It is really challenging in these situations to not judge and just be happy for them, or at least slightly disappointed because we always want BETTER for people. What is hard to accept is that our definition of “better” is not always the same, and we can’t project our ideal onto anyone else... but it’s hard to…

Biggest dilemma of life... I always felt too young and now I feel like I am getting to be too old (at 27...). My friends and I were having this exact discussing at a wedding on Saturday... It’s like, you try really hard through high school and university and mostly it’s just to get your parents off your back, and then…

grandchildren? early thirties?

In canada .... I've never had a gown given to me either. Just remove the pants and place a sheet on top of my lap with my legs up. The breast exam is optional for me because of my age but happens after the pap, at which point I would remove my upper clothes while they are taking the notes from the other exam.

Ekk together makes it seem so much better in the moment

I was thinking the exact same thing. I was born in 88 and I was in 8th grade when this happened. She should have been in 7th grade - according to google she was born in 89? Unless the U.S. starts school way after we do in canada??

Yes, he wants to make sure they they remain idiots too, but removing access to good education and health care.

I know, it is tough — keep your head high :)

I also have PCOS and since going off the pill, have been struggling with weight issues and hair growth (THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART OF EVERYTHING!).

Hi :) the only thing I would like to say is, from the article, it would seem that the girls are being taken from room to room for different tests. So perhaps the patient doesn’t even have an opportunity to discuss any symptoms involving their vagina - and some patients may feel uncomfortable bringing them up until the…

Eh, I have PCOS and recently went off the pill so have been experiencing wild hair growth in places that should not have hair. Also it’s dark. And kind of thick. Anyway I get my legs waxed and had it done two weeks ago. Well my legs are already hairy but I wore a skirt today. It was kind of hard for me and all I could…

But seriously, if the type of guy you’re asking on a date is intimidated by the idea of a woman asking him on a date, then that is NOT the type of guy you should be wanting to date. The same goes for who pays for the date - if this behaviour is intimidating to the man, then maybe that’s the first red flag. This all…

I have SOOO many questions. I need to know more

I don't even understand how her son can work under her in a state office? That's a thing that's allowed?

She should have just named him Wolfgang and kept her mouth shut, hahah
