaction as well. It's just the same name that they already have for women's jeans. Do they also sell the Sweetheart and the Diva in baby sizes? I don't know, but it seems totally possible, and so yeah this is not really pushing my outrage alarms. If they did not already have the Boyfriend line for…

I don't want to sound harsh but I hope you are kidding, because that is really dumb. Your kid will like what she likes to like and if she likes princess crap, don't shame her or make her feel ashamed.

I can't really get up in arms over this one, sorry. They aren't called 'boyfriend' jeans because the ladies who wear them are SO heterosexual and SO have a MAN they FUCK. They're called boyfriend jeans because unlikely traditionally cut, tighter women's jeans, they are looser and more relaxed throughout. Sure, baby…

Depending on where in Alaska, a .357 isnt a bad gun to carry. The state is remote and has some pretty serious wildlife you may have to contend with. I would like stopping power if I was defending myself from a wolf or bear.

It's also pretty reductionist and inaccurate to call Malcolm pro-violence. He was against the philosophy of non-violence being preached by his contemporaries. He was, instead, pro-self defense. Some quotes:

my blackness has been questioned in real life and on here. isn't that a form of anti-blackness? to question an integral part of someone's being when they voice opinions that you don't like? do you all have a problem bc i'm voicing such an opinion in mixed company? if so,fuck that. i post whatever the hell i want…

Malcolm X was originally a separatist. His father was a follower of Marcus Garvey who believed that all American blacks should return to Africa because they could never achieve true equality in the States. When Malcolm preached for the Nation of Islam, he did advocate for complete separation of the races along a…

You mean the mentor with whom Malcolm parted ways precisely because he found out that sexual misconduct? That is one of the key reasons he left the Nation of Islam. He interviewed the women directly and chose to believe their word over that of his leader, prophet, and mentor —a man for whom he'd previously been…

did i speak outta line? should i,a black woman,never criticize a Black Man? are you going to say that the f.b.i. made that up to tarnish a Great Black Man? should i hand in my black card?

Actually, by the end of his life (and you can read this in his autobiography) Malcolm X was beginning to change his mind about race and his approach to gaining equality for African-Americans.

He was assassinated by members of his former sect for reversing course and speaking out against the very beliefs for which you're condemning him, so...
