I’ve heard this crap from many people, usually the ones incapable of second-convolution thinking. A quick analysis of any Peterson lecture reveals a happy fungus of both sexism and Nazism just beneath the surface.

I mean, I, a straight woman, heard you and my legs snapped shut like a steel trap. So I’m pretty sure your mimicry is spot-on.

Brittle tough-guy bluster? Check

You just identified what happened.  They initiated a car chase with an armed man, and engaged in a shootout with him when he fired back, all while knowing the very person they were meant to protect was there.  And now that person is dead because she got shot.  Whatever else may have happened, there were plenty of…

I can’t stand the royals and I can’t stand Harry and Meghan either. They’re all so damned insufferable.

If you take a step back and ask “What, exactly, do we need the police for and want them to do,” this sort of situation would seem to be exactly it. Armed and dangerous guy with a hostage. And yet, the police’s actions (which don’t seem to me, to display a whole lot of dexterity and skill in crisis management, at least…

I read somewhere that the reason the Royals started doing “public service” and special events is because they were trying to humanize themselves. The fate of Tsar Nicholas terrified them.

For the Gen Xers like me - 1. who are these people? 2. Is this like our Brad cheated on Jen with Angelina?

This isn’t a positive development, but at the same time, Italy is not known for long-lived ruling coalitions these days. There’s a pretty good chance that she’ll propose a lot of nutty changes, there will be huge protests, and her government will collapse a year from now when it comes out that she took a whole bunch…

I’m sure it’s not a big deal to sign a waiver, but I don’t even understand why a waiver is needed in the first place? I’ve never had to sign a waiver for any prescription medication I’ve had, no matter what the other side effects could be.

And where else should she find relief given that other local hospitals have blacklisted her? Maybe the medical community should do better and they wouldn’t have to be defensive. Plus this is great as this is spreading the word about a shitty doctor. Potentially saving other women from going through this.

I think her goal is not only finding relief but in sharing the insanity of her attempts to get competent and compassionate care. I certainly didn’t know this was a thing. And I bet a lot of other people didn’t either. Was Tiktok the best place to bring this to public attention? I don’t know. It seems to have worked.

This, plus that leftmost pic making her look slightly like Elizabeth Moss, is “The Handmaid’s Tale” levels of disturbing.

Absolutely ridiculous. I remember being prescribed Accutane, which has an extremely high risk of causing severe birth defects, and all I was told was to use two forms of birth control and to take a monthly pregnancy test via blood draw. They made you take a quiz every month online to remind you of all of the risks…

If the doctor’s personal philosophy potentially violated the Hippocratic oath, then she’s well within her rights. Or will you also be clutching pearls about the other patients that posted negative reviews of the same doc as well and telling what they should be doing instead?

Another shocking part of this is the idea that hospitals can not only withhold treatment, but also advise OTHER hospitals to withhold treatment, from patients.

Hospitals snitching out on women in pain just to keep them viable for child bearing. Sounds like something out of dystopian movie but this is the future if the GOP/Conservatives/MAGAs/Evangelicals/et al have their way.

Just wanted to highlight this sentence for anyone who missed it. Bravo. 

At least he doesn’t want to cannibalize them, amirite?

I both agree and disagree with her. Now that more nonsense about Levine has come out, I would say there was a clear descrepancy of power between say him and his former yoga instructor especially since he could directly impact her ability to maintain an income if he were to shit talk about her to other clients.
