I love this! But I don't see balloons for Iron supplements for anemia and/or Magnesium for chronic pain, both of which I take with the assumption that there is evidence for those uses. Any votes from the peanut gallery as to their effectiveness?

I really hate when progressives are scientifically illiterate! A few seconds of googling would show you that tampons sold in the US are no longer manufactured with chlorine bleach. The dioxins present on tampons are the same, low to undetectable levels found in the air and your drinking water, thanks to general…

Another difference between Colombia and Bangladesh is that despite attacks and death threats by paramilitary organizations, Colombia has a fairly large labor movement and a lot of union organizing. Worker rights and strong unions raise wages across the board, not just at the places where they represent workers.

Maybe it was the frat house piece that came before it, and maybe it's just that I need a second cup of coffee, but I definitely read that Christina Ricci hates bras and was like "bras... is that a female version of bros?"

I really want to be sympathetic, but the examples seem more like Dave Eggers fictionalizing things that happened in real life, which Losse wrote about first. I'm sure that if you read any number of accounts of employees working at Facebook or other tech startups there would mentions of getting passwords, Friday…

Does the idea of *weekly* photo shoots seem exhausting to anyone else? I'm clearly too lazy to be straight.

Burning fat is not what I think of when I think of Strange Fruit. Maybe they think I'm a fat jazz fan or anti-lynching activist?

Sorry for the caps freakout. This is just like the third time this has come up on Jez this week, and it's driving me up the wall!

WRONG! The morning after pill is extra strength birth control. It is NOT AN abortificant! This is a completely different set of medications, and by continuing to conflate the two, we're playing into right wingers' hands! This shit drives me crazy!

Here's a great example of what I WISH Jezebel had been posting, instead of these vague sorry not sorry half assed apologies. http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/…

A) I can never un-see that ass. It is with me for ever (shudder). B) I love that Angus T. Jones looking like every college student ever is grounds for an intervention. C) Matt Damon is pretty much the best ever.

I would argue that the lyrics are performing rape culture almost as explicitly as Baby it's Cold Outside. The concept of a good girl who really wants it but says no for propriety's sake, and the guy who knows better than her and pushes her boundaries/blurs the lines to give it to her. This argument has been used to…

Oh yeah, I'm not even joshing. It is morally reprehensible and a pretty fantastic summer jam.

Blurred Lines has knocked out Baby It's Cold Outside and Lady Gaga's Just Dance for the title of best date rape jam of all time.

I want to get a copper IUD inserted. Do you know if it will be free? That would be AMAZING.

Amanda Bynes is totally wearing the uniform of all of my anxiety dreams in that picture. I have to make it through the day without bending down or moving quickly so that no one at work/school will realize that I accidentally left the house wearing only an oversized t-shirt that barely covers my lady areas.

For real, it's like Askars got the nordic adonis genes and his brother got the long winter inbreeding genes.

You sir, are incorrect, although I am impressed by your commitment to research. But both High Life and Budweiser, while undrinkable in can form, when ice cold and drunk from the bottle are sublime. They was robbed. Also shout out to Hamms, my favorite shitty regional beer.

Because what they recommend as punishments (isolation from friends, limitation of financial or physical freedom, beatings) are all classic signs of an abusive relationship? It's basically a guide on how to become an abuser.
