It has been a GP. If I switch, (and typing all of this out is convincing me I should) it will be to a gynecologist. Thanks!

Two different doctors. The one with unprofessional receptionists stopped taking my insurance (probably a blessing), and the one with the NPs who exchanged a look is my current doctor. I can change my insurance this month at work, and my husband and I are going to try to start a family soon, so I may just move up to…

I did switch doctors after that, but I still don't like mine. The last doctor was a woman, and the new doctor is a man. The woman doctor was fine, but a little judgmental, and occasionally I got scheduled with one of the men in her practice, and frankly, I don't think that guy would do any better than the women in…

"Nearly a third of women aged 16 to 35 said they had avoided going to the doctor with gynaecological issues due to embarrassment, while one in 10 said they found it very had to talk to their GPs about these concerns."

Me.

An empty wasp's nest.

Which makes me feel like it is imperative that we laugh and laugh and laugh at pathetic assholes like this. And prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law of course, but also laugh and laugh and laugh.

In what universe is she the one who escalated this to a physical confrontation? Fuck right off, part-of-the-problem-being asshole.

Have we discussed this yet?: "If a married person realizes he or she is not by nature monogamous, but is not going to act on urges to have sex with other people (whatever their gender), I don't think they have to tell their nearest and dearest this."

At Victoria's Secret on Saturday, I looked up in the mirror and realized the lighting was making me see-through. Instead of just the blue veins I can always see, every vein in my chest seemed to be visible. I looked like Bill from this season of True Blood. The Hep V had got me.

I like it a heck of a lot better than the lime green nylon Caitlyn Becker is wearing in the segment.

Yeah, I don't think they are the same level of painful, but they are both painful. From the descriptions I am reading here, it sounds like getting kicked in the balls feels like a combination of menstrual cramps and getting kicked in the pubic bone. Definitely not fun.

When my mother was 13 she slept over at a friends house when she had her period. The friend's mom saw her tampons and wouldn't let her daughter be friends with my mom anymore. Because she thought that it was impossible for a virgin to wear tampons.

"I've also heard that they (usually) don't leave someone writhing on the ground in absolute agony, unable to breath, and possibly vomiting."

Here's something men don't seem to realize: getting kicked between the legs REALLY hurts women too. My mom was trying to teach my sister self defense, and accidentally really kicked her, and my sister dropped like a sack of potatoes and lay in the fetal position for quite some time. Nobody likes the feeling of blunt…

If there's anything I've learned about Dog People it's this: They're only slightly less more annoying than Cat People.

The racist friend is so obviously horrible I don't have much else to say. DTMFA.

I think a large part of this is the expectations of your peer group. A teen's peers are having babies later in general, and they don't plan to get married until later either. Most adolescents who give birth are 18 or older; in 2012, 72 percent of all teen births occurred to 18- to 19-year-olds. In 1991, the average…

That is nuts.
