That....is not true, and borders on blaming people for feeling the stress they do in their lives. Stress isn’t a thing that appears because you will it to, and it’s not something that goes away because you’ve “fixed the problem,” like fixing a leaky pipe. To be fair, I’m not advocating you not take control of the…

I thought this ended decades ago. Why can’t the FDA simply say that your drug will 100% not be approved if it’s 100% for women and is not 100% tested on women? What’s so hard about that?

I think a lot of women really suffer from carer’s fatigue.

Great observation. I didn’t realize until you said it that this is what has been bothering me about this drug.

I have always wondered how much of the low libido problem was just due to life sucking and not having a supportive partner.

Alcohol probably more of a libido enhancer than this pill, and it’s worst side effect is unintentional fedora-wearer sex.

Good. The drug’s astroturf campaign was unpleasant, as was its co-opting of women’s organizations to push a drug that barely works (10% of users experienced one extra sexual encounter a month), further negatively pathologizes low libido, and actively makes life kinda suck (for any user who wants to also enjoy a glass…

I’m gonna keep posting this every time there’s a “female viagra” story because it bugs me so much: this is an anti-viagra. Viagra makes the willing able, this stuff makes the able willing.

Petition to stop calling this female viagra. Viagra is for when you feel desire, but can’t get the physical reaction you want. This is basically the opposite.

Sentences in this country are draconian to the max. We imprison people for decades and yet people demand more. Other comparable countries, with far less recidivism, imprison people a for fractions of the periods we do.

I’d say the problem is where the line is between “redeemable” and “completely broken”.

some people could be argued to be “completely broken” from the get go.

While I think solitary is a terrible practice, especially for extended periods, at what point does the rights of violent inmates to be out of solitary trump the rights of the inmates in general population to have a safe environment?

Solitary confinement as it is currently used is psychological torture. No one familiar with the study of human psychology, and the reality of humans as a social animal, can possibly think that solitary confinement is anything but a horrific and counter-productive tool.

Who actually killed the person.

Even the people who are trained to work with prisoners are set up with the narrative that prisoners are liars and cons and will play the system so don’t even bother to help the dirty lazy bums. This is paraphrasing my social work books, teachers and co-workers.

Our prison system is icky. There are fairly easy things we could do to improve it, but it would require investment.

Tv and sports I get, but AC?? That’s cruel, especially in the south. I assume the guards suffer through that too? I’d love to hear the reasoning behind that... Oh wait, I already know! $$$$$

The pretense of prison rehab is infuriating. You don’t have to know Harvard exists to know you can’t release people from solitary to the streets. You just have to be a human.

Prison is far more punitive than it used to be. Fifty years ago, it was about rehabilitation. An ex-con’s chances of getting hired were pretty high. Nowadays, no one wants to hire them so the system repeats itself.

Imagine if this dude:
